Many web-designers design websites to be beautiful and attractive, but they lose focus on the purpose of the actual website in hand. The purpose of a website is normally to communicate information or to facilitate in the process of making sales or to encourage particular actions. I agree with your sentiment Darren.

A static website that does not engage will simply cause someone to leave. Its a much more interactive user experience world the internet is becomming and like you say you only have a few seconds to capture visitors and engage them in your site. Good stuff!
