This is a GREAT post from @cbracco on his TightMix blog.

Basically, keep your website design simple - that's what your fans want - to be able to find what they're looking for.

As you can see, an overwhelming 76% of participants want their web experience to be easy.

Do you think your fans will be able to access your gaudy Flash website from their iPhones? Think again.
