NetBoots - Websites for Conservative Campaigns Starting at $50/Month

The Left has Better Graphic Design

With the exception of the fantastic work done at United Liberty, Campaign for Liberty and other libertarian leaning websites, right leaning websites tend to look horrible.

Take for instance Townhall.com. Townhall, as much as the writing there can often excel in quality, looks terribly corporate and seems more like a giant advertisement than an actual news website (which, to be frank, it probably is). The font of their title has that action movie look that also plagues sites like Powerline.

Then there is the horrible layout to The Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson’s website. Seeing as Carlson is very famous and influential, one would think that he could manage to get a layout that isn’t abhorrent. Instead, it looks more like a PDF version of a cheap tabloid paper like the National Enquirer or the New York Post.

The contrarian would say that, while these websites may not look that great, their content is superior. However, in the world of media, presentation is paramount. Slate, a moderate to left magazine, has some of the best layout of any internet publication. Is it any wonder their readership is in the millions?

I have noticed this before. The left is full of artistic hipsters, and the web designs show it. That said, it’s hard to understand why conservative leaning web sites are all just so awful. Not just average, but awful.
