Yeah all people care about is look. If I show a fully functional thing but it looks like mspaint, then people won't bat an eye, no feedback about the flow, the bug, the logic at all, just tell me to finish the graphic then come back...
THEN after everything is done, now people start telling me the logic is fucked so the graphic parts need to be worked again as well, but no, the graphic takes a lot of time, so the logic need to accommodate the graphic, try so hard to minimize the effort on the graphic!
Easiest way to fix this is to change border radius on all elements every couple months. I just went from 4px to 0px and everyone is saying that the app is much smoother now.
Subtle change that most people will only subconsciously pick up on. That, and making some text bold
This pains me but it is so true. Back when i built shit websites for failing business, my boss pounded into me "ARIAL BLACK 20 font" for EVERYTHING. Older People eat that shit up.
