I don't think they were necessarily poor.
The thing is with sites it is very hard to distinguish one from another and they all format the same to a degree.
So for a cheaper price what this kid was doing - I dont think you can reasonably expect an exclusive groundbreaking, never seen that before, type site. But perhaps he was a bit premature by showcasing what was a work in progress.
Designing and formatting a site is hard. Its hard to realise someones imagination into a visual concept. It takes time and continuous refinement. Getting colours and shapes and a general feel is hard to be harmonious and make things work together..
Most here couldnt design a good business logo let imagine a complex site to convey to a designer. And when a designer is let loose they say "thats not what i had in mind"....
I remember he was getting panned regarding his SEO standpoint and to be fair - i understood where he was coming from.
SEO is a black art and time intensive - google it.
Many site companies only include the basic SEO tricks such as metatags, sitemap and search engine url trawling.
Now google keep moving the goal posts so now more than ever sites get ranked due to black art alogrithms and not word density or H1 H2 H3 tagging. They even take a downer if the colours are wrong. Or too many capital words or bad font size.
They now like linking and pointing and crap loads more especially weighing is towards google adwords for obvious reasons you get more brownie points for that.
Which I have found it to be a complete waste of money.
SEO needs monthly tweaking all the time to make it work.
I made the mistake of contacting a well known place regarding it and they were gonna send a Rep from manchester or liverpool to newcastle.
I think they thought i have blue-chip deep pockets and it was gonna be about £80 quid a month. Needless to say i told them not to bother - but it highlights my SEO point that if you buy a site for 300 or 400 - dont expect ongoing black art SEO.
He did however have a wobbler and evaporate which is a shame as he was largely trying to educate the uneducated with regard to how it works.
But Regarding SEO..
If you have a website goto SEOmysite and see how your site fares.
