Check out a Guide to eating out in Herefordshire. That link is a suggested tag line for them. This site is, in my eyes, is naked.

The site is essentially naked. Visitors need a little personality or something to remember you by, and though content is king, it still needs a name.

The Herefordshire Business Directory on thier site was in full birthday suit, missing logo and tag line. If you are shooting for return visitors some kind of branding/dressing needs to be implemented. Visitors need visuals and catch phrases if they are going to remember your site. Naked guy or naked guy with a cowboy hat on, who are you going to remember?

Take the time to add a little flaire to your site, and make sure your visitors know who you are. If you can’t do that, then your just another website.
