Q. Why the imapsync website looks so old fashion?
R. Once in a while I receive messages from people complaining about
the website style, not that much about the content by the way,
as people don't read.
I know the imapsync website has a grandmother style,
I'm not offended by complaints about it.
Here are several reasons it stays like that for now:
* I like to do things myself
* I like static web
* I'm proud to be w3c compliant

Very very few sites are w3c compliant, it's because all CMS frameworks aren't.
* I prefer to spend more time on the product itself than the showcase
* The product is a command line, a fancy website to sell a command line
makes more disappointed buyers
I agree I could do some sort of A/B experiment and see whether during
a month I sell more imapsync on a brand new style B site than
the current A one.
Besides, don't misunderstand buyers. The surprising thing about complainers
is that all are web designers, none is a user not in the webdesign branch.
I even received some phone call from a buyer saying: "I saw your website
and I told to myself: this can't be a fake one, the product must be a good one".

(well, not w3c compliant, since only mad people try to be w3c compliant)
