Hell, C2C's site itself needs a major rewyrking. It looks like a place where you would order vitamin pills from a true blue pyramid schemer.
To address sillydog's question, I surmise it may be partly due to the age bracket of the majority of the guests on Coast, who believe having a web presence at all is a win situation through default.
