Or worse, one page. Way back I worked on a site which only had the tiniest
preview unless you registered (no, *not* a porn site). Registration
usability sucked and so hey, no customers. The site stats were almost
entirely composed of the home page. The site had had significant ad money
spent on promoting it, so lots of people hit the home page, but
got no further.

So folks, think safely with your usability.

This stuff matters.
