I visited my bank's website and it hit me. For some reason, their crappy website design appears as more trustworthy than other, sleeker designs of modern banks. Why is that?

Maybe because it's your bank and you're likely to at least moderately trust the bank you choose? But also, more generally, because it says a lot of things, maybe things you're not conscious of, but it still says them. Off the top of my head:

1) "I manage to survive with this crappy of a design, so I must be doing something else right."

2) "I don't track you all that much. I just get out of the way and let you do stuff."

3) "I don't invest as much time in marketing, I invest time in getting stuff done"
