Absolutely. People like beautiful things. An attractive site will likely keep people on the site longer, all other things being equal. Keep people on site is more than just looking good, but it should help.

Thanks for the interesting points.
I have to agree with number 5 that a great design really lowers your bounce rate. Whether we like it or not, humans are attracted to nice looking things. If someone arrives at a site that looks like it cost $2 to build, they will click the close button quicker than you can say “bounce”!
Thanks for the read
