Haha no wonder, check out the website its dodgy as f. https://bigtop.co.za/

This is actually the most legit thing I can think of that could be behind an ad. It looks like an actual small business that is using ads as a replacement for the yellow pages, presumably when people are searching for party entertainment. I had assumed that basically all online ads were just straight up scams.

That said, I don’t ever want to see ads for it either. If I lived in Durban and wanted a juggling act, I’d like to be able to find it, as I’m sure all their clients would. I wonder if the market is just very competitive, or if they don’t show up on regulular searches for some reason.

Funny how a simpler and self-made website is seen as "dodgy af" but geocity 90s mash of stuff is "nostalgic".

It's not the neatest but it feels real, like these guys are into entertainment for parties, not web design.

Not enough layers of SPA and Tailwind for your taste?

Serious question: why do you find it dodgy?

Well, it's harshly put... bu not entirely untrue. The website would probably need to be refreshed.

I agree, that site looks like the owners lack basic self-awareness. Surely they must use the modern internet and recognize the difference?

And if they’re unable to invest in their site or they’re simply shut out of the modern world, I’d assume the same applies to other aspects of their business as well.
