Ahh but what does being polite really mean in a business circumstance?

By telling them that their pages look crap may communicate 2 things:

1) you are telling them they have inferior design skills to you
2) you are critisizing them

Peope dont always take kindly to having their work dissed, and in a business situation may cause unwanted friction and bad feeling.

Its not like having a piece of food in your teeth where its obvious that something is'nt quite right, its more like them having nerd like side parting which they think looks great.
