Ugly site for a good purpose

This site is truly ugly. But Angelwear is for at good cause: they get celebrities to design clothes and stuff and the profit on each sold item is going as charity to an organisation of the celebs choice. Celebs participating is Phil Collins, John Carpenter, Flea and a big bunch others.

But why oh why do all charitysites have to be so ugly? Is it because it would be a contradiction to say that all profit goes to charity but seem to have invested in good design? Beats me. Couldn't a webdesigner bring his knowledge in charity work and do something about it?
