If your idea of a good site is a 3MB monster full of useless whitespace, hero images, carousels, hamburger menus and other modern design trends, maybe that's a sign we shouldn't let designers create visual interfaces.



I really dodged a bullet there huh? Since that isn't my idea of a "good" site necessarily. But if your idea of a "good" site is all function and no form, then maybe stick to designing abstract interfaces and not things actual people have to see.


All function and no form is much much better than broken function and broken form which is the modern web 2.0.

Feel free to find a site better than http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/


Why are you even browsing websites that have any design then? Why are you even browsing in anything other than lynx? Please spare me seeing that ideologically boring site again

Like I can barely imagine what your house might look like. Just like a purely functional weathered hovel with the absolutely barest essentials. A perfect prison cell


Web 2.0 design can be fixed so some extent by disabling javascript and sometimes disabling styles.


It's great that you figured out how to do it, congrats. A true computer guy


Don't get me wrong, I like a website to look good. But it shouldn't compromise on speed on functionality.
