#22Back in the day there use to be a joke website called "every fucking bootstrap site" [1] where it would lambast the popular design zeitgeist of the time. I really wish websites would opt for more distinctive looks rather than the massive homogenization we see across the web. Everything looks the same when it doesn't have to. Things can be stylized while accounting for accessibility and usability. I don't know what to…
its called having intuitive ux. dont make users think. user settings and notifications go in the top right, logo and home page link in the top left. if you dont do this, you've screwed yourself in a way you may or may not ever quantify.
i agree it can get boring to see bootstrap everywhere, i also agree with "why bother having designers". but at the end of the day, i want my users productive and not thinking.

#23What is used to build this site? some SSG, or SSR, or SPA, or a CMS like wordpress? check its html source showed jquery 3.5.1 and bootstrap 4.
Also liked this newly updated page: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/ and it's using jquery1.x still.
now I start to wonder all those new SSG|SSR trend along with SPA, maybe bootstrap + jquery combination is good enough?

I disagree with this specifically for the W3C on everything _except_ the illustration on the front, which I have dubbed "big pants people." That's an unnecessarily homogenous design trend, but everything else is homogenous for the purposes of readability and accessibility, which is very inline with the W3C.

#27If the designer is reading this thread. My fellow human, please swap out the corporate memphis landing page image with something that's less overused in web design today.
For people who don’t know, Corporate Memphis (aka Alegria, Homoglobo) is a style of illustrations that features extrahuman attributes, such as non proportional bodies and non-existing skin colors. It has been credited to Facebook, and was explicitly made to be modular (as in designers are replaceable).
Obviously beauty is subjective, but to me this style has strong connotations of cynical corporations, eerie feelings of minimalist facelessness, toxic positivity and an anxious alignment with current political winds, clear enough to minimize scrutiny but vague enough to be entirely unactionable. The mood words are growth hacking and user engagement.

Not only that, there's also the Islamic/Hadith ban of depicting any person, making this a particular bad idea (if the reduction to role models in a corporate memphis style graphic isn't dehumanizing enough in itself).

I think certain fads are a little dreadful in terms of unoriginality - those humaaans illustrations, for example. But I think most of the web really should look similar. I think of brochure websites like resumes: you're trying to depict key points without distractions and obstacles. Just like that one person's "unique" resume is actually the last one you want to read, so is that unnecessarily "original" website.
