Not even close. We're missing at least 27MB of carousel images, an entire mp4 on loop, a 4k 4000x4000 png being displayed at 320x320 and few MB of analytics.
You mean 50MB of analytics. Per minute.

#62HEY LOOK, IT'S EVERY SUPERMARKET EVER. Huge automatic glass doors, shopping carts, aisles with stuff on shelves. So fucking creative.
this is a good analogy, in that some supermarkets feel soulless, whereas others feel really cozy, even though ultimately they both have aisles with stuff on shelves. it's like the difference between someone using a template versus making something by hand. there's a human feel to the latter.
I think you both have a good point. I guess it depends on what your relationship you have with food. Do you prefer your shopping experience to be predictable and efficient or do you like to discover something new and exciting.
Realistically, most people who browse the web don't care too much about website design and just want something reasonably functional that's not too ugly.

This is a good point, but it doesn't invalidate the premise. The first sites to use bootstrap and this particular brochure template truly stood out. And today, with everyone using it, it still works okay, well enough to be a bona fide standard, but it of course doesn't work nearly as well as it did for those early adopters.
What I'm saying is, the next big thing, for marketing in particular, may very well be derided in this same "Hey look..." manner after it takes off in popularity, but the pioneers of that next big thing are going to reap serious profits.

#64They forgot the "Testimonials" from fake customers.

#65It's missing the stock photo of manly man with a big beard, plaid shirt and some tasteful tattoos infront of a exposed brick wall with some Edison bulbs for lighting.

#66I don’t every site need to be a special little flower.
Many sites are just transactions. I’m there to get some info.
If it looks like other sites, fine by me. I know what to do.
More often than not I’m annoyed by special sites where i just want some info.

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
Supermarkets really need to get with the times. I mean, barcodes? Please. It's like they're not even trying.
Seriously . We're soooo over 1-d barcodes. Need to get a QR code on all that stuff. MMmmmmm.... Fiducial markers - that's hot
They usually use 2D barcodes for weighed items at the deli.

brb patenting higher dimensional barcodes / tensor barcodes
Finally, we can use holograms for something mundane!

#69The same dev probably complains about the iOS apps with weird custom controls that don't follow the guide.
Consistency is a good thing, whether it's on a phone or on the web.
