Website Update

I recently stumbled upon two legendary websites that changed my perspective on web design: motherfuckingwebsite.com and bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com.

Their message is simple: websites don't need to be complicated.

The Problem with Modern Web Design

We've all been there. You visit a website and wait for 13MB of parallax effects, jQuery plugins, and hero images of hipsters drinking coffee to load. The site looks "beautiful" but takes forever to render and barely conveys any actual information.

As the creator of motherfuckingwebsite puts it:

"All the problems we have with websites are ones we create ourselves. Websites aren't broken by default, they are functional, high-performing, and accessible. You break them."

What I Changed

Inspired by these sites, I've stripped things back. This website is now:

• Lightweight - No bloated JavaScript frameworks or unnecessary dependencies
• Fast - Pages load quickly because there's nothing slowing them down
• Readable - Clean typography with proper line-height and sensible line-width
• Responsive - Works on any device without media query gymnastics
• Accessible - Semantic HTML that works for everyone

Less is More

Sometimes the best design decision is to remove things rather than add them. A website's job is to communicate information clearly. Everything else is just noise.

If you're building a website, ask yourself: does this feature help users get the information they need, or am I just adding it because it looks cool?

Keep it simple. Keep it fast.
