 @molly0xfff It's like: “Our website is not clean and simple enough! We need to add more stuff to it until it is” @molly0xfff It’s like they want to demo what the current hype framework is able to do / what _they_ are able to do, without really asking themselves if it’s right to do it. UX people seems to have been crunched by UI people.   @molly0xfff webpage now has become over engineered that everything has to has a 1.000 of Js and CSS to read fricking texts. That's why browser is getting heavier and bigger on each version because webpage is now an operating system @molly0xfff reminds me of what people do when they first learn that PowerPoint has animations @molly0xfff Most web designs SUCK !! Hard to find info, lacking important info. like CONTACT information and other vital info. UP FRONT !!!  @molly0xfff I'm currently in a website rebuild project and we have a 3rd party designer doing all the design (because my university only employs print designers - in 2024) and I fully expect to have to fight this tooth-and-nail. @molly0xfff Me too. I wonder if I could CSS them all out of my life with a browser extension like Stylus. 🤔 @molly0xfff @lisamelton @molly0xfff And yet... I'll take this new "animate everything" trend over the "light gray on white" super-low contrast text trend. @molly0xfff The product conversation probably went something like this: Designers/Developers: Which sections do you think we should emphasize with animation? Stakeholder/Client: Yes. At work, we've had clients leave because competitors offer "better" design, and by better, they mean it looks like Michael Bay directed the million animations running on the site. |
@molly0xfff it's frustrating too because the same people tag themselves as "ux experts" or something like that too lmao
