I was wondering what was the template behind all these similar designs. Today I learned. I really like that template and I love the idea that one can build a beautiful website with little effort. Why reinventing the wheel?
- Niksko 11y agoI agree with you. It's a pretty, modern looking template that suits a variety of products. Good design is hard, and good designers are expensive. Wouldn't you rather have the default design be a good one, instead of paying shitty designers to make shitty designs and use that as the default look for the web?
- jredwards 11y agoThe last line is: "Honestly this template does look really nice, though."
- taneq 11y agoI'd rather the default design have some actual damn information rather than a few vague feelgood phrases and some unrelated stock photos. Bonus points if they don't make me watch a 5 minute video full of exciting music and artsy slow-mo footage of "cloth sliding off a thing" or "people laughing in a park" and still give me no idea what their stupid product actually does. I know this is a gripe about the content rather than the presentation, but seriously, so many websites based on this kind of template are a total waste of my time and attention.
- ryankupyn 11y agoI agree. For a lot of small companies/side projects I'm not at all annoyed by overuse of bootstrap. I think that it's better to put your energy into making a great and unique product than making a great and unique page to sell your product.
- ignoramous 11y agoI think the gripe is how much little thought goes into HCI and how copy-paste programming leads to better portfolio and job offers. I can't find any fault with that. Recruitment is as much broken as interviewing is...
