I always make the "website" / "webapp" distinction. A website would be the landing page to a product, whereas a website would be like the site you posted. To the former i say go nuts, if I'm exploring a product and I land on your landing page, feel free to completely surprise me with web design.
However, if you operate a webapp, Spotfiy, Gmail, Amazon, etc, settle on a "core UI" and don't change it. People don't want creativity in these kinds of sites, rather they want consistency.
I guess it all boils down to, it's all about the time and place.
- theelous3 4y agoI don't like this distinction much. The way you use the term website here is as a descriptor for splash pages nobody cares about beyond their use as a business card. You can see it in the way you're talking about them like "they don't matter - so do whatever you want". And you're right. But I find that unsatisfying. We should be able to have it both ways - interesting aesthetic alongside utility.

The first occurrence of "website" in the second sentence was supposed to be "webapp", right?
