And the disdain for marketing sites continues. I'd argue the thing that's in front of your customer's face isn't "disposable"! When the customer wants to tinker with their account, they might get there from the familiar "marketing site". Or when potential customers and users of your product are weighing up your payment plans, these are not trivial matters! Will you really trust Sloppy Jo's AI in the moment customers are reaching for their credit cards? The 'money shot' of UX. "Disposable"? "Doesn't matter"? Pffff!
- whstl 1y agoI mean... I have been on the receiving end (as the one responsible for "installing it") of websites built by agencies and "disposable" is an ok description. Some of those websites don't really have to be maintained, so they're built without care or documentation, by a team that often has low pay and high-rotation, and then given to a customer with the expectation it will be rebuilt after a few years anyway. I don't think "disposable" is being used here as a pejorative adjective for them. They are important, but they are built in a special way indeed.
