[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many bad, impossible to navigate websites still exist in 2025. My kid’s sport website is awful - it is slick, fancy visuals are layered on, but it is difficult to find and engage with the actual content I need. Surely this was not cheap for the company, but it really sucks and off-putting for potential customers.

Why is this, especially when the field is saturated? 
I am a fed and currently do a lot of work in Sharepoint and Tableau dashboarding and always, always keep human-centered design principles front and center. This is not hard. Seems like a lot of companies get sold on slick marketing but don’t really understand what user friendly content entails.

This post is a vent and also a question. Given that so many websites still suck and I am confident I could do better, is this something I could maybe segue into moonlighting and eventually do full time?[/quote]

It's Google pollution.  They are in most cases intentionally gaming the pages to make users click more so they have to see more ads.  Google is evil.  I mean there are some genuine websites that are just poorly designed, but in many cases it's frustrating by design.[/quote]
