[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]

Nobody goes by the old mantra of "If it aint broke, don't try to fix it." Yet so many people constantly think they can "improve" something and be more progressive, and they end up making things worse.

Story of the world. Kids always thinking they know everything and "this time" they are going to fix it.

It's how politicians and government keep getting elected rather than fading out entirely. [/quote]
