Personal websites have saturated the World Wide Web. Anyone with half a thought in their head can look towards the internet to express their opinions. With the vast amounts of free web hosts, what's to hold anyone back? A "my homepage" search will result in 7 million poorly made webpages with generic GIFs for anyone's viewing pleasure. Many of these sites rarely yield any hits.
What these novice site designers fail to realize is they are not writers. Rather they write like they are talking with a friend. Well written content should flow like a book or novel, not as if they are in the midst of a conversation. So if this is what they enjoy, is it bad?
Yes. With their extremely overused templates and WYSISYG HTML editor ready to go, they contrive a plan to make a personal website. Many used and abused templates have a subliminal reflex to close the window in a blink of an eye.
Businesses also have begun to create pages that really serve no purpose. Although they have the resources, many times they miss the point. Businesses try to sell goods and services to people passing by their sight, who actually have no interest in buying whatsoever. Its just a meager attempt at getting a piece of the pie.
On the other hand, some have great ideas but lack the means to create anything worthwhile. Many times someone starts to build a webpage, but fails to gage just how difficult the task is. This leads to ridiculous sites that are both difficult to navigate and hideous to view. To correct their mistakes, most want to add on and make it more flashy where simplicity is probably the better option.
Although someone may have the best idea in the world, chances are they missed the boat and are jumping into a cesspool of people who had the same idea and already created their site. They will put together what they deem as a masterpiece and are never heard or seen again. Most fail at the planning stage. It is important to always look at the next step and not to give up on the site. This is precisely what most do not do and are left with a failed project. Barriers of entry for creating webpages would benefit all, because they would prohibit people who are not truly ready.
Creating a site is hard work and they have only seen the thin, outer shell of the task. The coding, the testing, the advertising, the writing, and most important of all, the timeless concept. The sheer will to see their project turn into something worthwhile. A website can often take a year before any results are ever attainedand if they cannot get past their grandeur and have the vitality to see it through, the site will remain what it truly is: garbage.
Pictures of their dog. A few rantings. A worthless service. And never have anyone to truly use it. If the conditions to create a proper site cannot be done and the endeavor amount to naught but worthlessly scattered electrons, one should never begin typing the HEAD tag. - 16928
