Deep dives
The Evolving Nature of Websites
The definition of a website has shifted significantly in the modern digital landscape, particularly as social media and platform-driven content dominate online experiences. Many contemporary websites are minimalistic, often serving merely as digital business cards, lacking depth and purpose beyond aesthetics. This raises questions about the true value and intent behind websites, especially in a time when users are less inclined to explore and engage with them meaningfully. The case of The Verge exemplifies this concern, as its redesign aimed to create a destination for readers and foster a more valuable content creation environment.
