Interesting. I started noticing how shitty websites got round about 1998. That's when there was a big surge in business taking websites seriously.
Every time I've gone to a web designer about making me a website, they come up with things like 'about me' and they want to focus on trying to get me business.
I don't require a website to get me a business. I don't like business. All I wanted was a pretty website that stopped people from asking me wwhere my website was. I wanted pretty, and, yes, when you clicked links, they had to work.
And, no, I did not want a wordpress site.
