Generic Webpage

“Your website should be a reflection of yourself.”

Be creative. Pages like this are uninspired and forgettable.


If you’re an artist that often tries to imagine anything in the context of being your canvas for artistic expression – there is absolutely no reason you can’t apply that philosophy to your own website. Yet somehow most websites follow this generic minimal aesthetic. Some would argue this is for ease of use, for it to be intuitive for the end-user experience, and while yes it is extremely easy to navigate a page like this one, it is also even easier to forget about. Frequently we see on social media pages – people getting nostalgic over web-design from yesteryears, and the desire for sites to be creative and personalized again. So this really begs the question: What’s stopping you from making it happen?

Sure, maybe you can feel discouraged by the idea of coding, it’s perfectly understandable. However, learning HTML is one of the easiest languages to learn. Grab a free page editing tool like Brackets, create a new ‘.html’ file, and start messing with it for a few days. You’ll quickly discover that even with basic knowledge of HTML that you can make something that is more unique and you than any of the generic page templates you’ve had before.

You can gain a basic idea of HTML language from this video and also by searching your questions online or even asking A.I. robots about it, don’t rely on the robot to do all your work for you, though. Don’t be lazy.

In summary:
The Internet early on excited people because it felt like they could make a little home space that anybody in the world could visit and explore by the click of a button. Even those large corporations got the idea at the time and applied a ton of style to their sites. These days, people have lost their touch with that idea and treat pages like any other bland everyday object.
