The Miracles of Modern Technology

So this weekend's advice is a pretty easy thing to do.

Google "modern website design" (I already did it for you Here you lazy bastards) and you will see what you have missed in the last 15 years. If your website has shown up on this blog, or fear it will, you might want to study these findings. 

Due to mobile devices dominating the landscape in the last 5 years, website design has moved to a more minimalist aesthetic. Also with the leaps and bounds internet speeds have made, you can now have FULL images as backgrounds. It's no longer the land of dial-up or having your website come in under 30kb.

I have bashed templates on here, and for good reason, but with the rise of Wordpress as the soccor mom minivan of the website world most templates you will find on that platform reflect current web design trends. Does that mean if you know nothing about design you should tackle it yourself? HELL NO! It just means if you decide to do it your website will at the very least look better than what we have seen lo these past two weeks.
