Design Notes With Single Illustration:
I stumbled on this site with no clue how I got there. I spent a few days marveling the design, the layout. I like it. Clean. Simple. In part, it looks some of the elements are almost a decade old, sort “web-retro,” in a manner of addressing an issue.
Still, the opening page, despite its header flaws, it’s still a good-looking, to me, way to lay out a page. Very simple. Not extraneous crap.
No bells, whistles, no podcast enclosures, no adverts for dubious sites, and so forth.
I can only hope that regular subscribers have noticed the subtle change. I managed quick change that removes even more advertising and extra (unnecessary) material from the sidebar in the paid-per-view horoscopes. Lots of research, and many development cycles, just to make that work correctly.
Simple is so hard to do.
