People familiar with Bootstrap: “Fuck, another Bootstrap page.”

Everybody else: “Oh, cool! A well designed, functional website.”

Every Fucking Web Design Satire Ever

Totally busted. www.charliepratt.com.

Some people just want a functional responsive website and the likes of bootstrap and foundation make it easy. Don't know what all the hating is about.

Every website doesn't need to be ground breaking. Sometimes it just needs to get an idea across. If that means upsetting a few designers because we forget the internet is for everyone and not just us, so be it.

Honestly this template does look really nice, though.

My fave part is Four Icons!

Does the creator also get annoyed when they hear a song with ABA (verse, chorus, verse) structure? Oh wait, maybe we found a pattern that works really well and people adopt it accordingly.

This website just looks like every other Bootstrap website...

"imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

Optimizing any process will lead to generic results, which maybe good or bad depending on what your point of view is. Look at cars for example, they all look pretty much the same today due to the optimization of the manufacturing process.

Of course you can pay the premium for a super car but why would you?

What an original argument, it's certainly new to me. Joking aside, I'm saddened that someone wasted their time on such a spiteful project when they could have been building something useful.

Great comments on this thread. Looks like the community has finally moved on from this designer-centric obsession that everything must have a totally unique aesthetic.

I saw this link from a tweet yesterday... Coming from a guy who was also making the same point, that BS sites all look the same and are boring. It's true.

But you know what's also true? It has opened up the field and made it a lot easier for amateurs and beginners to develop their own websites without having to learn much of HTML and CSS or pay big bucks to an agency/designer/developer just to get a small product or personal website. Personally, I think that is great.

Also, just like Squarespace or Webflow and others, these tools don't replace a designer's job. I'm sure I don't have to explain why here...

Loool. I don't see why he's so pissed off but this is hilarious though.

You know what else "looks the same" and many business/entities are using nowadays as their main web-presence? Facebook pages. Or wordpress-blog sites hammered to not look like a blog.

It's functional. It's gonna be enough for many.
