Personal websites in this day are a dime a dozen. Many self-proclaimed web designers with little more than the wink of an idea in their head and the fancy for a poorly thought out personal site leap towards the world wide web to vent whatever they may. And why not, with the myriad of free web hosts on the web to start them up? An online search for "my homepage" yields over seven million puce-ridden pages with animated GIF's gingerly sprinkled. And rarely do they see more than a few hundred hits in their lifetime.
Why? They aren't writers. They don't realize the sheer stagnation of their writing. Quality writing is not written as conversation, but as a book. But it's how they talk to their friends and they seem to enjoy it, don't they? It can't be all that bad, right?
Yes. With their extremely overused templates and WYSISYG HTML editor ready to go, they contrive a plan to make a personal website. Many used and abused templates have a subliminal reflex to close the window in a blink of an eye.
In addition, businesses create sites that serve no purpose. Although they have the resources, they haven't the direction. They make weak attempts to sale product to those accidentally stumbling by and are really only trying to get a piece of the already thin cake. Most people that visit these sites are uninterested to begin with.
Then those that have the point, but lack the resources. Web design is hard work, especially in a largely information driven society. A poor choice here or there and the site is painful to use. Navigation is awkward. The color scheme burns fatigue into their eyes in minutes as they try to make things flashier and flashier and miss the simplicity that a site should have.
And what happens to those who happen to have a good idea for a service or legitimately interesting topic? They leap before looking in the sea of billions of pages of those with the same idea. They make their great masterpiece and are never heard from again. What went wrong? Planning. They never thought of what they would do next or simply gave up, not having the true will to ever see the task to completion. Annoying as they may be to entrepreneurs, barriers to entry are a good thing. They keep out those who are not truly ready.
Creating a site is hard work and they have only seen the thin, outer shell of the task. The coding, the testing, the advertising, the writing, and most important of all, the timeless concept. The sheer will to see their project turn into something worthwhile. A website can often take a year before any results are ever attainedand if they cannot get past their grandeur and have the vitality to see it through, the site will remain what it truly is: garbage.
They begin to create the site, give up and are left with random pictures of their pet, a few voiced opinions, or a service that will never be utilized. If the proper conditions and planning are not there to create a good website, people should not try in the first place.
