Molly Whitei am so over the web design trend where every piece of text on the page has to animate in
web devs spent years agonizing over time to FCP only to now make people wait for their unnecessary animation to finish before visitors can actually read anything
Philipp Kruse@molly0xfff My theory is still that the proliferation of Wordpress and its commercial theme ecosystem has been a primary driver of this trend. But yeah, it’s gotten pretty ridiculous.
Rhys Jones@sphire @molly0xfff This is definitely what I’m noticing. I’m currently going through the process of evaluating Wordpress as an option for the company I work for and their aging Wordpress site. The majority of themes heavily focus on animating content all over the place, I guess that sells? I know the marketing department loves them. I think I’m just going to give up on Wordpress however and build the site in Astro and use Builder as the CMS. Oh and no animations.
