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.
What they fail to realize is the pure stagnation of their material. It is obvious they are not writers and most are written in very informal formats. Many times it looks like a conversation amongst friends as opposed to a well thought out, written book. However, is this wrong?
Wrong. Their adorable overused template and WYSISYG HTML editor in hand, they set out to make their own site. The barrier to entry is nonexistent. Templates so often used many have a subliminal reflex to close the window on sight.
Businesses creating a page that serves the whooping purpose of absolutely nothing. They have the resources but not the point. They have no idea what they're doing there, and just want a piece of the cake. Shilling of their products to those stumbling by who would never be interested.
However, some actually do have great ideas, but do not have the resources build. In such a large information gathering and driven age, web design can be a difficult task. With a few design flaws, a site can be very user unfriendly. Many create webpages that are difficult to navigate and put together color schemes that are hard on the eyes. To overcome this, they tend to make the site flashier where simplicity was probably the answer.
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.
Many webpage designing beginners only see the outer part of the task at hand. They fail to see what exactly is involved such as writing, coding, generating advertising, coming up with a good concept and having the will to see the project come to fruition. Sites may take a very long time to complete and if people quit, we are left with just a bunch of random, wasted space on the Internet.
There are thousands of webpages out there with just random pet pictures, staunchly expressed opinions, and worthless services. This can be credited to people not following through on their web building projects. If someone is not up for this daunting task, then they should never start to begin with.
