The motherf***ing website, the way all websites used to be

13 May 2025

A long time ago, that is. But the motherf***ing website (hopefully them asterisks slip this post through them filters wherever they may be) is lightweight, responsive, and works.

Websites aren’t broken by default, they are functional, high-performing, and accessible. You break them.

Designed by someone called Barry Smith, the motherf***ing website has been around for over ten years — the Digiday article I linked just then, is dated December 2013. I don’t know how I missed seeing this before.

Needless to say, NSFW on account of strong language.
