My Website Is A Shifting House

Have reading so we don’t ask at the end of the semester how to make a real website.

Quotes that stood out:

- “why not have a personal website that works strategically, in parallel to your other activities? How could a website complement what you already do rather than competing or repeating? How can you make it fun or thought-provoking or (insert desired feeling here) for you? How can the process of making and cultivating a website contribute to your approach?”


“A website, or anything interactive, is inherently unfinished. It’s imperfect—maybe sometimes it even has a few bugs. But that’s the beauty of it. Websites are living, temporal spaces. What happens to websites after death, anyway?”


“Today I see so many websites producing communication signals ... but not actually communicating anything valuable. Using templates for web design is easy to do, but is it the best way to communicate your vision? It’s important to remember that a website is both content and structure simultaneously, and that you need the ability to change both in tandem.”
