I think of websites as pillow. It has a lot of stuff filled inside. But the pillow is able to change based on your needs. Pillows with different materials can provide different user experience. It should not be filled too full or you won’t feel comfortable sleeping on it. Also, it should not be too loose since it will be harmful to your cervical.

I like the point he mentioned about the website will be dead if you just make it an archive of your completed work. A personal website shows part of a person’s identity, it should be a representation of what you want to do and what you’re doing instead of a boring collection of work.
