The Unbearable Likeness of Design: How to build a unique WordPress site
Why do so many websites look the same? To answer this question, we’ll first look at trends in web design over its short history, and examine how modern tools and practises have contributed to a more homogenous-looking internet. We’ll examine the web design process from two perspectives—the designer’s and the developer’s—and discuss how the blurring of those roles impacts design. Along the way, we’ll discuss the various merits of following or bucking trends. Finally, we’ll offer some constructive advice to help you—whether you’re a designer or not—add an individual touch to your WordPress designs.
Sarah Semark designs and develops themes as a Theme Wrangler at Automattic. A former Montrealer now living in the UK, she has never been any good at sitting still. She’s been to 45+ countries and she starts to get antsy if she hasn’t crossed a border in a month. You can usually find her tapping away anywhere there’s a power outlet—from ramshackle Soviet sleeper trains to a hut in the Amazon. When she’s not busy conquering foreign lands, Sarah likes obsessing over typography, collecting impractical footwear, and drinking glasses of wine the size of her head.
