Can a website be beautifully designed and still fail at its purpose?
I've been thinking about this while exploring different approaches to web design.
It's easy to admire a website for its typography, animations, colors, and overall visual experience.
But sometimes I wonder how much of that beauty actually contributes to what the website is meant to achieve.
A visually impressive design might capture attention, but does it always make the experience better?
I find the balance between creativity and usability particularly interesting because the two don't necessarily have to compete.
Curious to hear from fellow designers: Have you ever come across a website that looked incredible but was surprisingly difficult to use?
