How important is "web design" to you as someone browsing the web?

[Scougar]

I’m losing interest in the design/ui/ux these days, the thing that gets in my way is cookie/analytics prompts.

I feel I judge a site these days before I even get to the site!

Unfortunately down to not wanting to get sued, these things are someone mandatory these days.

The most important factor for me is ease of use rather than looks. As long as I can find what I need your site to provide quickly amd its not frustrating to use thats good enough.

The worst volume control UI in the world

A group of bored developers and designers has decided to start a thread on reddit to figure out who can come up with the worst volume…

All the cookie prompts are very annoying. Who actually asked for them? No-one. They just ruin the experience of surfing the web.

Maybe so but they’re now critical for tracking on Google products like Analytics and are mandatory for using Google’s ad platform.

It’s an industry wide nightmare, Analytics tracks around 40-60% of what it use to because users(rightly or wrongly) can opt out.

It’s just the nature of the beast.

Classic example of bad regulation. They should have mandated limits on data collection and handling instead of polluting the web these prompts. I use an extension to handle them but doesn't work on mobile unfortunately.

It became law, the overhead in having every site having to implement these is silly. It would have been a lot better to mandate that browsers have to handle the summarisation and acceptance of cookies.

The law asked.

I think this depends more on how static your content is. Nothing wrong with the simplicity of Bootstrap but from a site maintenance point of view you might be better with a CMS which you maybe able to use Bootstrap as the theming framework but this would just be prettying up the back end. Some CMS frameworks are headless so the point of using one is for it to be the source of truth for a particular content type or types and it would just provide the admin back end structure including screens / pages. Some also provide an API for the content type(s) you create. Therefore having one source of truth to manage the content but you can build multiple front ends as required, web, mobile etc. If you think you'd want a mobile front end as well it might be worth considering React Native, one framework and codebase that could satisfy web and mobile. You also need to consider audience size and location as to how you implement the database side of things to cope with scaling and data redundancy to cope with failovers.
