Stop Comparing Your Website to Everyone Else's (A Gentle Reminder)
i have to tell myself this all the time. you see these beautiful, smooth websites and you think yours looks so simple. but you know what, those big websites started as a blank page too. everyone did. your website is not a showpiece for other designers to look at. think about it as a helpful guide for one person who needs what you have. is it easy for them to read. can they find your phone number. do they understand you in five seconds. that is what matters. be a friendly, clear voice in the noise. that is better than being pretty and confusing. be kind to your own space online. it is yours.
