a list of all the reasons I believe in websites in 2026
- it's a calling card that you actually own
- creative practice
- technical practice
- marketing practice that's performing in a good way
- strategic unfaithfulness in practice (see strategic disloyalty)
- it's cool af
- signal of seriousness
- time away from algorithms
- being actually PART of the WEB
- you make the rules there
- you can sell stuff there
- you can talk about stuff there you wouldn't dare to talk about on social media
- you don't have to see other people's opinions on there
- no stupid comments
- one hub for all your socials
- you don't have to pick a medium (video, visual AND text as you wish)
- you can make it look however you want
- in control of what you show to people (and in which order, and how)
- no distracting tech and buttons (if you wish so)
- you really feel like you're building something overtime
- to be cool and counterculture
- to be traditional (both can be true)
- to learn things
- to be real in the eyes of the robots crawling the web
- to be referenced easily
- to be easily checked out (especially if your name is your domain name)
- to link to your favorite websites
raaah would have been cool to at least get to 30 but nothing else comes to mind, no matter.
