💡 What Makes a Great Website Today?
In 2025, a “great” website isn’t just about looking beautiful. It needs to load fast, adapt to every screen size, convert users, tell a story, and be easy to maintain. A solid site is the intersection of design, development, content, and strategy.
Here are just a few things to think about when creating a website today:
Mobile-first design — Non-negotiable.
Core Web Vitals — If Google doesn’t like your speed, you’re in trouble.
Accessibility — Your design isn’t truly good if not everyone can use it.
Authentic content — No more fluff. Visitors want value fast.
Brand consistency — Fonts, colors, voice, all matter.
