For creatives, I’m sure there’s someone inside screaming at them to be different and avoid building a website that looks and acts like everyone else. From a marketing perspective, though, we’ve educated our visitors over a decade now as to what to expect on a website and how to navigate one effectively.

Responsive design has added to this complexity – ensuring that designers properly size graphics for every viewport and provide interactions that are just a thumb press away! That requires some well thought out pages that are simple to scroll, find what you need, and read and retain it.
