It's actually not that hard, because the web is mature, and there are some conventions you must follow so users know how to use your site.
Start with a framework like bootstrap (general websites) or AdminLTE (backend panel type sites) or whatever your prefered frontend libary is. Look at all the example pages and components the framework gives you. Think about which components you need for your system, and how you want to present and interact with the information.
There are some bootstrap visual builders out there, so you can experiment and try different layouts and ideas to give you a feel for layouts, sizes, propotions before you commit and code a layout.
Then think about the general structure of the website, and what the user knows and expects from other sites. Look at other sites with a similar topic, then think about what you like and dislike about this site, and how you would make it better. Go with a common, basic and understood structure and navigation, which in most modern sites is generally:
-> Homepage (latest/interessting stuff)
-> Index/Category (all items of the same topic, all posts in a blog category, all products in the category "phone" etc.)
-> Detail page (a single blog post with it's comments, a single product with all its pictures and properties etc.)
Design as simple as possible. Make sure the user can accomplish your business goal (ordering a product, fill out a contact form, ...) with as little input, clicks and efford as possible. Make sure your business goal can be reached from everywhere on your site by placing a big link in the main menu that is always visible.
You can also throw your ideas into chatGPT and ask it to design a bootstrap portfolio template for your personal blog, and then build and expand on that.
Are they really? Usenet is from the 70s and build for text posts, which take less than 1kb of storage per Post. Modern Sites allow you to upload gigabytes of data for a few dollars per month. The cost for storage and traffic gas come down a lot
The sheer number of videos taken "the wrong way round" (for my computer's monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?
It might be different once the API is finally switched off and the 3rd party apps stop working. Most of traffic comes from mobile, and the official app is crap and only optimized for ad revenue.
Reddit with ads is not much different from Facebook or TikTok for people who can read.
How do you handle UX Design?
How do you handle design when working a project that doesn’t have explicit design guidelines?...
Can usenet be used for free?
Are there ways to use usenet without a payment/subscription?
Why are so many YouTube videos portrait rather than landscape now?
