I’ve suddenly started getting marketing texts and emails asking if I’m interested in web design services.

First, I am a designer and developer. Maybe my site isn’t the best design, but it’s my playbox and I am working on another design already since I wasn’t entirely happy with this one

Second, do not text someone without getting their permission to market to them through text. Everytime I get an unsolicited text, I block and mark as spam. That will seriously start looking bad for your company when multiple people do this.

Now for something lighter, I saw an article on Medium talking about why so many sites look the same. They had a link in that article to a site called Web Design Museum, with samples of designs from 1991 through 2006. Some of the ones from the early 2000’s look similar to the ones we designed when I worked for a web host in Branson, MO. It was kinda cool to look at all the changes.

So may numbers to block. I’ve gotten 3 spam calls today and it’s only 10 am.
