Simplicity, Abstraction, and the Modern Website: 10 Years Later

Recurring Problems Found in Existing IAC Sites

  • No standardization across sites, or even within sites

  • Too much complexity / functionality / data, resulting in frankensites*

  • Kludged, uneditable landing pages

  • No documentation

  • Cluttered, unorganized backend systems and databases

* - Frankensite: any site built from a glob of disparate pieces and parts with the ill-conceived hope that they'll somehow work together to produce a usable and maintainable site.
