Breaking the web in 2014

More site owners are offending the web with their effed-up, bloated javascript-heavy constructions.

These ill-conceived content sites do not provide users with a simple and enjoyable reading experience.

The site developers' misuse of modern browser technologies are meant to show off their alleged technical prowess to their like-minded, dorky web offenders.

We might be better off if we designed sites with minimal HTML and minimal responsive design.

Try designing the site without javascript, or test the site with javascript disabled, and ensure the site still works with progressive enhancement.

Limit the use of giant images.

Make every image count. Don't use an image just because it looks cool when it has nothing to do with the rest of the content.

Don't break the back button.

Don't create confusing and unfamiliar click/touch actions on links and navigation.

If you can't control yourself, create a frigging native app instead of blanking up the web.
