Bitcoin Websites...is it just me...

[Evolvex]

It is just me that thinks that most of the bitcoin related websites look like they were all done by the same designers - the overall feel of a lot of them is very similar...

why is that?

maybe that they all are using bootstrap?

Coz most of them r made by tech-geeks without artistic design skills.

ha ha, Yes they look just like that - I've never heard of bootstrap (there goes another hour tinkering around).

Well thats that one answered (I was beginning to get paranoid it was a conspiracy)

All graphic designers know they can't program. But most programmers don't know they can't design. I will say though that Bitcoin websites have slowly been getting better. The average design today is significantly better than a year ago. Some day, all this stuff might start looking professional!

Nailed it.  I have done web development consulting for 15 years and this is wisdom.  It takes time to learn how to get designers and developers on the same page talking a mutual technical language.    I usually get in the middle and translate

You got that right. It definitely takes a translator for those 2 specimens to communicate most of the time...
