Everything that doesn't make you happy (or is very useful) must be thrown away.

Dear customer, disregarding the bullshit your agency has dumped into Figma, I hereby deliver a clean, minimalist, and usable website without carousel sliders, chatbots, call-to-action teasers for newsletter signup, and muted auto-play videos consuming your end users' bandwidth.

One day you will understand and be grateful, too!

Me too! At least I have one customer, a sustainability consultant, who asked me to remove a background video from her website, after looking at websitecarbon and lighthouse performance audits.

I wish we lived in this world.

But we don't. Here's a Lighthouse audit of konmari.com:
