What the hell is happening in name of art and design. 2017 is just a joke. It is nothing in compare to 2016. I don't understand what people are clapping for.

2016 is far better in readability, fonts, perfection, menus, icons, minor details, flow and in all other areas.

2017's readability is too much poor. Look at the menus, social icons, sidebar widgets, clickable links and use of space. Where is creativity? Where is the actual design?

Design means presentation... a perfect presentation of something. It does not mean arranging a lot of things one after another. 2016 has presented the simplicity in an extraordinary way.

Just try to read some text of almost 500 words on both the designs... you will understand my point. Read a story on 2016 and then read another on 2017. You will feel the difference.

Even on this site... wptavern.... read the text. This is really smooth and clear. It does not force pressure on eyes and one can read easily for hours. One can read passively without making a lot of efforts.

Open you eyes my friends.
