Let me ask everyone a question. What do you hope to accomplish when someone lands on your webpage? And, in what ways has this changed since the early days of the internet?
Hans_Glib you mentioned experimentation, and I agree we are free to experiment. But only to the extent that in the client's mind, there is already an expectation the 'standard' site will include the cookie cutter formulaic bullshit that kills creativity. Does every site NEED all these indispensables that we assume are a given?
Example: what if a landscaping company had a website that only consisted of a 3D virtual tour of a huge, nice looking flowerbed/rose garden with the ability to zoom in all the way to the insides of the bark and stuff. The company would scoff, but who's wrong? After all, if you reveal EVERYTHING about your company online, where is the incentive for the customers to show up in person? They're killing their own business.
