Have you ever noticed how trends in web design often lead us astray? After years of carousels and cookie consent banners, we now see chatbots take center stage. But do they genuinely enhance user experience?
Key Insights:

- Real User Experience: Many users find chatbots annoying, often closing them before engaging.

- Irony of Complexity: Building a lean, efficient site is often more challenging than adding flashy widgets.
As we navigate this cluttered digital landscape, let’s consider what truly adds value for our users.
