Blok by Blok Podcast - Episode 6: Too Much
Modern websites were supposed to make life easier.
Instead, many organizations find themselves buried beneath layers of plugins, integrations, dashboards, settings, widgets, automations, and features they rarely use.
This one explores how the internet became obsessed with adding more, more functionality, more tools, more options, while often making websites harder to manage, harder to update, and harder to understand.
This episode examines:
feature overload
website complexity
bloated digital systems
usability vs. functionality
why organizations stop updating their websites
how complexity creates friction and kills momentum
why simplicity may be the biggest competitive advantage moving forward
Because sometimes the biggest obstacle to growth isn't what your website is missing.
It's everything that's been added to it.
The goal isn't less capability.
The goal is removing everything unnecessary so organizations can focus on what actually matters: their mission, their customers, their donors, and their growth.
Listen now and discover why complexity isn't a feature.
