Websites. We got it all wrong haven't we?

I think that we think of websites as physical 'things', almost as buildings. We then struggle to help our lost, confused 'visitors' navigate around these buildings.

Maybe a better, more helpful mental model, would be to (sometimes) see our websites as a series of interlocking adverts.

This is just my personal view and I'd be interested in learning what you think? Please comment below.

Thanks :)
