What if we used websites for other things? Like presentations, documents, reports, one-pagers, proposals?
It actually makes a lot of sense. Word, PowerPoint, Canva — they all rely on a white rectangle where you drop in text, images, and shapes, surrounded by constraints designed to keep things simple. Websites, on the other hand, aren't limited like that. They're flexible. They're powerful.
Interesting concept, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't be better to just use pages for everything...
Well here's a personal story about this... I recently moved my course syllabus to online only. It just exists as a page on my course website.
Then I ran into some problems because for certain administrative reasons, I needed PDF copies of my syllabus, including old syllabi from previous semesters which had already been overwritten on the website.
Good thing I keep version history on Github so I could revert to an older semester's version and print the site as PDF, but if I hadn't maintained versioning it would've been annoying.

running things off pages is so clean.
pdfs, on the other hand, are the work of the devil.
