I have been a fan of Dustin Curtis for some time. It’s been a while, however, since I visited his website. (He doesn’t publish regularly. Maybe every couple of months or so.) But I try to make a point to every so often and I was not disappointed by my most recent trip, which yielded a two-part series on quotes by accidental presidents.
To put it bluntly, Dustin Curtis knows how to design the fuck out of the written word—online. It’s a beautiful thing to behold.
It’s especially exciting for someone like myself who sees in Curtis’ work a way forward. What if editorial sites slowed down their publishing cycles and paid more attention to design? What if each story was a uniquely designed, self-contained editorial morsel of perfection? Is this sustainable? I think so.
I don’t know Dustin Curtis, otherwise I would ask him directly, but I’m very curious what his traffic is like. Do these stories have peaks? What’s average time spent on each article? I would just love to get my hands on his analytics.
