Take the 'hamburger' menu for example. Most sites now use them, and most sites use three horizontal bars to denote that the menu exists on the button. That is the type of similar, standardized behavior that occurs when frameworks are being used. However, standardization makes the site easier to navigate. You could build a pie shaped menu that floats on the bottom right corner of the screen. But... why? Will it make users happy? If this is an ecommerce site, will it drive more sales? No. Take a look at Shopify sites, half of them are modifications of the same template.
I just say that it is not right to make everything standard, it is more right that on each project the design and the most optimal functioning are studied in detail to achieve your goal
Right. But then most web apps are very much the same. Although if you are making something truly novel, I'd agree that more time needs to be put into the design. Standards don't always work for every project - but probably do for most of them.
yes, but two ecommerce sites for example don't necessarily work the same way. I might have to sell smartphones to super-skilled people but on another I have to sell technical fishing clothing, so we have two different targets and we need two completely different user experiences

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Oddly enough, I think that making all our sites look "similar" is better, not worse, for the users.
I don't agree with your point of view, but explain it to me better if you can
