Ok, but opposed to what? What does a non-content oriented website look like? Is a website itself not simply content?

Perhaps their tagline should be "we aren't oriented around building single page websites unlike all those other frameworks". I never would have understood that Figma, Photoshop, and Youtube were not content-oriented websites otherwise. "Content" is mostly not a meaningful phrase outside of a context which gives it meaning (i.e. it is a floating signifier).
- azangru 1y agoSure, content is anything a container contains :-) My point was though that when a dictionary definition gives an unsatisfactory reading of a sentence, then perhaps other, indirect methods should be employed to tease the meaning out.
