Hi all,

I’m excited, and a little nervous sharing this with you all. I’m a developer building a website where you can make recipe cards. I’ve gotten some great feedback on my initial design (first 4 photos), but something was missing, so I reached out to a graphic designer and he came up with a mockup that’s now live (last 6 photos).

What are your initial impressions of the change? Is it more inviting, more clear, more polished than my first design?

No AI was used in the design, this is all human-made and refined.

I spent time to try something interesting and I build this using Cue

To keep things simple:

CONTEXT

I work as a contract project manager for a national brand focused on accelerating their growth AKA building brand image.

I have been learning web design principles the last few months and ultimately want to leverage my sales and PM skills while outsourcing web designers.

The business’ website revamp was paused bc main developer is occupied creating the software I implemented- and frankly I dont think he has the design eye to create a national brand website.

Here comes the opportunity…

ADVICE

How should I approach my Head of IT and Marketing, both whom I work and report to?

I know I’ll have to find a pretty darn good web designer and learn the process quick but are there any other blindspots I should be aware of? I may be in over my head but keen to make things happen.

The last 20+ new websites I’ve run into all look nearly identical in terms of layout, font choices, and general structure. There's at least recurring aspects.

Full disclosure: I’m a science major with zero background in web design. I used ChatGPT to mock up a homepage concept recently (html/python), the output defaulted pretty similar to this exact visual style. I honestly really like the aesthetic, but I worry that as AI-generated sites flood the web, this specific design language is going to immediately scream low-effort or automated "slop."

Anyone else noticing this convergence or is it just the natural lifecycle of design trends?

(Note: The examples posted are just to show the layout/design style—please keep discussion focused on the UI/UX rather than the politics of the site.)

the best website i ever made

I have 10 years working experience as a web designer. I have a little experience developing websites using Elementor, Webflow, and Framer.

Due to AI, although I created series of case studies of most of my live website designs, it is still very hard for me to look for a job. It is september now and I am starting to think of giving up.

I plan to study CRO minidegree in CXL or just free certificate but I am not sure if it will be credible because I don’t have real work experience with metric results of the websites I created before.

Do you think my plan is still good and will have opportunities in the future? Or should I just give up now?

Built another tool as part of my design minis collection tools. it's a glass shatter tool with different sliders to control the position, randomness, lighting, etc: designminis.com/tools/shatter

just finished developing this site for a local cafe... what do yall think

thatpixel.art

I would love some feedback on it, pleeeeease.

Basically, ThatPixel.art is a platform I made for artists. The idea is that each artist gets their own pixel on a huge pixel grid, and that pixel links to their profile where they can put all their important links to portfolio, Instagram, Behance, LinkedIn, Patreon, website, etc.

I wanted to make something that feels more like a creative community than just another portfolio site. You can discover artists by exploring the grid, and artists get their own little space on it.

There’s also a free option, so you can create a profile and add your links without having to pay.

Hey everyone,
Given the devastating flood crisis across Nepal, I wanted to use whatever digital space and traffic I have to help amplify emergency relief efforts.
I've integrated a dedicated popup modal directly onto my portfolio that connects visitors to the official Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund (PMDRF).

My portfolio: https://aditya-gupta.com.np/

What the modal includes:

• Direct Official QR: Supports Fonepay, UPI, Alipay, UnionPay, and Rastriya Banijya Bank direct transfers for immediate, verified contributions.
• Official Portal Link: Direct access to pmdrf.nchl.com.np.
• Download/Open PDF: Quick access to save or view the full payment details offline.
• Non-intrusive UI: Clean backdrop with a clear dismiss option to maintain smooth user navigation.

A quick request to developers & creators everywhere:
Whether you are based in Nepal or anywhere else around the world, if you run a portfolio, personal blog, SaaS product, or community website, please consider adding a similar banner or modal to your platform.
Our combined web traffic can reach international donors, diaspora communities, and supporters who want a direct, verified way to help rescue and rehabilitation efforts on the ground. Every bit of visibility matters right now.
Stay safe, and thank you to everyone helping out!

Hello everyone,

Have you ever found clients from reddit?

Greetings!

my website is jeeplanner : https://www.jeeplanner.in/ , i was 17m building brand around indian edu tech , i recently updated site at 8.5k active visitors and 50k page views , so i was here to get suggestions from frontend devs who are experienced suggest me few other things i may not know , thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I’m currently reviewing the web design workflow at the agency I work for, and I’m curious how other agencies and designers approach the transition from design to development.

One of the challenges we’re looking at is design coverage.

For example, a website might contain 10–15 pages, while only a few key pages are fully designed in Figma. Development then has to build the remaining pages based on those designs, existing components and their own judgement.

This can work, but it can also create a gap: developers sometimes have to make UX/UI decisions that were never actually designed or approved. As a result, a client may see certain page layouts or sections for the first time when the developed website is presented.

So I’d love to understand how other agencies handle this.

A few things I’m particularly curious about:

• Do you create a sitemap before deciding the design scope, and do you use it to identify unique page types/templates?
• Do you wireframe every project, only larger/complex projects, or skip wireframes altogether?
• How much content do you require before wireframing/design starts? Do you work with final copy, rough content, realistic placeholders or Lorem Ipsum?
• If a client only has a logo, colors and fonts, do you establish a digital visual direction first, or do you solve that while designing the first page?
• Do you fully design every unique page type, or only key pages and let development compose the rest from components?
• If you work component-based, where do you draw the line between a developer assembling a page and effectively designing a page?
• How much responsive design do you provide? Every page, key pages, or just responsive rules/components?
• Does the designer review the developed website before it is presented to the client?
• Roughly how much of your website project budget/time is typically allocated to UX/UI design versus development?

And a practical scenario:

You have 24 hours of total design budget for a corporate website of roughly 10–15 pages.

The 24 hours need to include things like:

• kick-off / briefing
• design work
• client presentation(s)
• feedback/revisions
• handoff to another developer

The client has a basic brand identity (logo, colors, typography), but not a fully developed digital design system. Content is only partially available, and you will not be developing the website yourself.

How would you spend those 24 hours?

Would you prioritize sitemap/IA, wireframes, a few fully designed key pages, reusable components, responsive designs, or something else?

And perhaps most importantly: what would you deliberately NOT do within those 24 hours?

I’m not necessarily looking for a single “best practice.” I’m mainly interested in how different agencies make these trade-offs in real projects, especially when design budgets are limited.

Would love to hear what your actual workflow looks like.

I'm looking for beta testers for a brand-new web design tool. The app is a graphical user interface for HTML/CSS/JS and a CMS, with a proprietary agent harness purpose-built for web design. The app lives locally on your computer, stores your files in Git, and offers one-click publish to Vercel.

Requirements
- Local Mac App (M series, not Intel)
- Already working freelance or at an agency with clients
- Email account

Just comment if you're interested, and I will DM you.

Feel free to suggest anything for we'll take it as improvement, and criticize as much as you can :))

the website is https://seo.constantlabs.ai/
I also have it on constantlabs.ai but i like the golden style more :)

the tool: https://dithering-shader-astrobubu.vercel.app/

So I'm building a tool that's a hybrid between Pinterest and Mobbin, which allows designers to save inspiration

For a tool like this, what quick-edit options should appear when you hit "Save"?

I looked at Raindrop and mymind, and the recording shows what they do

Which one looks better?

Personally, I like how mymind handles this. Sometimes I don't want to be bothered with editing. I want to click and save then move on, but if I want to, I can hover over to freeze and edit it. It's a brilliant design

What would you like to edit right away? note? tags? or something else

I noticed that every time someone wants to make a online portfolio, they have to spend hours setting up layouts, fixing mobile responsiveness, or paying for expensive website builders.

I wanted a solution where a user just puts in their details and their profile gets ready instantly without any design headache. So I built a platform called Viabio.

The idea is very simple: you just fill in your bio, your work details, and links. The platform automatically formats everything into a clean, professional portfolio website in less than 2 minutes. No dragging boxes, no coding, and no layout stress.

It is completely free to use. If anyone is struggling to create their portfolio or wants a quick setup, please check it out. You can just search "Viabio" on Google and it will show up on top.

I would love to know your thoughts on this. Let me know if you have any feedback!

Hey everyone! I just published my website https://www.soul-sailor.de/ and would love to get your honest feedback and constructive critique. What I’d specifically like feedback on:

1. First Impression: Is it clear within 5 seconds what the site offers?
2. How does the design, typography, and color scheme feel to you?
3. Mobile Responsiveness: How does it render on your mobile device?
4. Content & Copy: Is the messaging clear and engaging?
5. Do you feel the urge to get started, and if not, what exactly is missing? Feel free to be completely honest – constructive criticism is very welcome! Thanks for your time.

I used Lovable to create a very basic landing page for my skip tracing app that just describes what I do, with a single free address lookup option that directs the user to sign up.
I'm running two small ad campaigns using facebook ads and google ads. I find that people who visit the landing page just bounce without doing anything, not even scrolling.
I would love some candid feedback on what I'm doing wrong.

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe in den vergangenen Monaten sehr viel Zeit in den Aufbau von ParkeSicher.de investiert. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Vergleichs- und Buchungsportal für Valet- und Shuttle-Parkplätze an Flughäfen.

Ich komme ursprünglich aus dem Bereich Webdesign und UX/UI und habe den Großteil des Projekts selbst geplant und umgesetzt. Mithilfe von KI konnte ich außerdem viele Teile des Backends und verschiedene Automatisierungen effizient realisieren, obwohl Backend-Entwicklung eigentlich nicht mein Schwerpunkt ist.

Nach mehreren Monaten Arbeit am eigenen Projekt wird man allerdings irgendwann betriebsblind. Deshalb würde ich mich über ehrliches und gerne auch kritisches Feedback freuen.

Mich würde besonders interessieren:

• Versteht man auf den ersten Blick, was die Plattform anbietet?

• Wirkt die Webseite seriös und vertrauenswürdig?

• Ist die Suche beziehungsweise der Buchungsprozess verständlich?

• Gibt es Stellen, an denen ihr abbrechen oder unsicher werden würdet?

• Was würdet ihr beim Design, bei den Texten oder bei der Benutzerführung verändern?

• Funktioniert die mobile Darstellung für euch gut?

Ich möchte konkrete Schwachstellen finden und das Projekt weiter verbessern.

Hier ist die Webseite: https://www.parkesicher.de

Vielen Dank an jeden, der sich ein paar Minuten Zeit nimmt. Ihr dürft die Seite gerne komplett auseinandernehmen konstruktive Kritik hilft mir deutlich mehr als ein einfaches „sieht gut aus“.

I took some inspiration from Apple’s environmental/sustainability pages and tried applying similar design principles to a sustainable product website.

I’m aware there’s currently too much white space, and that’s something I’m working on. But I’d like some honest feedback on the design as a whole.

Does the visual hierarchy work? Does the site feel cohesive and premium? Is there anything that feels unnecessary, empty, or poorly balanced?

Would appreciate some critical feedback on what you’d improve.
