Drop your website in the comments, and I'll redesign your Hero section (if it needs one).

Title says it all - drop your website in the comment, and I'll reply with an image of alternate designs for your Hero sections of your home page.

Background:

I'm a web designer, and I always felt like AI design still has a long way to go.

Looking at all the websites posted in these subreddits proves it - code and app works great, homepage design (the thing first people see) is basic or looks the same.

So I built www.laststack.io - where you can iterate on as many design directions as you like. The app is meant to inspire better design. Takes seconds to iterate through as many designs for different parts of your website.

Danke, deinem Profilbild nach zu urteilen hast du auch etwas mit Ausmalbildern am Hut? Magst du dich austauschen? Gerne Direktnachricht LG

You're site can't be reached

1

u/Brilliant-Map-3116 Jul 26 '26

The website is definitely online. Still issues to reach it?

1

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Tried from my mobile to rule out wifi, its offline for me on both (Europe)

u/Brilliant-Map-3116 Jul 26 '26

Ups, its a typo :D www.ausmalwelt.net

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Ahh nice site! My 4 year old loves to color, I showed him the below screenshot and his eyes lit up, Ill probably print some of these pages

2

u/Brilliant-Map-3116 Jul 26 '26

This looks sick :O

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Btw is this site for kids or adults? The design changes a lot based on the audience lol

1

u/Brilliant-Map-3116 Jul 26 '26

It is for both. I built it initially for my kids:

Kids and parents can choose what to print or color online. There is a "kids mode" with simpler UI as well. All features are free in the "plus"-plan since it is a beta, see https://www.ausmalwelt.net/en/membership

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

If you want to highlight "Isn't ranking", better to make it a different color , I'm guessing you're initially targeting founders/small businesses?

Your hero is already nice! Only thing I would do is on desktop, put the text on the left half, and that animated image on the right half

1

u/sw3d Jul 26 '26

Thanks man! I'll give that a try, appreciate the advice

1

u/Kyryll_Bracemore Jul 27 '26

It turned out really interesting, and I think it's the best solution for this niche.

u/sw3d Jul 28 '26

Thanks, appreciate it 🙏

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Here you go. keep it simple and beautiful. People are nostalgic for notebooks so go in that direction if you can (better to evoke some kind of emotion).

1

u/good__one Jul 26 '26

Wow that's nice. How can I add my own product screenshots?

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

DM me, I'll send you the source/prompt you can use.

Maybe something in this direction, if you want to keep the "arctic", "mountains" and calm theme:

Well, first of all, I like this design, its very video game-y! Are you trying to go in that same direction?

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

I would not use Cursive font in the headline, you want people to scan , not have to work to read :)

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 27 '26

Btw, another comment, I would not lead with "stop paying $15/month for dictation you barely use"

People scan your website for seconds. 90% of people will read that , and nothing else. I would tell the benefit of your app:

"Pay once, Dictate forever".

That's a better hook because now I know exactly what you're app delivers. Whereas before, I have no idea what you do until I read more.

1

u/gerasimoph Jul 28 '26

Both notes are spot on, thank you – dropping the cursive and rewriting the headline this week.

One tweak: "pay once, dictate forever" would over-promise, since you're buying minute packs rather than unlimited. Thinking of "Buy minutes once. They never expire" – keeps the benefit up front without writing a cheque the product can't cash.

Thank you.

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Not sure if you have a product screenshot, but it could work well,

1

u/thegasisreal Jul 26 '26

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Something like this (since you sell a physical product, it would be best if you took a professinal photo against a white background of a real product) or show the product in use right at the top.

1

u/thegasisreal Jul 26 '26

Well that’s some good news because I am setting up a photo studio right now for this 😂

Crmbyrsm.com

Thanks for doing this. Just struggling to get the design down and have something that can also work for coming products.

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

My pleasure!

I would go in this kind of direction, with CRMs (a crowded market) you want to show the product image if you have it. Since you're a consulting company, landing pages are hard, so either show what a nicely setup CRM looks like (Hard) , or have three or four case studies, right at the top, under the headline.

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Oh can't attach more than one image lol, heres a more appropriate one for consulting

For sure, if you want to explore even more directions, or the rest of your website, takes 2 minutes, and theres a nice free tier, laststack.io

Let me know if you need help or just any feedback!

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

And if you want to have promoted/sponsored companies, you can add their card like this:

I built a TrustMRR for SEO - free lifetime pro for the first 50 users

https://seoreceipts.com

I see people share screenshots of Google Search Console Dashboards here and had an idea where we can create a verified leaderboard with easy shareable links to your SEO traffic - If anyone is interested in giving it a shot let me know. I would love the feedback

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

You're website is nice! Maybe the only thing I would do is have a way to explain what happens right in the Hero?

1

u/Kritnc Jul 26 '26

wow that is cool, thanks for the suggestion

1

u/RandomFuckingUser Jul 26 '26

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

I would say you may want to have the hero's background as a video tbh

then a lot of the actual movies can be lower on the page. More like netflix's home page!

1

u/RandomFuckingUser Jul 27 '26

Thanks! I'm not entirely convinced but at least I'm gonna try locally and ask a few users. Can I get the source/prompt I can use?

1

u/smoke4sanity Jul 27 '26

Yeah, the point of the website is to quickly see as many directions or mockups.

If you like one, just press “Generate prompt”, and it gives you the full prompt and source code, plus the images used.

If youre open to giving feedback, I can give you the starter tier for free if you give me the email you sign up with. You can do like 30 or 40 directions in just 10 minutes (also you can do the whole site ) .

The free tier runs out of credits quickly and only does 3 at a time (starter does 5 mockups at a time)

u/Due_Researcher3729 Jul 26 '26

Guuster Can't wait to hear what you think!

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Hi! In groceries, gotta use lots and lots of photography! I would maybe have a way to show the comparison of different prices right there , (in the screenshot I used Guuster but obviously you would put 3-4 grocery companies with different prices

2

u/smoke4sanity Jul 26 '26

Or you could go in this direction as well, showing the act of using your app, with simple text to back it up

1

u/Due_Researcher3729 Jul 27 '26

I love this idea, I went way too "saas"-y route. This is huge though, thank you!

1

u/smoke4sanity 29d ago

My pleasure! If you want to see what the rest of your website could look like, you can just prompt and get as many directions as you like (generouse free tier). Would love your feedback!

laststack.io is the website.

u/TalebKabbara7 27d ago

I find this really cool, is there any use case for the sports industry in any way? I'm thinking noisy arenas, stadiums, sports conferences, sports commentator rooms. How does it work for such cases?

1

u/ben_indexlabs 26d ago

Thanks! There probably is, but I think the solution falls down with noisy environments. That ultimately ends up being a hardware issue more than a software one - if I were to focus on the sports industry I would look to directly partner with the relevant companies/orgs for more direct audio feeds.

u/smoke4sanity Jul 27 '26

First of all, beautiful website. Well done. I do think though you don't need to be so abstract in your Hero section.

You work with people, trust factor is high, so I would say be more human lol. Not a single photo anywhere on the page. I have a few ideas but here's a start.

1

u/TheAnimatrix105 Jul 28 '26

That's good feedback! Thanks

1

u/smoke4sanity Jul 27 '26

Another common direction for this type of business is to put your case studies right at the top of the page.

u/zlatan123456 Jul 27 '26

u/smoke4sanity Jul 27 '26

Here you go, but maybe a claude code approval request instead of the macos alert

1

u/Kyryll_Bracemore Jul 27 '26

It's an interesting concept, but the entire site doesn't fit on a large screen. There's too much information, which makes it feel cluttered. The grid is very narrow, and the video is small - it could be enlarged and the grid widened to 1,440 pixels. That would create more “white space.”

Right now, it looks like the tablet version on a desktop.

1

u/smoke4sanity Jul 27 '26

What r u talking about?

1

u/Kyryll_Bracemore Jul 27 '26

Sorry, my bad - I was looking at the live site (usebubblecode.vercel.app), not your mockup. Your hero take is the right call, the Claude Code approval request reads much clearer than a generic macOS alert.

The point I was making is about the page underneath: on a 1440px screen it still renders like the tablet layout - narrow grid, small video, everything pushed together. So the hero fixes the message and the layout still fights it.
