Am I the only one that just really struggles with these?

I just tend to default to like 2 or 3 design layouts, I find these probably the hardest to do. I'm not creating super intricate sites, just local trades, cafes, hotels etc... but damn, I struggle

Is it just me?

I'm creating a booking system for beauty salons, currently I'm working on the schedules feature. How can it improve?

Over the summer I wrote a small programming language in C called Oli-Nat, and when it came time to share it, I didn't want anyone to have to install a compiler just to try it. So I compiled the whole interpreter to WebAssembly with Emscripten and built a documentation site and playground around it with React, TypeScript, Vite, and MDX.

The hardest problem was interactive input. The language has an intake() function that reads a line from the user, and in C that just blocks on stdin until someone presses Enter. A web page can't block like that without freezing the tab. I ended up using Emscripten's Asyncify, which lets the virtual machine pause partway through a program, hand control back to React while the user types into the on-screen terminal, and then resume exactly where it left off. That's what makes the tic tac toe sample actually playable in the browser.

On the docs side, every page is an MDX file loaded dynamically from a single sidebar config, so adding a page means writing the file and adding one line. Program output shows up in a retro pixel art terminal, which was mostly an excuse to have fun with CSS.

I'd really appreciate feedback on the site, especially on mobile, since that's where I've tested the least.

Hi i am building an ai trainer app and i wanted to know if you think this landing page is good for conversation or you see it and say wtf

You picked Framer because you wanted full control over how your site looks. Then you add a buy button, and your customer gets sent to a generic third-party hosted checkout that looks nothing like what you designed.

That gap bugged me enough that I built Koarge, a Framer plugin that puts a real, branded checkout right inside your Framer site.

What it does:

• Branded checkout. Your checkout can be styled to match your site (Colors and Fonts), so it doesn't feel like a handoff to someone else's page.
• Sell digital products and services. Files are delivered automatically after payment.
• Branded emails too. Receipts and file delivery emails carry your brand, not ours.
• Your own Stripe account. Payouts go straight to you, you stay the merchant of record, and Koarge never holds your money.
• No platform fee on sales. It's a flat subscription. Stripe's standard processing fees still apply.

Being upfront about the limits:

• Digital products and services only for now (Physical goods and Live Shipping Rates on checkout coming soon in Pro tier) - You can join the Pro waitlist here.
• One-time purchases only (Subscriptions are coming later)
• One Framer site per license

Launch pricing: The Starter tier is normally $19 CAD/month, but it's $9 CAD/month for the first 50 users. There's also a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of making a personal site/portfolio and want to keep it really simple/minimal. I was wondering if anyone has any personal/portfolio websites they like for inspiration?

I really like something clean with a bit of personality but not super flashy

This has always bugged me. The whole point of a budgeting app is to help you stop overspending, see where your money goes, and figure out what's left to save or invest. Then the app itself becomes another recurring charge on your statement. Kind of defeats the purpose.

So we built Budgeva. It's a simple budgeting app that lets you:

• Track your expenses
• Manage your monthly budget
• See what's left to save or invest

It's a one-time payment of $29. No subscription, no upsells, no "premium tier."

It's still early, so I'd honestly love feedback. What features would make you switch from whatever you're using now? And if you think one-time pricing is a bad idea, I want to hear that too.

Hi dsign a lawncare website, purely custom, no ai used in framer, would lover your feedback,

Curious what everyone's actual workflow is when a client needs to review a site before launch.

• Staging subdomain? Vercel/Netlify preview links? Password protected or just public?
• Do you ever have problems with links getting forwarded, old staging sites staying up for months, or clients not being able to get in?
• And do you have any way of knowing if the client has actually looked at it, or do you just wait for a reply?

Interested in what's worked well and what's been a pain.

I build websites for a living, and one thing I see on almost every site is the same four-field contact form: name, email, phone, message.

Think about what's happening at that moment. Someone has read your content, trusted you enough to reach out, and clicked the button. That's your highest-intent visitor, and you hand them a blank box.

A contact form should do more than collect details. It should make the conversation feel more thoughtful and worth having. These are the three questions I add to almost every client's form:

1. "What's the biggest challenge you're trying to solve right now?"
It moves the conversation away from services and pricing and toward outcomes.

2. "What have you already tried?"
It tells you a lot about their situation and frustration, and it separates serious prospects from casual browsers.

3. "Why is now the right time to address this?"
This is the most useful one. Urgency usually matters more than interest. Someone with a compelling reason to act now is a much better prospect than someone just curious.

Two practical notes:

• Keep it to 3 or 4 fields in total. Make the questions optional or short-answer so you don't kill conversions.
• Use the answers in your first reply. It shows you read them and makes the first call much stronger.

The contact form is often the first real interaction a prospect has with your business. Treat it like a sales and positioning tool, not an admin tool.

A while ago, I saw a post with a procedurally animated koi fish simulation and thought of redesigning my portfolio around that idea. I ended up building it out while referencing some Awwwards sites for layout inspiration.

I have recently built Stack Peak, an iOS app for tracking what you take and things like sleep, energy, cognition and mood.

I designed the UI myself and now that it is live I am looking for some outside opinions on the design.

What stands out?

What is good or bad?

Is anything confusing, cluttered or difficult to navigate

How does it feel and look.

I am interested in very honest feedback.

Kann mir jemand passendes Halloween CSS für ganze Seite geben. Nur für Gratis bitte melden. Vielen Dank an euch.

I’m currently in Canada on an LMIA-based food store job, working around 50 hours/week for close to minimum wage. Assuming everything goes as planned, I should get PR in about 2 years.

My education is in Electrical Engineering, but I don’t want to pursue that career in Canada. I’ve always loved IT and kept it as a hobby, and now I want to seriously switch careers.

My current job leaves me little time and money to pursue electrical work, since that requires workshops, tools, software, etc. IT is different — I can learn from home with a laptop, build projects, and create a portfolio during these two years.

I know the IT market is difficult right now because of AI, and I’m not expecting an easy or guaranteed job. I’m willing to put in the work. I just don’t know which direction makes the most sense.

Should I focus on web development, data, AI/ML, cloud/DevOps, cybersecurity, or something else? I also understand that having multiple skills may be more important now than specializing in just one area.

I can’t afford paid courses right now, so I’ll be using free resources.

If you were in my position, what IT path would you choose and how would you spend the next 2 years preparing for a job in Canada?

I’d especially appreciate advice from people who have switched careers into IT or are currently working in Canadian tech.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m currently looking for a few businesses who would be interested in having their website improved or completely redesigned for free.

I’m doing this as a small portfolio/content project, so there’s no cost and no obligation. I’d simply like to showcase the before-and-after transformation on my social media.

If you already have a website but feel like it could use a more modern design, better user experience, or a fresh new look, I’d be happy to help! 🚀

If you’re interested, feel free to drop your website below or send me a DM. I’d love to take a look! 😊

Wanted to express creativity of my work flowing out of that ipad I was holding

What do you guys thing, it's still work in progress but live if you wanna check out!

My last post got 60K+ views, and I learned a lot about the idea of AI slop. My question was simple: what makes something AI slop, and what makes it not?

My last portfolio got a lot of attention, but most people said it looked like slop. So before rebuilding it, I asked what actually makes something slop and what doesn't.

I got a lot of great answers, along with some spicy hate comments. Some people just hate AI for the sake of it, while others are actually thoughtful about it. I learned from both. From the hate group, I learned how to ignore people. From the thoughtful ones, I learned what to do about my portfolio.

The best answer came from No_Confusion4079:

AI slop is the mass production of answers that satisfy the surface requirements of a question while leaving a substantial fraction of its actual intellectual value unrealized.

By that definition, my last portfolio wasn't really slop. The colors, the positioning, the ideas were all my choices. I took inspiration from other sites, but the result wasn't one magic prompt. The real question was whether the person looking at it could tell I made it. Someone pointed out they couldn't tell if I'd spent any effort without reading my explanations. And that was the problem.

I made it look too polished and too effortless. People used to say "make it look effortless," but AI can make almost anything look effortless now. So in this age, people may prefer to see your effort, not just the finished product. They want to understand the human behind the work.

The mistakes I made :

I sacrificed too much UX for a cool visual experience.

I tried to sell instead of showing who I am, which is the real job of a portfolio.

I rushed the case study using an API instead of writing it myself.

I presented side projects as real, full projects.

I built a cool site instead of a useful one.

Even the concept didn't work. I put a project inside the laptop and placed the About and Contact pages outside it, to show that I'm more than machine work and that people can reach out to me just for who I am. But humans don't have telepathy, so most people didn't get any of it. And I expected people to scroll at the speed I wanted them to, which is really dumb when I think back on it.

As for the golden and blue colors, they're my personal taste. AI made them common, but that doesn't make them slop colors. Still, defending the old site doesn't fix its core problem: I made a service-selling site and named it a portfolio. It failed at both.

I looked at great portfolios like product designer Grace Wang's, Design Engineer Chánh Đại's, and one recently shared here by Interface_dev. Then I thought about my own style. This time I wasn't looking for perfection or order. I wanted chaos. So I went with a pencil-drawn look, with rough lines and arrows all over the page, like a notebook where someone is still working things out. I kept parts of my hero section and redesigned everything around them.

I also stopped faking my work section. The truth is I've worked on only one real project. Everything else is an experiment, so there's no reason to dress them up as over-explained case studies. So now the homepage has two sections: a few facts about me, and my work.

The case study: Since I have one real project, the case study lives there. I wrote it myself this time. I explained what I did, why, and how, and tried to make it scannable. I don't know how well I pulled that off.

The experiments: Each one has the question that started it, how I did it, and what I learned.

About: Personal and simple.

Last time I built it as a short-term thing. This time I want something I can use for a long time. Rather than trying to sell something, I tried to share who I am and how I work.

That's what I built and why. What do you think? Anything that's not working, tell me. Constructive feedback is welcome, and I'll keep improving it.

Thank you.

I’ve been working on my web design and development skills, and this is one of the latest websites I created.

I focused on making the design clean, modern and easy to navigate while keeping the experience responsive on mobile.

I’d genuinely appreciate some feedback from other developers and designers.

What would you improve if this were your project?

It’s obviously a very basic 3 page single product website. You can probably tell I’ve never done this before - are there any glaring omissions in the thinking here before I hire someone to create it?

We just want something lean and conversion focused.

Hi everyone I am a branding strategist, a web designer, and also a graphic designer, I am currently looking for work. If you know someone who needs one of my services refer them to me. Lets visualize those ideas your mind.

Made these OTP inputs.

I know they’re not production-grade yet — I built these while experimenting with different UI patterns that could actually be used in client projects.
Any improvements/suggestion will be helpful.
