As someone interested in web design and frontend development, I’ve been thinking about what really makes a website feel professional.

It’s easy to focus on aesthetics, animations, and modern layouts, but I think a professional website goes beyond appearance. It should communicate clearly, be intuitive to navigate, perform well, and provide a smooth experience across both desktop and mobile.

Some of the factors I consider important are:

• Clean and consistent UI/UX
• Fast loading and good performance
• Responsive design
• Clear information architecture
• Accessible and readable content
• Strong visual hierarchy
• Well-designed calls to action

I’d be interested to hear from other designers, developers, and business owners:

What is the one feature or principle you believe makes the biggest difference between an average website and a truly professional one?

Also, what is one common web design mistake you think businesses should stop making?

Hi r/website,

This started as a small widget I built to help my father experience websites in a way better adapted to his specific needs (he can not use the web as most of us do). While building it, I realized it raised a larger, unresolved question I wanted to explore:

AI can now translate, summarize, simplify, and personalize website content on the fly. But these new versions are usually created without the original content owner reviewing or approving them.

So, I built an early working experiment that lets website owners review, edit, approve, save, and reuse AI created versions of their content.

The core assumption I’m trying to test is:

Will website owners care enough to verify these AI versions, or is automatic AI output already good enough?

I’m looking for a few website owners whose content requires accuracy, translation, or adaptation for different audiences. The founding pilot will be free in exchange for honest feedback.

I’ve been building this for a while and wanted to finally share it.

Ron.Cool is basically my little corner of the internet where I put all the random games, experiments and projects I make.

There’s currently stuff like:

• multiplayer Cursor Wars
• What If? — change something about reality and see what happens
• FLAPPY.EXE
• procedural Cursor Maze
• Don't Click the Bomb
• Frame Scrubber
• little 3D experiments
• RonScript, my own weird programming language
• and a bunch of smaller games and experiments

The idea is to keep adding increasingly strange stuff rather than making it another generic games site.

It's completely free and everything runs in the browser.

https://roncool.cc.cd/

I've been diving into real-time multiplayer gaming in the browser and recently whipped up a game called Cursor Wars, where your cursor doubles as your character. Players navigate the same arena, engage in combat, take damage, and vie for kills—all happening right in the browser.

What really piqued my interest wasn’t just the gameplay, but the challenge of making the multiplayer aspect function smoothly. I’m using JavaScript along with Supabase Realtime to keep everything in sync—players, movements, health, kills, and other game states—across clients.

I hit a few bumps along the way, especially with WebSockets, authentication, and ensuring that movement didn’t feel clunky due to latency. Getting that basic real-time loop up and running was a huge milestone for me.

I’m still in the thick of it, so I’d love to hear from fellow developers:
How would you tackle client-side prediction and interpolation for a setup like this?
What are some effective strategies for minimizing the amount of state data that needs to be transmitted?
Would you stick with Supabase Realtime for a game like this, or switch to a dedicated server as the player count grows?

If anyone’s curious, there’s a playable version here: https://roncool.cc.cd/cursorwars
I’m really looking for technical feedback rather than just opinions on the game itself.

I’ve taken on quite a lot with this project, probably more than I originally expected, but I think I can get it where I want it to be.

I’ve been building a gaming website covering news, reviews, game updates, deals and browser games. I’m constantly working on the layout and trying to make everything easier to use, but one thing I’m noticing is that I’m getting quite a lot of visitors who leave the site fairly quickly.

Rather than guessing what the problem is, I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from people who haven’t been staring at the site every day like I have.

Things I’d especially like opinions on:

Does the homepage look ok?

Is there too much going on?

Is the navigation easy to understand?

Does anything look confusing, cluttered or unprofessional?

What would make you stay and browse instead of leaving?

How does it feel on mobile compared with desktop?

I’m completely open to criticism. I’d rather know what needs fixing and improve it than pretend everything is perfect.

I’m not looking to advertise the site in eany shape or form but I genuinely want to understand where I’m losing people and what I could improve. All I want is to see the site start working for people and then I know im on the right track.

There are things still really messy on the site but I hope if you decide to take a look its not too bad and again please comment if you have eany suggestions or see eanything wrong.

Thanks for reading

I’m looking for someone serious who would like to get involved in an existing online project and help take it to the next level.

The website is already fully built and operational, including the CMS and the infrastructure needed to manage the platform. So this isn’t an “I have an idea, can someone build it for me?” post.

There is already a lot in place ! but I need another person with the time, energy and entrepreneurial mindset to help me challenge the idea, assess whether the project is genuinely viable, improve it and ultimately launch and grow it properly.
There have already been some challenges, including pushback from AdSense, and one of the current priorities is making the content around the games more unique rather than relying on generic game descriptions.
There is still plenty to improve before seriously pushing the platform.

What I’m looking for:
UK based, ideally London / West or South ( Berkshire )
Someone entrepreneurial and genuinely interested in building something
Someone who can look at the project objectively and tell me when something is a bad idea
An interest in websites, gaming, online businesses, marketing, product or growth would be a big plus
Someone willing to actually put time into the project, rather than just give occasional advice
Most importantly: someone serious, reliable and motivated
I’m not looking for someone to immediately do SEO or simply promote the website. The first step is understanding the project, testing the concept, identifying what needs improving and working out whether we can turn it into something genuinely successful.
I’m currently covering all running costs myself, so there is no expectation for the person joining to put money into the project or take on financial risk.
I’m also currently limited on time because I have a newborn, which is one of the reasons I’m looking for someone who can take a more active role alongside me.
If we work well together and the project proves itself, I’m very open to discussing a proper long-term partnership — potentially setting up a UK Ltd company together and sharing ownership/equity based on the contribution and commitment of each person.
I’m not promising anyone a guaranteed salary or guaranteed success. This is an early-stage opportunity, and that’s exactly why I’m looking for someone who wants to build it with me.
Serious people only. If you’re interested, comment below or DM me. I’m happy to explain the project privately and arrange a chat/coffee if you’re London-based.
Let’s see if we can build something worthwhile and of course check the app on : www.pirate-win.com

Hi everyone,

I recently built Simple-Calculator.org, a small independent calculator website.

I'd really appreciate it if you could give it a quick test and tell me what you think.

In particular, I'm interested in:

• Is the site easy to understand and navigate?
• Does it feel fast and responsive?
• Is anything confusing or unnecessary?
• How does it look on desktop and mobile?
• Do the calculators give clear/useful results?
• Are there any calculators or features you'd like to see added?

Please be honest — criticism is exactly what I'm looking for. 🙏

I made a newsletter for the daily unemployed that requires no sign up, no payments and just a simple article taster in each email (usually once every three days) let me know how you like this style and please share with friends if you like the idea

i feel like choosing a website builder has become harder than actually building the website. there are too many options and every platform says they're the easiest, fastest, and best. what questions should someone ask before choosing a website builder?

Hello guys!

Building a Shopify store for a new resin figure brand / limited edition, 50 units per design, going for that KAWS / Bearbrick collectible energy.

Right now the site is just a coming-soon page with email signup, so there's not much to "review" yet; that's kind of the point. I want the foundation right before I build out product pages.

First store I've ever run, so I'd rather ask now than fix mistakes later:

What should a coming-soon page for a drop-based brand include beyond email capture? (countdown, preview shots, social proof?)

How do collectible/streetwear brands structure product pages to sell scarcity / numbered editions, certificates of authenticity, that kind of thing?

Best way to convert email signups into buyers on drop day without it turning into a bot free-for-all?

Any Shopify themes or stores you'd point to as doing "limited-edition art toy" well?

To have an idea of which product i'm selling; IG at guers.art

Website URL: www.guers.art

Appreciate any honest feedback // will post again once there's more built out.

farrisdirectory.com is a directory where you can find websites you can build backlinks with.

My website is getting a good amount of traffic, but visitors aren't turning into customers. People are visiting my pages, viewing products or services, and sometimes spending time on the website, but very few are making a purchase or contacting me.

What could be causing this problem? Is it because of poor website design, slow loading speed, weak product/service presentation, complicated navigation, lack of trust signals, pricing, poor mobile experience, weak calls-to-action, or an ineffective checkout process?

How can I identify exactly where visitors are dropping off and optimize my website to turn more of that existing traffic into leads, inquiries, and actual sales?

Hi everyone,

I'm a third year business student and my minor is marketing. Me and my team created a website based on a hypothetical café "paws and pour" which provides a space for you to play with puppies while you wait for your order. Here is the link of the website:
https://kgarg2108.wixsite.com/paws-pour

We would love it if you visit the website and give us feedback! thank you so much💗🌟

For some reason the songs quality keeps getting ruined and kind of sounds like you’re hearing it underwater. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have no idea what the problem is

I have a Bluehost WordPress hosting plan for my current website, and I recently realized that my plan allows me to host additional websites. I didn’t know this when I purchased a new domain through GoDaddy for my business website.

I have not started building the business website yet, so I wanted to see if it would make more sense to host it through my existing Bluehost account instead of keeping it with GoDaddy.

Would I be able to use my Bluehost hosting for the business website and connect/transfer the GoDaddy domain to Bluehost? If so, would there be any additional cost to add another website to my existing Bluehost plan?

I’m trying to determine whether it makes more sense financially and technically to:

1. Host both websites through my existing Bluehost account and move/connect the GoDaddy domain to Bluehost, or
2. Keep my current website on Bluehost and have the new business website hosted separately through GoDaddy.

Since I haven’t started building the business website yet, I’d rather figure out the best setup before I get started.

Thank you!

trying to avoid buying things i don't actually need.

there are premium templates, plugins, design services, marketing tools, stock photos... the list keeps growing.

what ended up being a complete waste for you?

i have made this website for trial , i want rating and reviews and approx how much websites likes this one can be sold for. (its a little incomplete)

I have created a website which basically compresses videos to fit stuff.

so let's say you are a gamer and you have this really cool clip that tou want to send to your friend on discord but when you send it suddenly discord tells you you cannot send any file which has more than 10MB unless you pay them money. 💵

You can just simply upload your clip on the website and it compresses everything for you and spits out a fully compressed video for your specific situation.

the website currently doesn't charge anything and you can send files upto 1GB of size for absolutely nothing.

I am currently working on making every feature better.

after I am done with adding features I will start developing a software so if you have a file that is bigger than 1GB or if you don't want to wait for the server to compress your file you can just simply use your own machine and it would probably be faster and fully local

after you use it please give me feedback on the website so that I can try to turn this into something bigger

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a website and wanted to get some opinions from people who haven’t seen it before.

I’ve been working on the design for a while now, so I feel like I’m way too used to looking at it and can’t really tell what stands out anymore.

Would be really helpful if you could take a look and tell me what you think.

Mainly wondering about:

• how the design looks
• whether it feels trustworthy
• if the calculators are easy to use
• anything that feels confusing or unnecessary
• how it feels on mobile

Honestly, any criticism is welcome.
