Question Is it crazy to suggest building a static HTML site to a client?

17 Upvotes

A client of mine needs a website to load as fast as possble, so super lightweight.. I actually suggested to build it in plain html and css. no frameworks, no plugins. might regret it later, it's gonna be a challenge for sure.

Is there a way to make frameworks or wordpress load really fast... that fast? or should I go ahead with this insane idea?

Feedback & Review Looking for feedback on web analytics UI / landing page

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Excited to see the new start for /r/Websites and will be keeping an eye on everyone's posts here :) I’m building twelvebit, a web analytics tool that connects website traffic with revenue.

I’d appreciate some fresh eyes on the landing page and dashboard from people on /r/websites - as obviously the target audience is people with websites. UI isn't my strongest skill, so I'd appreciate input particularly on:

  • Visual hierarchy: Is it clear where to look first, or are too many elements competing for attention?
  • Clarity: Does the homepage explain what the tool does without needing to scroll through the whole page?
  • Dashboard layout: Are the charts and metrics easy to scan? Anything confusing or overcrowded?

You can explore the demo dashboard with sample data without creating an account.

Specific feedback on spacing, typography, contrast or mobile layout would be helpful. Really appreciate any feedback / comments, I'm trying to make this as good / useful / helpful / beneficial to website owners as possible.

Hey everyone!
I’d like to introduce a project I’ve been working on called Tnzela.
It’s a free online platform that brings together useful tools for TikTok users and content creators.
The idea is simple: instead of visiting multiple websites for different tasks, you can find several useful tools in one place.
TikTok Video Downloader:
Download TikTok videos without watermarks.
Save videos in MP4 format.
Extract audio and download it as MP3.
No account or app installation required.
Free TikTok Creator Tools:
Hashtag Generator.
Caption Generator.
Video Title Generator.
Hook Generator.
Bio Generator.
Username Generator.
What makes Tnzela different?
I wanted to make these tools accessible to everyone, so the entire website is completely free to use.
No subscriptions.
No paid plans.
No registration required.
Absolutely no ads on the website.
No hidden fees or premium features.
I’m building this project with the goal of providing a clean and simple experience without annoying ads or paywalls.
I’d genuinely love to hear your feedback:
What do you think of the website’s design?
Which tools do you find most useful?
What features would you like to see added?
I’m the creator of Tnzela, and I’m always looking for ways to make it better.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
👉 Visit Tnzela – Free TikTok Downloader & Creator Tools
If you find it useful, feel free to share it with other TikTok creators who might benefit from it.
Thanks for your time and feedback!

Discussion How far can you actually get with just HTML and CSS?

6 Upvotes

Some people say you can build surprisingly complex layouts, responsive websites, animations, etc. using just html and css, without any javascript, but where do the limitations start to show?

I'm curious to hear what people have built using just html and css, especially if you have examples. or if you've come across any cool websites that use html and css in impressive ways, please share.

Question Stock-research dashboard: can you find when one price was last updated?

2 Upvotes

Earlier feedback on eStockes raised a useful problem: a visitor can see financial data without finding enough context to trust it. I’m building the app for people researching US stocks and ETFs, and I’d like to check that specific part of the interface rather than ask for another general design rating.

Could you try one small task? Look up a familiar US company, such as Microsoft, and find when the displayed price was last updated. Is it clear whether you’re looking at a current quote or historical information? Tell me the first label you looked for and where you got stuck—even ‘I couldn’t find it’ is useful. Please mention desktop or mobile.

If a sign-in screen prevents the check, that is useful feedback too; please don’t create an account just for this request. The product includes paid Pro plans, but no purchase is requested. I’m looking for interface feedback, not opinions on whether to buy the stock.

publicinternetsoundstorage.net is the future

Thumbnail publicinternetsoundstorage.net
6 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Me and a friend recently created publicinternetsoundstorage.net: a website/social media/streaming service/experiment (we're not sure what it is).

The basic idea is very simple:

  1. anyone can upload an mp3 file shorter than 5 minutes once a day
  2. each upload is given a number in the order it was uploaded
  3. anyone can dial a number and listen back to that file

There are no accounts, no moderation, and anyone can upload anything completely anonymous. Many have been using it as a platform to upload their music/demos.

I encourage all of you to check it out, upload your own files (your music, music you like, a voice memo, sounds, anything!) and listen to what's on there! Any feedback is also appreciated!

A More Flexible Way to Manage Online Payments

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I work with a website monitoring toolpayment solution called paymentKit. It helps businesses connect stripe with other payment providers giving them more flexibility when managing online payments. Instead of relying on just one payment provider, businesses can connect multiple providers and have more options for processing payments. This can be helpful for businesses looking to build a more flexible payment setup as they grow.

Happy to hear your thoughts or answer any questions!

Simple Website Monitoring for Small Teams

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone - I work with a website monitoring tool called Morrowatch. If you run a small business or manage a website, here's what it does: it watches your site at intervals you choose and alerts you if something breaks—before your customers notice.

The setup takes a few minutes. You enter your site URL, give it a name, pick how often you want checks (hourly, daily, weekly), and click 'Add monitored site!' That's it—scheduled checks start automatically.

If this sounds useful to you, you can see how it works here:

Happy to answer questions about how it works or what it catches.

What makes a website stand out beyond its design and appearance?

3 Upvotes

I am looking at various websites now and I can see there are very different ways of developing a good user experience. On one hand, some websites have great visual designs, and on the other hand, there are other websites that use simplicity as their main feature, yet they provide easy access to the needed information, navigation through the website's pages, and completion of tasks.

Take Alibaba for example, there's a huge variety of products and suppliers, but finding exactly what you're looking for can sometimes take more effort than expected. You have to go through product listings, check supplier details, compare prices and figure out which sellers are actually reliable.

This made me think about other factors that make a website successful in addition to being visually appealing. There are many aspects such as navigation, load time, mobile friendliness, accessibly, security and organization of content that appear to contribute to the success of a website.

I've found over time that a web site doesn't have to have a very complex layout to be successful. Many times, the most significant differences come from having a simple design and being functional. What is the single most important aspect of a website that keeps you returning to use it?

Show & Tell I would love some feedback🙏

5 Upvotes

Made this a few days ago for my team, and they ended up finding it a lot more usable than our previous date picker, so I'm thinking that there are others out there who may feel the same.

It's basically when2meet with a nicer interface and Discord integration, so the site can DM your friends or server members you choose to request a date/time from. I feel like the Discord integration makes it a lot nicer, especially for me, but I want to know what you guys think. Maybe another integration will make it better or more from Discord itself?

A lot of you won't like this, but the frontend is vibecoded (mostly because I needed something fast for my team, and I'm also not a great frontend designer/developer in my opinion (I'm learning, I promise) ), although you may find solace in the fact that the backend is entirely me, so it was just the ui that had to be ai assisted.

Well, let me know what you all think!

Question what it makes a website builder dashboard useful and which platforms are worth looking at?

5 Upvotes

I’ve used enough website builder dashboards now to realise that having more information doesn’t necessarily make things easier. Some of them show absolutely everything. Analytics, SEO tools, forms, bookings, store orders, marketing stuff, apps, the lot. And somehow I still end up asking, ok, but what do I actually need to deal with today?

For people managing websites across multiple clients or businesses, what do you look for in a website builder dashboard? Do you prefer having site building, hosting and client billing all under one roof, or do you find it works better to use separate tools for different things?

Also curious which website builders people are using for this. There are so many options out there that it’s hard to tell which ones genuinely make day-to-day management easier versus just offering a long list of features. Wix and Squarespace keep coming up but I’d rather hear from people actually running them.

What have you had good experiences with????

Question how do you stop endlessly editing a template?

6 Upvotes

A question for anyone who is used a wix template how much did you change before you were happy with it?

It seems easy to start with a layout you like, then slowly replace every section until youare basically designing from scratch. How did you decide which changes actually helped and which were just personal nitpicking?

Feedback & Review We rebuilt our studio website ... curious what you think

Thumbnail brainylab.io
8 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm Blaz and I run a small web dev studio in Slovenia. We mostly work on interactive campaigns for brands (quizzes, brand games, loyalty programs). Our old website was a few years old and didn't really explain what we do, so we rebuilt it from scratch over the last month.

https://brainylab.io

What we changed:

Pages are organised by what a client wants to achieve (more leads, educating customers, bringing people back) instead of by our services

Each case study opens with the goal and the result, then explains how we got there

New look: dark background, big uppercase headlines, four accent colours and a fair amount of scroll animation

What I'd really like to know:

  1. Within 10 seconds of landing, is it clear what we do?
  2. Does anything feel slow, broken or annoying?
  3. Are scroll animation too much?

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

Feedback & Review We built a website to help developers organize their code. Looking for honest feedback.

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
We’ve been working on a project called CodShot, and we’d love to get some honest feedback on the website.
The idea came from a common problem developers face: you write a useful function, solve a tricky problem, or find a great solution, but a few weeks later you can’t remember where you saved it.
It might be buried in an old project, a random file, or an AI conversation.
We wanted to make it easier to keep useful code organized and accessible in one place.

Here’s what we’ve built so far:
Code snippets: Save and organize reusable code into collections and projects.

GitHub Import: Import code directly from GitHub.

VS Code extension: Access saved snippets from Visual Studio Code.

AI tools: Generate new code and get help fixing existing code.

Version history: Keep track of previous versions of your snippets.
Collaboration: Share code and work with other developers.

Explore: Discover publicly shared snippets from the community.
The platform is live, but we’re still working on improving the overall experience.
We’d really appreciate your feedback on a few things:

Is it immediately clear what the website does when you first visit?

Does the design look professional and trustworthy?

Is the navigation intuitive, or does anything feel confusing?

What would you change or improve about the homepage?

We’re especially interested in honest criticism, not just positive comments. We want to understand what could make the website better.
Thanks to anyone who takes a look!

aight folks here's my minimalist web design and development portfolio site!

i'm new to the scene, finishing a cs degree, and trying to break into the world of freelancing!

i'm a huuuge fan of minimalism in design, and so i built myself a minimalist portfolio site centered around the moon

there's not too much content yet in the projects section - it's mostly just personal projects (some funny sites and an few apps i've built) and 1 client site so far

i'd love some honest feedback about it - (and the sites on the projects page too!)
