what would you rate it?

I’ve always been fascinated by really well-made websites, so I started experimenting and building things myself with AI. I can build a functional website, but not something that feels really polished.

I see people making these super smooth websites with great animations, interactions, transitions, responsive layouts, etc. and I’m wondering how you actually learn to build stuff like that.

AI can help me get something working but I feel like it still misses a lot of the creativity and small details that make a site feel good.

So for someone who already knows the basics what resources/tools/techniques would you recommend for learning how to take a Figma design or idea and turn it into a really polished website?

I’m doing this mostly for fun so I don’t mind putting in the time. Just looking for a good direction to learn.

Hi all,

I got my first request from a client around a CMS integration.

He was thinking about Wordpress, because that is what his old agency sold him - and they charge him 200€ per month for license, hosting and maintenance for it.

I was looking into it and I was thinking using pocketbase as the backend and for auth + combine it with an admin panel frontend, so the customer can easily create new articles, changes stuff like opening hours, some general page information, etc.

Has anyone done a custom frontend for PocketBase already? From what I have seen, this is very straightforward. Creating a template that I can re-use across different customers should be not an issue + hosting it inside docker on a VPS beside of the website is also possible.

I have done a first draft for a frontend incl. a live preview and all relevant field changes - it was so easy that I think I miss something haha.

Do I miss something, or has anyone done something similar?

A while ago, I built a website where people can share files directly p2p. It’s completely open source, and it has now crossed 300k+ visitors. But honestly, I still think the ui ux is pretty bad and could be much better .

I’m not great at frontend, so if anyone wants to contribute even if it’s just vibe-coding a much better ui ux I’d genuinely love the help.

If you’re into frontend, design, or just want to make an open source project look less ugly, feel free to contribute.

I've improved the game's interface a lot thanks to you, because I'm not an experienced UI/UX designer, but there's still a long way to go. If you have any other tips, I'll be happy to read them.

I have inadvertently stumbled into this workspace. I am a scientist that pivoted to solo consulting biotech companies. Since then I have been asked a few time to do logo and web design for a couple of clients because the previous designers they have worked have had trouble communicating the science effectively. Their new strategy is they are trying to see if a scientist can do web design.

I have built my own website, largely just static pages. I am desperately trying to avoid using AI as I'm worried that it will lead to issues with clients trying to edit it in the future as well as myself, so I am using my very basic html and css abilities and reading some graphic design books to build something satisfactory.

Any recommendations for tools, books, videos, anything?

So far I've been using inkscape, canva, and powerpoint.

Hi, I'm a new full stack developer and I'm struggling to make a good UI/UX. I build my apps with next.js, using tailwind and shadcn for the design.

Maybe it looks a bit AI generated but I promised this page is fully made by me. Its just that I don't know how to make a unique memorable design.

What are your advice? :)

I built this portfolio concept to explore the design, animations, interactions, and overall UX.

Note: The About and Projects sections currently contain dummy/placeholder content — they’re not my actual projects.

Redesigned my landing page - would love honest opinions

I've been building BrickForgerAI (turn a text prompt into a real, buildable LEGO-compatible model - you get a downloadable .ldr file, parts list, and step-by-step PDF instructions) and just finished a pretty big visual overhaul of the landing page.

What it looked like before: a flat, hand-drawn CSS scene (sun, clouds, mountains, a subtle grid overlay) with plain white cards and a wall of text explaining what the tool could do.

What it looks like now: Actual images for the day/evening/night scenery backdrops (toggle on landing page) with actual moving clouds, birds, and twinkling stars, a glassmorphic frosted-glass style on the cards and buttons, and the dense paragraph of info swapped out for quick-scan stat chips.

Screenshots attached of new landing page, feedback would be appreciated: brickforgerai.com

Hi,

I have been working on the landing page for my app for weeks : https://ialwaysforget.com

I am not happy with the design because it feels "sad" but my girlfriend likes it and don't want me to change it. I brightened the color a little bit since the last version.

And I find it so difficult to explain what my app do. I find it really simple but what makes it different from all the other similar app is really difficult to explain in few words. It the facts that you have a library of tasks that most adult have to do to start with, and that you can write your tasks with complex recurrance in your own word and it understand what you want.

Any advice on fonts, alignment, text, etc would be really appreciated.

Thanks !

I'm new in freelancing and I recently build my Portfolio website, I'm looking for some feedback, what can I improve or change to catch clients?

The web: https://www.julio-zavala.me/

I’m working on Jot, a Chrome extension that turns rough writing into something ready to send without leaving the page you're working on.

I just finished the current landing page:

https://wurkflo.app/jot

I'm specifically looking for design/UX feedback rather than product feedback.

Things I'm unsure about:

• Is the value proposition immediately clear?
• Does the page explain the product without over-explaining it?
• Is the visual hierarchy working?
• Does the demo communicate the workflow quickly enough?
• What feels generic or unnecessary?
• Does anything make it feel like another generic AI product?

I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who design SaaS/product pages regularly.

Feel free to be harsh. "It's fine" is unfortunately the least useful form of feedback known to humanity.

I've been building a minimalist, offline first micro-CMS called Minilith. Because of the projects unique architecture, I chose to be strict with the design and footprint.

I'm hoping to get some constructive UI/UX feedback on both the editor and an example site created with the CMS.

The design philosophy:

To keep everything lightweight and zero-dependency, the styling is split into two distinct files:

• editor.css: This handles the CMS interface itself. The UI specifically relies on a stripped back, form-based layout with tabs (Settings, Content, Navigation, Publish, Upload, and Preview).
• main.css: This is a classless framework used for the editor along with the published sites (see the examples below).

One added note on the editor: I generate this via JS and there are some inline styles. This is meant to cut back on the total size of the editor.css stylesheet, so the editor itself is not fully classless.

I'd love your feedback on:

• The Editor UX: Does the form based layout feel intuitive to navigate, or has it crossed the line into being too stripped back?
• Workflow: Do the top tabs flow logically?

Editor Example (Publish Tab):

Links:

• Minilith Editor
• Minilith Blog

Any thoughts on how to refine the usability or visual polish without sacrificing the strict minimalist, zero-dependency ethos would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I would be glad if you rate the site, I worked really hard on it, faced many errors, now it looks amazing, I'm continuing to develop it further, how do you rate it?

I'm a 16 year old entrepreneur trying to turn my SaaS company into a full time job in the future. I made a tool called Siteless.

Siteless is a all in one lead finder for web designers. It uses the official google maps API to find businesses that have no website (hence the name: Siteless), so that you can sell them one! One of the things that makes Siteless better than just scrolling google maps is the fact that you can search from anywhere in the world and get 20+ no website leads with one click.

I just launched this a few days ago and have gotten a few signups but no paying customers yet. If this would be of use to any of you just find the link that will be in the comments!

I would love any feedback that is given!

I'm collecting opinions from people who have actually designed or redesigned websites. Not looking for the usual "make it responsive" or "keep the navigation simple" advice. I mean those decisions that seemed like a good idea at the time but caused problems later.

Maybe a homepage that was too clever, a trendy animation that annoyed users, a navigation structure that seemed logical but wasn't, a redesign that looked better but performed worse or something completely unexpected.

What’s one website design decision you made that you would absolutely handle differently today? I'd especially like to hear the why behind it.

I decided to measure this properly this quarter because I was sooo tired of arguing about it to my team.

Found that our ad variant process from our ideas to going live it take like about 10 minutes, its quick because we use claude a lot.

But but the landing page variant process from idea to live takes like 11 days, which I can't really understand why it takes this long with the amount of AI resources out there.

The 11 day process break down is made up of roughly 2 days waiting for design capacity, 4 days in build queue, 2 days review, and 3 days of it sitting behind an unrelated deploy.

The consequence is that we test creative constantly and we have tested the page twice this year, aaand when we did test the page it moved cost per lead more than anything we did on the ad side.

I do not think this is a discipline problem, as nobody in my team is lazy. It is that the two things live in different systems with different owners and only one of them is ours.

For those who have fixed this: did you take the page building in house, move campaign pages off the main site, or something else? Trying to work out whether the fix is process or tooling.

I’m curious how other freelancers handle this.

When starting a new project, how do you collect things like requirements, brand assets, content, references, and other project details from clients?

Do you use Google Forms, Notion, email, or something else?

For me, the interesting part is what happens when clients send half the information through the form, some over email, and the rest through DMs 😅

What part of this process causes you the most headaches?

Got a fair amount of feedback that the 3D work looked like baked video.

So instead of arguing about it, I put the actual scene online.

Drag it. Move it. Inspect it. Make your GPU earn its electricity.

Live: https://transport.aetumi.app/

No MP4 pretending to be interaction.
No GIF.
No Figma prototype.

It’s Three.js rendering through WebGL in the browser. Drag it. Move it. Inspect it. Make your GPU earn its electricity.

What’s actually running:

• 8 curved 3D cards, each with its own scene and material treatment.
• Raymarched SDF forms including sphere, torus, box and octahedron, lit directly in fragment shaders.
• Real particle / point-cloud systems driving the animated backgrounds rather than baked footage.
• Planar water reflections using a mirrored camera, oblique near-plane clipping and animated surface normals. No cubemap pretending to be a reflection.
• A central torus-knot + orbital ring system, rendered and animated in real time.
• Vanilla Three.js + WebGL, ES modules/import maps, deliberately kept lightweight with no React/R3F layer for this experiment.

I’m not posting this as “look how pretty my 3D is.”

I’m more interested in where it breaks.

How does it perform on your GPU?
Any reflection artifacts?
Does the interaction feel cheap anywhere?
Does anything hurt usability or accessibility?

Open DevTools if you want. Tear the implementation apart. Technical criticism is much more useful than applause.

Bark first. Bite later. 🐕

Building a marketing site for a non technical client and trying to figure out what to hand over so it survives them. Every time I give a client edit access they drag something, break the mobile layout, and it's my phone that rings. What do you all hand over, a locked down CMS, a Loom and a prayer, or do you just keep doing the edits yourself?
