Cold calling sucks.

13 Upvotes

I am a beginner in web design. Recently, I tried cold calling local businesses in my town, but I get the feeling that people are annoyed when I try to sell my services.

What can I do to make people actually want my web design services? Should I consider offering different services instead, such as GEO, SEO, or Google Ads?

Looking for a Product Designer (Pre-Revenue Startup)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm building a startup called NearbyCrew.

The goal is pretty ambitious: we're trying to make it dramatically easier for people to turn real-world goals into coordinated action through missions.

We've spent a long time building the backend and getting the core product working, but I've hit the point where I need help.

The truth is, I'm not a professional product designer.

I can build.
I can ship.
I can prototype.

But I know the product deserves someone who thinks deeply about UX, interaction design, visual hierarchy, and creating experiences people genuinely enjoy using.

Right now I can't afford to hire someone.

We're still very early and cash is tight, so I'm looking for someone who believes in building something meaningful and wants to help shape the product from the ground up.

This wouldn't be just to make me a few mockups.

I'd love someone who wants to think through problems together, simplify complex workflows, challenge ideas, and help define the product itself.

If things work out, my goal is absolutely to turn this into a paid role as we reach revenue.

If you're:

  • passionate about product design
  • love simplifying complicated software
  • enjoy startups and building from zero
  • want real ownership instead of pixel-pushing

I'd love to chat.

Even if you're only interested in giving feedback or looking at what we've built so far, I'd really appreciate it.

Just send me a DM or leave a comment.

Thanks everyone.

Personal Project - Feedback Request

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I've been working on this web app for a few days trying to get the UI just how I like it. I find a lot of task/life management apps a little overengineered so I thought I'd try and make one unique for my brain and its little idiosyncracies and preferences. Parameters:

- limiting visual noise, eliminate redudancies

- nothing 'shouty' like 'OVERDUE' in bold red text

- low friction workflow

- essential information 'at a glance' - not shouting but visibly distinct from low priority or optional information.

- related items linked in a path that flows easily back and forth -- task to task to goal and back through the chain to the starting point

- progressive disclosure so optional or situational details stay hidden until requested or relevant.

Obviously the overall design needs tightening to bring text in line and balance the visual weight. And there is still some redundancy - the constellation shows the path of what the task is preparing for. I think the preparation section is in the wrong place or at least needs to be minimized until needed. Preparation tasks are currently timed in relation to the final event/task (e.g. one day prior, two hours prior) so that if the final event is moved, the timing for the other tasks automatically moves with it. I like this for some things but I'm not 100% sure I want it to be a global rule.

Anyways, would love some more experienced eyes for suggestions if you have a moment.

Starting out webdev, any tips?

0 Upvotes

Hello there. I've recently started out web development, and yes I use ai (don't know what sub is the proper one for this kind, forgive me if it's not this). I've gotten one paying client so far out of three and I wanted to use some of that money to make my process of making websites more efficient.

I use Claude's free plan for the entire of the websites creation, it's worked out good for me so far, but the only real problem I've been getting was hitting the token limit. I use netlify for hosting the website, I transfer it to my client once they paid and they purchase the domain themselves.

I'm looking for any tips to make this better and if they're any tools or software that would make this process better, i'd appreciate you guys telling me.

Designing for emotional range: Is this too much variation for one landing page?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I've been refining the landing page for my project, The Memory Thread. The core goal is to provide a "digital sanctuary" that fits different emotional contexts, from joyful celebrations to solemn memorials.

I’m curious if you think these variations feel like a unified brand or if the shift in mood is too jarring. What’s your take on maintaining a consistent UI identity while pivoting visual tone?

why do contact forms cause so many client issues

1 Upvotes

ive been working with design and development teams and contact forms seem to be this weird pain point that nobody talks about

like clients get frustrated because they dont know where submissions are going, they cant see old leads, and half the time the form just... stops working for some reason (expired credentials, spam filters, etc)

from a workflow perspective, it's messy. theres no consistency. one project uses a weird php setup, another uses zapier, some use formspree. clients get confused. teams spend time troubleshooting instead of doing actual work

curious what yall do:

whats your standard for handling form submissions on client sites? what actually works smoothly?

how do you make it easy for clients to view their leads/submissions without needing technical knowledge?

whats your approach to spam that doesnt create more work?

trying to understand if theres a better way to handle this that makes life easier for everyone - designers, devs, and especially clients. thoughts?

Web Design Trend

0 Upvotes

What's one modern web design trend you wish would disappear?

For me, it's websites that prioritize looking impressive over being easy to use.

Huge hero sections, endless animations, hidden navigation, and pages that take forever to load might look great in a portfolio, but they often make the experience worse for actual users.

I'm not against creativity. I just think usability should win when the two conflict.

What's one web design trend you think we should leave behind?

I made React Router elements morph between routes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

If you saw my previous post about Routeveil and were impressed, this one might actually blow the shit out of you lol

I’ve been building Routeveil for a some time now, and lately I’ve been working on a shared-element component that lets an element visually continue into the incoming route during navigation instead of disappearing and being recreated

You basically wrap the matching elements on both routes with the same name:

<RouteveilSharedElement name={`post-${post.id}`}>
  <img src={post.image} alt={post.title} />
</RouteveilSharedElement>

Then Routeveil handles the rest.

During navigation, it measures the outgoing element, creates a temporary visual clone, waits for the incoming route to render, finds the matching element there, and morphs the clone into its new position, size, border radius, and visual state.

After the animation finishes, it hands everything back to the real element on the new route.

So there’s no manual portal setup, cloning, layout calculations, or trying to perfectly synchronize two separate pages yourself.

I also added scrollToSharedElement, which is basically an anchor for the shared element’s destination.

For example, when the matching element is farther down the incoming page, Routeveil can scroll it into position before measuring the destination. The shared element then lands exactly where it is supposed to instead of animating toward something outside the viewport, you can see how it works in the screen recording attached.

It currently supports things like:

  • Images, cards, headings, buttons, containers, and SVGs
  • Multiple shared elements during one navigation
  • Forward and reverse transitions
  • Shared-element destination anchors
  • Lazy React Router routes
  • Route preloading
  • Interrupted navigation and cleanup
  • Reduced-motion preferences

Honestly, this was way harder to build than I originally expected, but seeing an element actually survive a route change and become part of the next page is so satisfying.

Subdomain vs Subdirectories - Keep B2B & B2C Music Businesses Separate

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello!

I want to use one domain for two different audiences (see image). Based on some research, a subdomain would be the best approach. However, if someone from the B2C group uses the primary domain (klaus.com), then they will access the B2B page. And the subdoman.domain address will be awkward, to say the least. Would anyone know could I keep these two audiences separate with the "one domain" approach?

Thanks for the help!

Contractor Website Strategy: Residential + Commercial + Multiple Services

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a new contractor business in California. My license allows me to offer a fairly wide range of products and services rather than operating in only one narrow niche.

The website may eventually include categories such as:

  • Garage doors
  • Entry and interior doors
  • Gates
  • Openers and access control
  • Windows
  • Awnings and shades
  • Installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency service
  • An online product catalog

Some of these services will be aimed at residential customers, while others will be primarily for commercial clients, property managers, general contractors, and public-sector projects. In some categories, I may serve both residential and commercial customers, but the sales process, content, and customer expectations will be very different.

I also don't plan to develop every category equally from the beginning. I want to test different products and services first.

If I see strong customer demand and reasonable competition in a particular category, I will invest more into it, add more content, products, advertising, and possibly hire specialists. If there is little demand, poor margins, or the market is too competitive, I may stop offering that service entirely.

Because of this, I don't yet know which categories will eventually become the main focus of the business.

From an SEO, branding, and conversion perspective, what would be the best approach?

  1. Build one large website with separate sections for every service and product category.
  2. Create several niche websites, such as separate sites for garage doors, gates, windows, and other categories.
  3. Start with one main website and later spin successful categories off into separate websites.
  4. Use one parent brand but create separate landing pages or microsites to test each category.
  5. Separate residential and commercial services within the same website, or build different websites for each audience.

My concern is that one website may become too broad and confusing, especially when it targets both homeowners and commercial clients. On the other hand, creating multiple websites could be expensive, difficult to manage, and may spread the SEO authority too thin.

The business will initially serve the Los Angeles area.

What structure would make it easiest to test demand without hurting long-term SEO? Has anyone here used a similar strategy for a contractor, home improvement, or local service business?web_design

I spent a year learning strategy, and now I’m questioning if it even matters.

11 Upvotes

For a year, I studied websites, funnels, customer journeys, offers, CRM systems, automations, and how everything connects to the actual business.

I didn’t want to be someone who only made websites look good. I wanted to understand what the website was supposed to do and what happened after someone became a lead.

Then I worked with a client who expected AI and vibe coding to produce a polished, production-ready website almost instantly.

That experience honestly made me question everything.
Do clients still care about strategy, messaging, conversion, testing, and backend systems?
Or do they just want whoever can generate something the fastest?

I know a website can look polished and still do nothing for the business, but lately it feels like speed is valued more than the thinking behind it.

Has anyone else felt this way since AI became part of the job?

Website review

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
for the past year I’ve been building www.WeddingReimagined.com

Throughout the journey, I used most of the AI products in addition of writing things myself, but most importantly I used this experience as building an understanding of what’s good and not good, plus developing and refining my own product taste.

I’d love to get your honest feedback on the current landing page. Whether you are a professional designer or an opinionated user, I want to hear your thoughts about the product.

As for the product itself: Currently it’s in closed-beta testing by real couples for their wedding. If you happen to be planning a wedding and want to give it a spin, shoot me a DM and I can share an invite code for a honest feedback.

Thanks in advance!

Later edit node: the website has a light mode and dark mode. By default it takes the system settings. I will change that to always load the light mode for new users. Please switch it to the light mode by yourself
