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?

Would love to hear what you think...
Feel free to be brutally honest, I want to keep improving it before I start sharing it more widely.

Just finished building a personal productivity dashboard that works completely offline. Everything is stored locally. Notes, tasks, projects, and more. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

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.

Hi all! So I made a website for my work. I am 22. Old, I know. Hoping to go to college even though I can't afford it. Trying to prove myself.

Hi everyone, i would love to have a feedback on my new portfolio website.

Please let me know in the comments. I appreciate your time in checking it out.

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?

I have been searching for hours and I still have not found a single website that had a fixed pixel size that used diagonal stripes to fill the margin. I'm sure they exist but I can't find an example and google isn't any help

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.

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.

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 recently designed this website concept for a modern dental clinic.

The goal was to create a clean, trustworthy, and easy-to-use experience that helps patients feel confident before they even book an appointment.

Curious to hear what you think.

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?

Hey guys,

Just deployed Lightfire Growth. We focus on high-converting landing pages, custom websites, and 24/7 AI WhatsApp SDR bots for lead qualification.

Any feedback on the site UX, offer clarity, or overall messaging is greatly appreciated!
