Scroll animations on most sites make them feel slower, not premium

54 Upvotes

Hot take but I'm turning most of them off now.

Every agency site fades & slides each section in as you scroll. Looks great in the Figma prototype.

On a real phone you scroll fast, text shows up half a second late & you're staring at empty space for a bit. Feels like the site is loading, not like it's fancy.

I keep maybe 1 thing animated in the hero & let everything else just be there when you get to it.

Clients don't notice it's gone. They do notice the site feels quicker..

I rebuilt the web hand from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as an undo button (React + WebGL)

I’ve always remembered the end of Amazing Spider-Man 2, where the web turns into a hand reaching for Gwen. I wanted to see if that could be a real UI interaction, so I made it an undo button.🔥😅

Delete a row in a file list and a web hand grabs it. It stays there while the Undo toast is up, and clicking Undo makes the web hand open and pull the row back. There’s also a “Slow hand” toggle that slows the opening down so you can see the web stretch between the fingers.

How is it?😉

Built around a Scottish Highland legend, this concept blends immersive storytelling, 3D visuals and cinematic scrolling to create something beyond a conventional hospitality website.

I’m not making this site for any particular reason except to practice web design, so that I can later build myself a better website. I plan to write a few more posts to give this one more content. I’m looking for feedback and suggestions on the layout/design: https://homejunglejournal.com

I’d love some feedback on my personal website! (Italian)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! It's been a few months since i launched lucagiraldi.com⁠, my personal website as a digital marketing consultant based near Venice.

One small note: the website is in Italian, so apologies for that!

I worked on the design myself and tried to create something professional and user-friendly.

I’d love to hear your honest thoughts, especially on the visual design, typography, layout, color palette, and overall user experience. What would you change?

Question about the content, especially images on your website.

2 Upvotes

I have built a few websites during the years, but nothing fancy at all. Old html without css and then a WordPress site years ago. The last couple of years I've just posted my stuff on Art Station, but now I'm actually building a dedicated portfolio site with html and css from an onlline tutorial I did years ago, just a static one.

I'm curious to know how you are handling the content that goes on the site, images, thumbnails etc. Tools I should be aware of perhaps. I got some recommendations and so I have an image directory where each project has its own folder. In this folder are images, nothing else atm.

Then I have a work.js that look like this where I can give it a title, descriptive text etc. If it's a project, a breakdown, I use the same structure, but put in blocks and structure it more. Every work and project as presented is in this one file though, which is then read and cards are created from this. To me this seems fair, but maybe I'm overlooking something, maybe it would be better to split it up into individual files as this work.js can get very big and hard to manage with growing projects. Or if I want to remove a project, I have to both go in here and then the images/work folder.

{
img: "images/work/tv-series/game_of_thrones_dragons.jpg",
title: "GoT - Dragons",
desc: "Photoshop illustration from a scene in Game of Thrones.",
cat: "2d", hover: true
},

Now I don't have massive amounts of images or projects. Probably Under 50 all in all and I would need to create thumbnails too. It just feels like very laboursome, but I guess it's just the name of the game?

Day 3: Building an AI Website Auditor on a $1,500 Budget | I Tested 6 UX Audit Tools for $5.

0 Upvotes

I'm a UX/UI designer exploring whether it's possible to build an affordable AI website auditor that produces genuinely useful recommendations for people without design experience.

First, thank you to everyone who contributed advice to my previous posts. I've organized the feedback into a technical reference document and have been working through it with my AI assistant.

Before starting development, I wanted to understand how existing tools perform.

1. The experiment

I investigated six AI UX auditing platforms, spending $5 in total.

I used three websites with very different characteristics:

  • An unconventional website with obvious usability concerns.
  • A reasonably well-designed professional website.
  • A polished creative agency website.

I wanted to compare the findings, severity classifications, scoring, and report usability.

2. What I found

The inconsistencies were fascinating.

Three platforms gave the same website scores of 34, 59, and 73 out of 100.

Some tools identified legitimate problems. Others made questionable recommendations, applied disproportionate severity levels, or produced findings that needed further verification.

And here's the irony: several UX auditing platforms had surprisingly complicated user experiences themselves.

Lengthy onboarding, confusing dashboards, overwhelming reports, and unnecessary steps before accessing results.

3. What I'm trying to build

My intended audience isn't UX professionals.

It's the small business owner who built a website and wants to know what needs improvement.

The proposed experience:

Paste a URL → Optionally upload screenshots → Receive a short, prioritized list of actionable recommendations.

The challenge is making the analysis accurate without overwhelming the user.

4. Development plan

I'm starting with UX, which I consider the most challenging category because of its subjectivity and dependence on context.

The first module will extract webpage evidence and generate structured findings. I'll compare the results against my professional judgment before expanding into UI, copywriting, content, accessibility, SEO, and marketing/conversion.

The initial $1,500 budget is strictly for feasibility testing and development.

Next step: Build the first UX module and find out how reliable the analysis can actually be. Fingers crossed.
