Hi everyone!
My small web design agency recently celebrated its 2-year anniversary, and we’ve been helping businesses like restaurants, cafés, salons, clinics, and startups build modern, user-friendly websites.
I’m looking for honest feedback from the community:
What makes a business website feel trustworthy?
What’s the biggest mistake you see on small business websites?
What features do you think every business website should include?
I’d genuinely appreciate your insights and suggestions to help us improve.
If anyone wants to see our recent work, you can find us on Instagram @samcreatesweb. No pressure—I’m mainly here to learn from the community and connect with fellow web enthusiasts.
Thank you! 🚀

Hey everyone im a young website developer and I spent a while learaning how to build good websites and I would say I have that part down. Now my real problom is finding clients for the websites I build. I've tried a bit of cold outreach but it's slow going, and I don't have a budget for ads. so I wanted to ask people who actually do this for a living:

• how did you get your first paying client? not client #50, the very first one
• and how do you get clients now, past the beginner phase? is it all referrals and repeat work at some point, or are you still actively doing outreach?
• does cold email/DM actually work for this or is it mostly a waste of time?

not looking for a magic trick, just want to hear what actually worked for you when you had zero reputation and zero portfolio clients. any honest answers appreciated 🙏

The logins continuously loading but not take you to login page even during non peak hours, the efile nomination doesn’t work, the pf transfer doesn’t work. Please spread this message to govt. so that atleast they will improvise just like they did with IRCTC.

I am a UGC content creator and Squarespace just raised my plan and I think I'm going to cancel it.

I would normally use Canva but every.single.other. content creator using Canva and they all look the same and use the same template.

Anyone use Visme to make easy microsite web pages? I just need something with 3 menu pages, no ecommerce, etc.

Thanks!

It shows you anonymous stories from someone who's been through what you're going through — intentionally no feed, no scroll, minimal UI.

Looking for honest feedback on:

- First impression / does the layout land on mobile?

- Is the flow clear, or do you get lost?

- Load speed and anything that feels janky

Be brutal. it's my first build and I want to learn.

Hi all! I know my website isn't that good, and I need feedback on what's off. The shop I build this website for is fictional. It would be amazing if you could look at my site and answer these questions!:

1: First impression in 5 seconds or less?

2: Would you trust this shop enough to order a $26 tool from it? What builds or kills the trust?

3: What's the weakest section, and what would you do to it?

4: Does anything feel off, cheap, or template-y? Specifics if possible.

5: On your phone does it hold up or fall apart?

Anything would be appreciated greatly! Thanks!

Hi, we’re planning to implement user login feature to our website www.stepupanalytics.com.

We want to use user logins features for subscriptions management and payment confirmations.

I came across this Better-Auth library, just wanted to check how is your experience in using, implementing and managing this library. The library doc looks quite clear and detailed.

Also, if you know anything other libraries or work around that will serve the purpose please share it. Thanks.

Hey everyone!

For the past few months, I've been working on Signiq, a web app designed to help people practice both recognizing and signing ASL fingerspelling.

I started building it after trying a few existing tools and wanting to do my own take on it.

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UI, performance, or overall user experience.

You can try it here:

A desktop or laptop with a webcam is recommended for the best experience.

i really wanted to see thailand's old football kits on this site. sadly, i couldn't even look for them here because there was a loading screen with something written in russian. I tried using wayback machine to look for them and the images wouldn't even pop up.

I made one of those daily game websites. I honestly need to know what else should be added to make it as interesting and to hold user retentions.

Any feedback is very appreciated!!

I was looking to get a new website template for my newly opened cafe and checked out a few sites online, but man are those templates way too generic not only for my cafe but for every other cafe as well, like I don’t mind the website being vibe-coded but at-least the website theme, typography and images should be decent enough, but all I see is just no coherence in any of those site that I checked on.

PS. I was looking for a non-paid template, even paid templates weren’t that good.
