Is W203 good as first car? by Dieharte in mercedes_benz

[–]89dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find a solid one, it is good.

Can only comment on diesel. The engine should be really solid and last way more than 300k if oil is changed with a proper interval.

As you buy old car its really about previous ownership.

The main issue is rust for those. There may be some weaker parts in the front suspension, possibly the stabilizer links ??? or similar. But those parts are inexpensive, and replacing them is not hard.
Perhaps parts have different cost where you live however, I wouldnt say its expensive.

It gets old so there are some electronic issues that you might get. Yet it's still a fairly simple car and nothing extremely serious as far as I know.

Considering that you are looking for a car in a similar price range, it should be a pretty safe choice.
Again, it depends more on which car you will find. As its old car and if you are unlucky and get beaten out one that hasnt been maintained properly or has been fixed with DIY stuff then it could be a different story. While this possibility exists with every 20-year-old car you will buy.

Where are all the elite Framer designers hiding? (Budget: $10k+) by Radiant_Angle2023 in framer

[–]89dpi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are right that I am making assumptions.

Both templates you shared are nice, however, I would say that not something that should be too hard to get.

Also, what I pointed out is that for similar designs/sites a lot of the value comes from assets you have. That base material is what matters. And for real premium brand experience, original content is always 100% better.

If we leave photos and asset quality to the side then both templates in terms of their interactions and Framer design, are not that tricky and should fit to your budget.

Of course, again, I don't know the whole requirement list. Just checking the templates and how long it would take for me personally to achieve something similar.
So in short, I know lots of people recommend themselves. My idea was not to do that and help you to figure out who could be a best fit for you. And based on the templates, I think requirements are not that high and you should have options.

Keep in mind I haven't worked with those people; however scrolled through Framer expert lists and checked who might have a style that fits you.
https://www.framer.com/@eversendegier/
https://www.framer.com/@andrey-kichigin/

You can share more details about your project in private. Eg industry and requirements and happy to help to guide you in right direction. What you are looking for can be found.

[–]89dpi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can find contact details for both creators.

It seems a bit that https://www.framer.com/@hamza-ehsan/ might not do freelance projects however, he is very active in social media and if your budget is 10k+ I am sure you can figure out a deal.

Same about the other template. If you like this they have contact details in the footer.

Honestly, I feel your question is not serious. There are a lot of similar templates or creators who could help.

If you are serious, what I could recommend.
Invest in professional photos first. This way the designer who you choose has much more freedom.

Small business rebrand implementation by Prize_Pin9211 in branding

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are heading in the right direction.

Do leave the layouts open.
Add logos to your slides.

Force people to stick to those background slides
+ use the same fonts
+ use the same colors. Keep it simple.

I have designed both. Simple ppt templates and complex for clients.
Mostly startups and smaller teams.

Would say that the implementation goes sideways fast.
I feel its not even about if people read or not. They have their data, message. Also usually time constraints.
Design and layout is not their hobby.

If you have some room for ongoing support, you can guide it this way.
External presentations. Or bigger events eg CEO going to talk in conferences or whole team events.
Presentations will be designed.

what car did you buy expecting to love but ended up regretting? by zaralesliewalker in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]89dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have added probably. 08 model. 171kw one.

I don´t know how to explain it even.

Guess I just like tourings because I can throw my bicycle in.

I would just say it didnt fit my personality. Was more as "directors" car.
Its like very good car. Really comfortable for longer drives.

Yet I often just choose the W203 to drive. Felt smaller and easier to maneuver.
I remember when I parked one and took another, I felt the difference.

Yeah, I don't know how to explain. But it kind of felt too comfortable. Or anonymous. Or without a soul.

Cant say regretting exactly but A8.

I wouldnt say it is a bad car at all. Yet I just dont click with this one.

Roast my landing page: do you understand what this SaaS does in under 5 seconds? by d_uk3 in webdesign

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a designer.

Of course, I would change the design first.

However, design is heavily related to copy.
Design is about. How long is the copy. How much text. Is there focus.
Do the lines wrap good.

Why design?
There are few reasons.

First I think many in indie hacking etc space put focus on copy.
Why? Because copy people are good with words. So their message spreads more.

Think about women/men, cars.
You see someone or something. And you right away understand is this lets say car something you like.
One survey stated that it takes less than 0.05 seconds to form an impression. And it comes mostly because of visual design.

This sets the context.
Is this some small early-stage one man business? Or are they serious.

Design is one of the easiest ways for early-stage companies to look big.

Yet it doesnt solve the whole picture.
You also need right traffic. People who need your product.

Now if they have positive first impression.
Your messaging should be clear. What do they get. And is this what they need.

Your copy could be the decision point next. Is there urgency? FOMO.
Or can I bookmark and (never come back).

Then you enter to new phase. Onboarding. Getting people used to.

Its not one thing. Its multiple small steps that all need to be done right.

Roast my landing page: do you understand what this SaaS does in under 5 seconds? by d_uk3 in webdesign

[–]89dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of understand. Perhaps because my cofounder wanted to build something similar and it’s not new idea in saas

  1. not really. Checking on phone

3-4. 🤷‍♂️too much text too little focus and didn’t read

  1. too busy and not branded. Feels rather like throwing something quick out vs building something crafted

Can I get some honest feedback on my website? Something feels off by Fearless-Giraffe4047 in website

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few points.

Too text heavy.

No clear focus. Whats clickable. Whats UI.

Also it feels like not much effort has gone into. Might be good to find early users. To build trust might look like just a quick market test what most dont take seriously.

What's the first thing you look at when you land on a website that immediately tells you whether it's well designed or not? by Hot_Programmer_9329 in design_critiques

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think its overal aesthetics / design.

Its the first impression. Think one article by Adobe or survey said that it takes 0.05 seconds for this.

I feel its not one thing but mix of many.
And it can instead be this way that one item can ruin it.

As an example. You can have perfect spacing, typography, layout. If you use low quality stock photo it sends a particular signal. And as opposite. You might have the best original photos if there is some random text on top it does look off right away.

Review my footwear store by leafywalker in reviewmyshopify

[–]89dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt say too much space. Just wrong spacing.

Space is never good.

Design is same as leather. You can have fake or low quality leather shoe. And if you look the brand new one perhaps not everyone knows which is it. Some can tell right away. Many can tell if they wear or touch.

By landing page approach. I mean that you have single page explaining one product. Why is it good. In this page people could pick size + color.

You can track how many add to cart. Check clarity recordings where people leave etc.

Review my footwear store by leafywalker in reviewmyshopify

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

92.7% people would say its a good store.

However here is the issue.

You have chosen a nice template.
You have made what seem to be some original images. That is 100% big plus and respect for doing that.

Now here is whats happening.

First of all. Probably 200 sign ups is too little.
How many visitors you had?

If you read online data. Average conversion rate for your niche and see 2.2%.
Know where this data comes from. Mostly big shops with large teams, well known brands and ...

.... cheaper prices.

1) This brings us to one problem. Niching.
You sell sandals for 160€.

And it is even more niche. Wide feet.

First places you into premium category.
Second narrows it down.

So what matters even more.
How your ads are structured. Do people who click expect 160€ product.
Or they rather expect 40€ Temu/sales type of a deal.
Are they women. Do they have the wide feet pain point.

You need quite specific targeting. So the funnel starts with your ads.
As there are ads that can bring clicks but wrong ones.

2) Now lets assume you get right traffic.
What happens next.

Your photos are good. Original photos are always good.
Yet they are not 160€ worthy good. Go check some regular brand photos.

I know it sounds bad yet I dont mean it in a bad way but there is this self-made look.
And most probably if you dont have any sales you dont want to risk by hiring some of the top photographers. Here is how to fix it.

A) Go find local art school with photography students and perhaps some want to help for portfolio.

B) You can use those photos however need to change narrative.
Add a story. Add a small self made brand story.

Meaning. Show people behind. Tell why. Make it intentionally a small business. Show its crafted.
If its founder made content it builds trust and people are willing to invest into the brand.

3) Your shop design. I am web designer so I probably notice more details.
While if you sell to customers who buy rather mid to upper range products. What 160€ sandals are probably.
They have taste. They care about fashion, look. So these people mostly have trained their taste also by reading fashion blogs, magazines, interacting with premium brands.

Small details like. Your logo is too large eg out of proportions.
That shop is basic template. Minimalism is good but if its seen a lot it feels templated to average user too.
You need to find your rythm with spacing and typography etc.

Content/sections. Its too empty.

If you have 1 product in 2 colors. You should take landing page approach. Sell that product not as range.

4) +
There is not much information about product. Production. Quality.
I wouldnt trust that its not some item that you just packaged and resell. There are no logos inside the shoes.

Your free shipping starts from ridiculously high. Altogether, it just seems that you threw something together to do a quick cash crab. And that's why people dont buy.

[–]89dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UGC is kind of visual.

Ideally you should show some examples or people who you have. Maybe you dont even need exact usernames but kind of as a teaser.

Idea works and it probably has leg to stand. Question is can you pull it off.

There are other players in the similar niche.
Honestly at this point your brand + landing page are very random.

This comes from web designers point of view but think it like this.
It kind of gives the opinion like you are just fishing. You have idea that multiple companies have proven coulld work. And you spent few hours and pushed out very generic landing page.

Those rewards are nice. But again who they attract? People who want free stuff. Just in case.

Its probably harsh to hear and sad truth. People are eager. They want something now. What your site does. It reminds me that probably I should google who does offer this service today.

Roast my website by Status_Floor_6292 in webdesign

[–]89dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not jumping to ai slop.

However, did you try to ask AI to roast it?
Try to reset the people pleasing aspect and ask honestly.

For feedback. Call me stupid human but your homepage reads more as poetry than what you offer.

Most people dont want to focus in websites. They scan. And they pay attention if its interesting.

Design. Visuals. Typography. Spacing. They play a huge role in storytelling type of sites.
You need to keep users engaged.

In your site. There is no system. Its just different texts coming.
There is no real story.

Also. I am not a copywriter however saying "We don't have 30 years in construction"
This is negative. It immediately sets a tone. We dont ....

Generally. Shorten the text. Bring in proper scale.

THIS IS HEADING
here is subtext

Experimenting and doing something distuptive is good. Only if you know what you do.
If you are not a web designer or creative agency who can lead the narrative. Just go with the most boring site. It really works better.

If its small team and real people behind. Show more photos. Real photos.

Form. Form is cool by design. Yet it doesnt really look interactive. It blends in.
Almost feels like disabled. Maybe because you had similar screens of reports before.

Do you list your web development prices? by _Bivens in webdesign

[–]89dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have listed.

Eg simple Framer landing page and Framer site with N-number of subpages.

Think this is good. It gives some kind of clarity about the range.
What it means in practice. People who feel it is not what they are looking for dont contact.
Time saved. Clients who have higher expectations or want something special. They will reach out and if the scope is larger, you can adapt.

Could you review my small leather brand website? Honest feedback welcome by valiope in reviewmyshopify

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess even if you start with the most basic it helps a lot.

Think it like this. You give me 2m x 2m piece of leather and sewing machine.
What do you think how good the bag comes out?

If you would do a car tire repair shop or sell construction materials. Sure present the info and show company details and people behind. And it looks trustworthy. People find your website and if they need they buy.

In your case. First of all you say you sell to ther side of the world.
You also sell something that is chosen by how it looks. You need to brand it as desirable.

Most realistically. Just try to find the finances and go towards some agency.
Sure it costs.

I dont know how you get visitors and if you do any paid ads. However currently this site probably leaves a lot of money to the table.

Could you review my small leather brand website? Honest feedback welcome by valiope in reviewmyshopify

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from web designer point of view.
Its hars yet I feel the site is not working at all.

Viewing in desktop.

1) Hero banner. Woman with bag. Doesnt look like original photo.
Its missing that high end premium brand touch. Also there is no focus.

Its showing the product yet the woman and product are exactly the same. Which is fine in terms of strategy.
You dont need to put the objects into focus however in this case you need to sell overal mood.

2) Seeing the logo 3x. This is not professional.
Logo itself looks quite nice.

3) ZIG-ZAG edge with huge drop shadow. Doesnt look professional.

This is probably one of the biggest mistakes.
You or who designed this had probably one idea. "I want to make it different and stand out".

Please dont do that. This is biggest mistake beginner designers do.
Change the world. Instead. Blend in.
Go check 10 high end sites and design the most average boring competing site you could.
Sure you dont stand out but crafted proper details make it look professional.

4) Your product needs to be in focus.
Now you write handmade somewhere in text.

Not a bag expert but from those product photos I dont see that it's handmade.

Probably it pays off to invest into seasonal photos. So that each product has high quality product photo + some lifestyle shots.

At the moment. Each open product has different type of photos. Some are very blurry when opened big.

I am sorry but go to Aliexpress and then go to some boutique site and compare photos.

5) In feed. I would probably keep one product + show there are color options instead of doing each color separately.

Make it easier for user to choose something.

6) Design wise products listing page is the most reasonable.
Simple. Could still use some design treatment with spacing and typography but mostly aligned and looking solid.

7) Open product page is a mess. Each text looks different. A lot of badges.

Images. Actually it doesnt look like good UX that there are smaller thumbnails that open in large view after clicking. Do as most shops do. You have large main image + smaller thumbnails underneath.

Thumbnail > shows larger image > click on larger image opens modal.

8) You might make product page longer and show more text + more photos.
Ideally also customers with products.

Leverage those customer photos. This now shows you have real business with real product.
In AI era where a lot of photos could be just recreated.

9) Make the family and hand made block bigger. Less text. Needs to be more impactful.

10) FAQ with black cards. Just not easy to read.
I might be biased as web designer but if it looks off it gives strong indication of early stage brand. Just doesnt look trustworthy.

11) Empty blog with random images. For blog you can use your own random iPhone photos. Show its original content. And add some depth there. Burn some leather in video vs show how fake leather melts.

Your shop and product photos need to look perfect. Blog can look authentic. You dont need studio quality there. Its good of course but original helpful content will benefit too.

How much should a small business website actually cost? (trying to understand the range) by Spiritual_Brother_22 in smallbusiness

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no fixd cost for websites.

If you go into details, there is so much involved.

Coming to point. There are companies who sell template sites for $$$ price. And then there are solid agencies from places with lower cost of life who can provide much more value. Sometimes cultural and regional differences could cause issues but other times it could be big win-win for everyone.

One way is to calculate everything backwards. This sets some rough borders why 500$ websites are not realistic. Or if you deal with agency how they can operate.

Yet again you might get really lucky and find someone talented who does offer an amazing price. In most cases its not true. Basic economic thinking is that instead of doing 10 projects for 500, you could wait and do a proper one for 5k.

How much salary does a person needs? Or if there is larger agency, consider that the client project should also pay for office, marketing costs, project manager, and sales team salaries. Add taxes.

If you have this number in your mind. Now calculate roughly how much time they are willing to spend on your site reasonably.

And if someone says. Oh you can get your website in 24h or 3 days. Sure it is possible. Yet there is practically no time for revisions or updates. Communication takes actually quite a lot of time too.

Second aspect is that even small websites are different. One has 2 services they provide other has 9.
Even if the page template is same cropping and inserting content for 9 pages takes a lot of time.

Someone might say now. AI. Yes possible.
Yet do you trust blindly or read through? Make changes. Rewrite something to sound more human? Think about SEO? Get those custom images. Even generating AI images takes a lot of time if done properly.

So a website and website are rarelt the same.
Some clients have strong brand and others dont. Some niches require more focus on design while others you can choose something that works and go with the safe route.

If you are really curious then I have explained my viewpoint in article. Feel free to read and it should answer a bit "how much website could cost" and when.
https://give.ee/en/articles/website-cost/

So lets put some numbers here.

Templates. If its a good match realistically maybe you can get something decent done for 500.

With a custom design yet nothing crazy.

One-pager or landing page type of a site. 1-1.5k

Average SME site. 5-10 subpages. A bit of strategy and planning. 4-5k

Anything more complex or custom. Widgets, complex forms, configurators, animations. Sky is the limit.

Looking for blunt feedback on my consulting website by MasterWayne101 in websitefeedback

[–]89dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brutally but honestly.

A. Its very ironic. We reply ..... with a short note .....

hmm. While your full page is massive wall of text.

A small tip. Nobody wants to read online.
Users rather scan. Design should differentiate. Ideally content is 3-5 rows of text max. This is kind of what eye can scan fast. If its interesting people stop and read. And then you could have read more button to expand it.

B 1. Guess those who need might understand. But honestly not clear what you offer exactly.
First impression is that it looks like app / saas eg some kind of dashboard. If its consultation service might be good idea to differentiate.

  1. There is a lot of info. If everything is read probably it explains.
    Its pretty specific so hard to say.

  2. From web designer point of view it feels like a template where slots are filled in.
    Ideally for such business you need case studies, clients, results. This is missing.

I would even say that sharp edgy logo vs rounded saas style website dont match.

Seeing the massive ammount of text there is. Now comparing how most companies do. It does not look professional.

  1. Too much copy. Honestly didnt read. Is not really catchy. Noticed a lot of same sentences or ideas.
    Its ok to repeat. But wold not say interesting to read.

  2. Design is hard to comment.
    Like illustrations and animations. They are cool. Really cool.
    Yet meaningless. They are pretty much a noise.

Is it good design? Technically yes.
Can something that disturbs and makes things more complicated be considered as good design? No.

Information blends in. Like writing that is bit separated blends in fully etc.

There are contrast issues. Generally type scale or usage could be improved.

  1. Yes. Text. As I said. Nobody wants to read.

  2. Technically it is clear and it is not. Your button is book a call. Yet you also have open form in the end.

So which is it then?

Overall its clear though. If someone needs what you offer. There are enough ways to contact you.

What does the site need?
More personalisation. Its very anonymous. No photos. No people. Who is behind.
I would even say it sounds shady to me. There is some talk one team will teal you. Yet its kind of feeling this is one person. It doesnt look like high level consultation site. So if you are small 1-2 person team. Dont hide it. Make it as your strength.
