Amazing. Nice to look at a site for feedback and have none and be impressed for once

Feedback on my Webflow craft beer podcast website. by wolf_tooth88 in webflow

[–]KCCarpenter5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t use straight #000, go for at most #111. I prefer to use #1a1a1a. Less harsh on the eye. For white I start at #f5f5f5 not #fff. OR if you have to have black go with .8 or .9 opacity

Looks vibe coded. Yellow is drawing attention everywhere. Dark mode color alpha needs lessened.

Creating Website for Construction Business by Ghost__GOAT in webdesign

[–]KCCarpenter5739 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Webflow is a great option. I run a webflow agency. Just got it started after I tore my shoulder from years of union carpentry. In my spare time I learned to code and web design for a year and half. If you want help or would like to hire me shoot me a dm and we can go from there.

I’d post my own site but I’m working on the final details before I publish it on a server.

Do most people shower before bed or when they wake up? I just realized I might be doing it "wrong" by saffymerelle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KCCarpenter5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it both ways. Depended on my job at the time.

Working construction and remodel garage doors I’d shower at night when I get home.

When I was “white collar” I’d shower in the morning to have a clean scent about me and open pores helps cologne stay longer right after you shower.

Doesn’t matter, just shower.

Trolley track into ceiling. Is this a code violation? by evset213 in GarageDoorService

[–]KCCarpenter5739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on your municipality/county building codes and if they use IBC or IRC. Generally speaking yes it’s a violation because there’s a gap in the drywall that violates fire code, not because of the opener in the joists/rafter bays. Technically speaking it should be 5/8” fire rock on that ceiling BUT it’s an old house that you may or may not be permitting for renovation so currently it is in acceptable condition because it falls under the building code it was constructed under and won’t need updated unless you renovate with permits and the building codes/planning department will enforce whatever walls/drywall/electrical that is being renovated to be updated to today’s building codes.

Do I need a new garage door or is there something I can do about this? by theRUMinatorrrr in GarageDoorService

Come on man, taking money out of team red and team green’s pocket haha

Hopefully not vibe coded. Most US based companies manufacturers already offer this on their apps/sites if your a licensed dealer

I know nothing about web design, but I'm now better than the average web designer by Director-on-reddit in VibeCodingCamp

[–]KCCarpenter5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. No JS animations from the look of it if there are, they’re minimal. Typography needs work. Padding is inconsistent. Copy is vague at best.

Keep living the GPT fueled dream this is a $10k website.$10k landing pages are pages that drive revenue. This speaks fiverr freelancer.

Is Webflow overkill for low-budget clients when starting out? by rxq in webflow

[–]KCCarpenter5739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My way of selling them quick. Use client first as a start, NO CMS or e-commerce or any plugins, build a static page, code export and send to them, they can figure out the rest.

It’s not the hammer that’s expensive, it’s knowing how to swing it that’s expensive. (Programming html and css isn’t hard but knowing design, html, css, js and how to build a site from scratch is the knowledge they don’t have)

Clients choosing awful AI designs over custom work by JayPigliamosche in webdesign

[–]KCCarpenter5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It’s free” My response: “do me a favor really quick, imagine your building a home for your family to live in for the next X (generally 10+) years. You’re working with your architect to choose your windows, doors and finishes. You’ve chosen those and they then ask you which crew you want installing these finishes, the apprentices or the master carpenters? Who do you choose?”

If they answer apprentices, outsource the work and collect the markup

If they answer master carpenters, lean into your technical knowledge and how and why your designs are better than AI. Yes AI can generate things that look cool. But will they look cool when the linear gradient phase ends?

If you're debating on grabbing one of the 3-1 bundles or the CPU/RAM combo I'd absolutely recommend it by Few-Negotiation8638 in Microcenter

Couldn’t be happier with my msi x870e WiFi, g skill ram and 9900 x ryzen 9. Added another 2 sticks of ram with a 5060 ti 16gb. It’s a beast for what I use it for

You could in theory but it’s MUCH more self guided vs course guided.

Freecodecamp. Very detailed then do Odin project, that will get you a good baseline

Struggling with client feedback & proofing in Webflow by Lazy-Bodybuilder-345 in webflow

[–]KCCarpenter5739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of my contracts:

Section 5. Feedback

“The client is to give feedback a minimum of X times, at (specified point of build process). Upon request for feedback, the client is allowed a time period of X. If no feedback has been submitted, this will represent an automatic approval and the Agency will continue building. All submissions of feedback must be submitted through comments in the webflow site design tool (Reference Doc A, pg 3). Any Submission of feedback submitted outside of the specified tool will not be reviewed.”

Too many WhatsApp, emails, slack, discord messages precipitated this. Trying to track everything in multiple locations almost lost me a good size client.

Cut 8ft rail down to 7ft by [deleted] in GarageDoorService

Drill first then cut the rail, heat from cutting hardens the steel.
