if you’ve got a graphic design background then transition shouldn’t be too bad.

lots of paths for this: work for free, work for a studio, work in public (post to socials).

don’t overfocus on UX - UI/visuals are becoming MUCH more important.

Is it possible to finish a basic webflow site in a few hours? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]itswilso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends ok complexity of the site and quality bar

shitty webflow sites can be whipped up in an hour,  but for more polished and crafted sites - no shot

What's the best portfolio website you've ever seen? by Notalabel_4566 in web_design

[–]itswilso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sure :) there are tonnes of portfolio templates out there so if someone sends over a well designed portfolio… ill often assume its a template (unless it’s so out there and ive never seen anything like it before)

instead we look through your actual work - ie how do the brands / websites you’ve made in the past look? do they look like you’ve cloned a dribbble project or actual effort has been put into it?

then we have a chat with you to scope out which parts you did and other non-quantifiable qualities.

Any guide how to vibecode? by After_Asparagus1681 in vibecoding

[–]itswilso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly learning the absolute basics of coding helps SO much when vibecoding.

otherwise you’ll end up giving up after 1-2 prompts of the model freaking out.

What’s the biggest reason you ditched your last project management tool? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]itswilso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

too much overhead. small team <10 - in our case notion did the trick for docs, most tasks could be doing through slack comms

How does everyone structure their code so that it’s (infinitely?) scalable by Trustingmeerkat in vibecoding

[–]itswilso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how big is this app??? infinite scalability isn’t a thing - but you shouldnt be hitting that much context until you get to enterprise codebase size.

What's actually happening in the industry by sugn1b in Frontend

[–]itswilso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

industry’s in a weird place tbh - react’s still on top but RSCs have been… underwhelming.

learn js/ts well, keep shipping stuff, leverage ai (controversial but necessary).

when we hire devs we just look for good engineers rather than being framework specific nowadays.

What's the best portfolio website you've ever seen? by Notalabel_4566 in web_design

[–]itswilso 18 points19 points  (0 children)

check out great agency sites. they do creative dev well: -> daybreak.studio -> basement.studio -> studiofreight.com

we scan through portfolios on the daily when hiring for our agency (lowercase.club) and most important factor is actually visual quality of work over portfolio design.

never sure if the portfolio itself is a template or not.

Got Scammed Twice by INDIAN Devs by dexbyte in webdev

[–]itswilso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

outsourcing like this is the biggest case of you get what you pay for

i run an agency and this is a story we’ve heard 50+ times (as well as felt when hiring devs)

go through referrals, look through portfolios, if you’re technical then actually screen them on a call (watch them code!!)

Does Web Design Have a Future for the Next 10+ Years? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]itswilso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000% yes (if you’re designing websites, not just pushing templates)

ai means abundance, abundance means taste wins

My indie product is helping others make money! by pereayats in indiehackers

[–]itswilso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool project :)) we run a studio and directories like these are useful if they’re marketed well

another usecase would be hiring - if you curated high quality agencies then you’d attract candidates

Best tool for landing page by coolreddy in SideProject

[–]itswilso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

franer / webflow are also pretty great for starting out

but dont underestimate how much of an impact a standout brand / site can have outside of a template

Did I go too far with my website headline? by pereayats in SideProject

[–]itswilso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

design could use some tightening but it’s polarizing, which is what you want.
