I like the idea, but the screenshots (which were, perhaps by design, hidden behind a link) aren’t exactly compelling. It has that mid-2010s open source minimum-viable-website look
I personally don't like this. 1) I don't like this style even when web startups do it... too much vertical scrolling, empty space, giant images, and icons; and 2) it just looks weird for a serious site to look like a web startup.
This is a modern government website design I like better: http://www.kk.dk
Forgive me for criticising, but I'm not all that enamoured with the design. I find it too chunky, too slow, and somewhat adolescent.
I appreciate that the designer has put a huge amount of effort into the template, and has populated it with some excellent demo data, but I would never use this theme in a business application.
I mean: It looks like there’s no product behind that, all blog posts are just about laying out a vision with stock photos, and illustrations that have zero meaning. This + design of the website looks unprofessional and I’m not convinced to enter my email address to see what could happen in the future.
If you choose this approach at least try showing actual footage of it like you’re showing on your Twitter account. I know they are static designs so at least change example.com to something that looks like a live one used by others.
It doesn’t have to be perfect yet by being authentic you’ll have way more success. :)
I like the idea, and executing and launching is always good, but the example website (https://luxury-villa.incostadelsol.com/) looks pretty bad as a tool to sell a €1,499,000 home. The images desperately need some attention as they're blurry on high resolution screens, the design doesn't exactly say "luxury" or "high quality home", and there's way too much animation going on.
Yeah it looks like a scam website. No offense but there’s like a billion landing page templates out there these days that look slick and are easy to implement. This is pretty lazy.
The new site is also one of those sites you see and immediately close them because they look like all that SEO autogenerated garbage with zero content the web is flooded today. That might not be true for this site, but it looks like it. The whitespace, the generic cliparts, the stylized colors. Everything screams "form over function"
I feel the same way. It reminds me a lot of https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ where they pretty much say that they are server guys and suck at design. I respect that.
And the redesign in the article looks like someone grabbed a free theme and swopped some text and a image.
As honest as the text appears, I usually associate websites which look similar to this as outdated and untrustworthy. It's the type of website you often see for old freeware, which is why it doesn't seem so great to a potential user as they'll assume the website style may reflect on the service they're about to receive.
I would take a bootstrap style over this. Maybe that's just me.
