    Although I am an advocate for good design in reality all that matters in the end is if the website is getting any results. I can guarantee that most of those flashy sites really throw the user off unless it's done well.
    A website might look good visually but perform horribly. At the end of the day looking at a website from the outside does not say much. We want to know if it is reaching the goal it was set up for.

      That's true, if you make a beautiful website that's hard to use or inaccessible, people will leave. Similiarly, if you create a website that works and presents information well, but looks ugly or fails to fit with the client's brand, no one will want to use it. I think he shows good examples of "ugly" websites with poor usability, and somewhat flashy websites but still much more usable.

      @@Adam326 You make good points, but I always point people to websites, especially funnels that are super ugly or even websites that only have copy but still convert like crazy, due to the copywriting that speaks to the target audience. But I always say that good design that does not obstruct the user, but works in favor of the goal of the website will always win. There is a lot to learn from the video though. The creator did a good job to point out some things to keep top of mind.

      @@Adam326 Well I've worked in CRO for many years, and I can say that if you have an amazing copy, even a Google Doc will work better than most of the most flashy websites out there. To me, looks are maybe 10-15% of what makes a website... Unless of course, you need to create a brand, then looks matter

      I'm working for a wholesale company and their clients prefer simple and easy to navigate sites more than those modern site these days. One of my older colleague told me that more flashy means less trustworthy since those who buy product from us are older people who is not familiar with today's moving things on the internet

    • @TheMightyTata
      @TheMightyTata Рік тому +7

      Agree here. A lot of the creativity being showcased in the industry lately is visually appealing, but the real purpose of a website needs to be thoughtfully considered. Form follows function, not the other way around. A potential client of your own client is looking for answers and they want it fast and without friction. if you make them work for it because your layout and design is unfamiliar, difficult to navigate, or just overwhelming, they're going to leave. Websites aren't supposed to be hung up in art galleries, they serve business cases. They should be as delightful as possible so these kind of things are awesome for inspiration, but the takeaways you implement in the real world need to exist within the constraints of usability and usefulness. Low code tools are creating a wave of euphoric forgetfulness on these critical matters.

    That first website, "Merch Redefined," used waaaaay too much animation in the hero. People will have trouble focusing with the moving text colors and all those little boxes. Plus it was still hard to tell what the purpose was. I agreed that a lot of the "amateur" sites had some major design issues but most of the "professional" ones, while designed visually better, made me wonder about things like responsive layout and accessibility, especially with that last form.

      The accessibility piece has always been a core part of my applications/designs and many many of the companies I have worked with treat it as an after thought if they even recognize it's importance at all. It's usually about prioritizing flashy and trendy designs without too much thought for the true efficacy of the site.

    The definition of him about PRO websites is the one that have lots of Visual effects.. By the way most of the real PRO websites created by professional webdesigner, have lots of visual impacts and it LOAD very fast, for the SEO and ranking of the website. For me The good indicator or metrics of your website if it done with PROs, is that it sells tons of money, and reach business objective, reach large customers

  • @killah3721

    The thing is that these good examples are truely great for the most part, you are showing case studies from the design agencies that have 20+ employees working on the website, including all the different skills they all possess. If you are working alone it would take a very long time to create all the different custom made animations, illustrations etc.
    Although I like the video, and you make some strong points it's not a complete picture.

      That’s cool and very understandable. I would even agree with you over some of the examples given; trendy and loud is not always, or even usually, better. Still, would you or your clients prefer the "noob" websites?
      I’d say, look at the "Pro" websites offered, and think of them as the extreme on a slider that goes from the "Noob" sites to the "Pro" ones. You would most likely want your sites closer to the "Pro" side of the slider than the "Noob" side. So, create/choose appropriately. You don’t have to go all out, but the point is, “Be intentional, and think of the experience you are offering your site’s visitors”

  • @luckerooni1153
    @luckerooni1153 Рік тому +27

    What I gained from this is that setting up the page to have a shaded (white/gray/black) head banner followed by a single color banner taking roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of the page with some low quality advertising material followed by a white page with a clunky and yet somehow formulaic layout is pretty amateur. Some of the pro layouts are a bit extra and distracting as well but they all agree that delivering an experience from the first moment and then keeping that going matters which ultimately is good. Treat each piece of information as part of a grand design that the user is going to feel an emotional reaction of some kind when they see it, and that emotion will reflect on the product, so be boring and lazy at your own risk.

  • @snerp

    One key aspect I think needs to be stated is that we as designs would love to create amazing looking designs all the time...we are essentially artists. Yet in real life, you still need to work with the client, and sometimes that means a lot of sacrifice on creativity regardless of how you present your ideas based on your knowledge and expertise. It's an unfortunate fact we need to navigate very carefully without frustrating the client...trying to at least meet them in the middle. I would say more clients tend to lean towards a simple and easy to read/navigate website. Of course this depends on what type of business your client is marketing, and how open they are to stepping outside the box.

    Thank you for the video. Very good examples.
    It’s also important to talk about the mobile version, which is visited more often than the desktop version these days. We are talking about 70% of users. Unfortunately, the mobile version should be simpler and without unnecessary animations to improve performance, and thus the site again becomes a little more boring.
    It is also worth understanding that beautiful design is not always correct from a UX point of view. It often happens that a beautiful website has no conversions, while a simple and clear website brings in significantly more money to the client.

    • @aidenberzins
      @aidenberzins Рік тому

      With the advances in CSS I don't think we have to minimize as much as we did in the past as far as animation and bundle sizes go. But it is certainly disappointing to see an outstanding desktop design only to a very minimal mobile design that clearly was lacking much effort.

  • @PeterIngersoll

    A whole lot of accessibility fails on many of these sites. Accessibility does not have to be ugly, but flashy needs to tempered. SEO isn't great either - with no links listed, I had to search for the sites and even with viewing the content on pages it took some work. Great design is very subjective, but also measurable based on achieving objectives.

      My thoughts exactly. A lot of really impressive designs are great for most people but not accessible for all. Some of the colour choices leave a lot to be desired. Black (or dark) on white might be considered boring but at least most people will not struggle to view it for longer than 10 seconds

    Creativity and all that are important and nice, but keep in mind that you're usually drawing a variety of people to your website. People with phones or laptops are going to exit a website when they start to feel uncomfortable, struggling with tiny font sizes. I noticed some of the background colors cause a difficulty to recognize the word. If you have too many things on a page scattered oht like that it could cause confusion to a customer. Creating a website where customers can read and understand is a priority, and then you can start being creative.

    Great work, nice explanation. It can be hard to actually make a reasoning for a better design, apart from saying just "look at this, it just looks better... because it looks better".
    The only one I don't really agree with is the "better" portfolio (3:02). This is one of those cool & modern websites, that are all over the place and super confusing. I have literally no idea which of those boxes leads where, or if it's even clickable. What's really funny is the designer of this thing possibly knows it as well at 3:42 (Jim Carrey on the right) 😄

      What is "very well designed"?
      "As long as the website is aesthetic enough and functional", I agree with that.
      One of the problems of the modern art today is that artists are making art for other artists and experts. Not for regular people, and that is why regular people can't connect with art, can't understand or feel it. Designers who design for other designers will find similar results.
      You don't have to be super creative and avant-garde all the time. In fact, trying that creates stress and anxiety, resulting in lower quality work.

    Gosh, I learned back in 2004 that flashy websites are terrible for SEO. And here we are in 2024 with the flashy websites. Nothing has changed! They are still terrible for SEO! If I have to choose between looking good and getting found, plus converting, I'll seek out the latter two every time. Good looking sites don't put money in the bank, converting websites do.

    How can I get web designers to critique my website?

    While I do agree with you regarding a dull website that doesn't express the purpose of the website from a designed perspective. Some of the pro websites that you showed, are the other extreme. Websites that are too busy with over the top aesthetics. These types of websites, is like watching a high fashion show where the models wear those over the top clothes that weren't meant for wearing. But solely about aesthetics. The average web visitor doesn't have the patient for complex navigation and flashy animation. To the visitor, it's a distraction, where they never come back. Simple navigation should always be the key, without overdoing it.

    I think it's your first year in design. So always ask yourself these two questions:
    Is it looking good?
    Does it work?

    Design is taste, trend and clout driven sale of the idea-impressioned value of products.
    It has objective problem solving parts to it ,for sure! but its still subjective as a whole.
    People who try to tell you otherwise are trying to sell you something imo

    Utility matters more now. Simple contrast. Flow the user through with purpose. Build for mobile view. Let go of the brochure type of website

    Ehhhhh......I don't think most of the advice given in this video is good. I've been working in the industry for 20 years and am a Director of Experience design for a larger agency. There's good nuggets in there, but sometimes simple is necessary based on your audience. Larger corporate clients have a completely different design system than a smaller company that needs a flashy landing page. It completely depends on the industry. Goals of pages are to get users where they need as quickly as possible. Sometimes that goal is a PDP. Other times it's just to learn something relevant. Most of the time, visual overload does not help that. Also, good luck dealing with a dev team with some of these pages lol.

    These examples of "pro" websites make me want to wash my eyes with bleach. Chaotic, crazy, impractical, and only suitable for your average low-grade web dev portfolios where you want to show your front-end dev capabilities. Web designs need to contribute to the success of the websites goals. Analyzing the designs without considering the audience and how they will see it is like trying to judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree.
    News-Flash: These flashy over-the-top chaotic sites confuse users, reduce engagement, and kill sales. A standard, cleaner, less chaotic, "amateur" website that is easier to read and more accessible/responsive wins every time. (unless its a web dev portfolio, then by all means, go nuts)
