Presuming it's OK to share own site: after countless iterations and lots of suggestions and feedback from HN and others, we're pretty happy with ours: https://neosmart.net/EasyRE/ Tells you what it does, tells a story, and then takes you right to the action. And it converts well for the market it serves. Feel free to tell us what you think still sucks about it, constructive criticism > positive feedback.

I like the landing page. Its got the right balance between text and whitespace/images etc. Its a shame though, that when you click the links, you navigate to pages that adopt a different theme entirely. It would be better if all the site were themed the same.

Actually you can Alt (Option) click that icon to enable Do Not Disturb without actually opening the notifications center :).

Mac pro tip: Option-click everything . It's remarkable how many secrets are lurking behind near every UI element. And once you've option-clicked, also option-shift-click, command-click, control-click, etc. An easy favourite is the Wifi menu bar item. Option-click to see all sorts of useful info about your current connection, including IP address, MAC address, connection speed (Tx Rate), the amount of noise, etc. And…

Yeah, pretty much every icon in the menu bar has an Option-click alternative. I very often Option-click the volume button, which lets you select input and output devices without opening the sound preferences pane.

If you're looking to build a great landing page, I found this resource suuuuper helpful when designing our landing page: https://www.julian.com/learn/growth/landing-pages "I want you to think of landing page optimization from the perspective of desire: Conversion = Desire (Increase this) - Labor (Decrease this) - Confusion (Decrease this) It's less work to reduce a visitor's labor and confusion than to increase desir…

Some criticism: I don't really like the buttons style, but more objectively, you should center text and take a look at their size, it made me super uncomfortable when I opened the page. Also, the "Try us for a week" at the bottom is shifting the page in the background to the left, leaving 20px of white space or so in the right side (Windows, Google Chrome). The "Start Trial" button that appears after clicking on "Try us for a week" looks much better.

I feel the Dropbox redesign was horrible. The look & feel just doesn't make sense.

The colors, the fonts.. It's like they asked an eccentric fashion designer to make the webpage. Really, does anyone like it? o_o

All I see is an orange screen and “Crowdbotics”…

It's one of those silly damned things that could and should be a static page but is served as JS instructions for building it in the browser instead.

No, I too see a massive title header occasionally of you scroll up you can glimpse a page of tiny images very briefly as it scrolls under the massive header.

Request desktop site fixes it, though the loading screen is annoying AF.

Note they are using real people's faces without permission (through randomuser.me / uifaces.com) for the avatars in those 'funny' sample notifications. https://twitter.com/ohhoe/status/970753038406373377

They do have permission though. The people used granted permission when they submitted their face to uifaces.com, in fact they even went so far as to submit their faces to the "authorised" section on uifaces > those awesome folks allow their faces to be used on live products They might not have ever imagined that their faces would be used in this manner, but they did give their permission.

If you read further down the Twitter feed, it's clear that this particular person didn't think she'd granted such permission, and the whole setup looks questionable on other grounds as well.

Putting someone's face next to suggestions of serious problems like drug abuse or STIs on a public site without their knowledge or explicit consent at least raises ethical questions, and then trying to argue that it's obviously a joke when apparently the person in question has been receiving concerned mail from friends who didn't know that makes it pretty clear that any joke has gone too far. The dismissive attitude of the site developer just makes it worse.

Quick question. Where do the designers / developers find assets? Or do they create them from scratch? One such 'assets' I've manage to find recently is https://mockuphone.com (no affiliation), but apart from that there isn't much besides the usual. Fontawesome, pexels and the lot.

You can find a lot of design assets at sites like graphicriver.net (from envato) and creativemarket.com. Both these sites feature textures, backgrounds, icons, fonts, customizable mock-ups etc.
