Earlier quoted context omitted.

Show me a web site of design like in the examples with the value prop is front and center.

In the first few rows, I see— * Auditional: Powerful Audition Tracking Made Simple * piefi: One App to Run Your Money * Peerlist: The Professional Network You've Been Waiting for * Arrows: Collaborative Customer Onboarding Plans for Teams Using Hubspot Some of these could use some work, but they are front and center?

I don't get interested when something says "I'm a really useful x". I get interested when it says "I'm a really useful x because y".

You're the x I've been waiting for? Great, why?

You're x made simple? Great, how?

etc.

Does anyone know any resources that show a beautiful website and explain how to recreate it?

I think most of these are a bit boring. Not terrible by any means, but I think I prefer Godly if you're looking for some inspiration: https://godly.website

I can only assume this was posted to HN as ragebait. I think a bunch of these pages look great. I wish my brain could intuitively match typefaces, colours and illustrations in the way some of these pages do, but no, engineer brain go bleep bloop. But let’s be real: they’re way too marketing-y for the HN crowd. Don’t they know we like 10px text and as few margins as possible? Information density, people!

I used to tell myself the same, but after years of doing it you slowly build up a set of rules and intuition in your head. Practice, practice, practice.

While these godly sites are cool, I find them very annoying to read. I think that's just because of my expectations of what a website will look like, and not anything inherently wrong with cool animations

Why are the featured screenshoots still desktop-only? FFS it's 2024, we're supposed to be thinking mobile-first, and focusing on experiences for the majority of visitors (i.e., mobile), and yet "inspiration" remains "look at these desktop designs"? When does such irresponsibility become negligence? /rant

Yeah, full website design screenshots would look better, and easier to find the best, like here https://www.pickedweb.com

I scrolled a bit and 90% of the thumbnails at least were content free 10 words per screen "sites". Who has time to browse those?

I often visit www.awwwards.com for inspiration. In the past there was plenty of these websites i.e. Design is Kinky, etc. I also remember the early css reboots. But I'm going into nostalgia now. :)

This is a blast from the past! Right when I read Design is Kinky I was taken back to the days of Chank Fonts, Groove Salad, etc. Thanks for the memories of the good ol' days!
