#12I think it might be more interesting (and feel less like a FAQ) if the questions came from different personalities rather than trying to assume the visitor's internal monologue. Maybe at the bottom the visitor (who has been catching up on the 'chat') can be encouraged to join the conversation in a way that fits into the format more naturally than just the email link. Overall, still refreshing to see a different take…
Thank you for your feedback.

#13It's definitely an interesting concept, but I'd be concerned about the lack of any kind of visual information hierarchy. What is the user's eye's supposed to be drawn to? I could imagine a scenario where a recruiter flipping through candidate sites as quickly as possible would immediately write it off.

#14this is neat. i like the guy's confidence. the animations on the work page are very framey for me, not sure if that's by design
What do you mean by framey, you mean not very fluid perhaps?

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.

Correct. Choppy, not smooth; it reminds me of playing a video game with performance issues, like the animations are running at five frames per second or something. Similar to this random video I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOqNAgBHMzE

#17I found myself scrolling through most of the site. Unable to focus my eye on a specific block, on important information. It reminded me of the “I ain’t reading all this, congrats, or sorry it happened to you“ meme :)
There is a reason people reuse design patterns. Users have an expectation of how things work. It does force a certain boring homogeneity. There’s a trade off.
Hope you can keep experimenting!
