I walk away with the impression of a talented logo/brand designer—perhaps one of the best! But not a particularly skilled UX designer.

Oh, so you admit they _may_ need revisions, you just won't do it. Not exactly reassuring.

Or, perhaps like most creative endeavors, can be endlessly-fiddled. It's an interesting idea - not sure I'd buy into it though. The 'no retry' thing is a bit meme-y.
The second creative can prototype, I don't think there's a particular bespoke 'thing' - why involve the first? If I want something low-investment/effort, there's Fiver/whatever.
This seems to rely on the idea that this person will truly give you the best... when I think it's more interchangeable than they're presenting.

#34That was probably the worst possible background given the amount of scrolling required. And he's a designer?
Just curious. What kind of background would you use instead?

#35I don't feel qualified enough to judge the quality of the design itself.
However, presenting your ideas in the form of a chat log, just like some philosophy books that explain their point by using dialogues is a creative approach.
I guess this would also work well when presenting written interviews. :)

some sort of pattern which can be considered in one of those new minimalist designs like from teenage engineering.
I don't know but I also couldn't read the whole thing because dark reader messed up the colors so I would probably have such website work well with dark reader

It’s just an FAQ with different styling. “Conversational” FAQs aren’t rare, though they usually tend to be humorous too.
Re: I designed my website to look like a chat log
#38Interesting idea, but to be honest, my first thought was "somebody should really type up that long Slack thread in a more accessible form and put it on our wiki so that it's accessible to others not part of the conversation".
It fits well with the current trend of "chat as UI", but I think this is fundamentally not a very good paradigm for knowledge sharing, so this probably has a pretty short expiry date as a novelty thing.

#39I like it! By being novel, it effectively pitches the product of the website. Others mentioned how its a bit scroll heavy —I also found myself scrolling for the pricing (should be the second question, perhaps)— but all the info is on the page, so you'll get there if you're interested. Some feedback to consider:
- Is the strict refund policy really necessary? Since you screen clients I'd expect you rarely (- The portfolio is really nice, I'd find a way to break the format a bit to include a carousel of latest work. Could also be higher-up, the third message even.
- On mobile it switches the response bubble to the left?
- Consider centering the logo; adding some padding-top for mobile.
- It's not clear where you are doing business from, in the EU this can be helpful to know for tax reasons.
- Not having a contact-form in the style of a composing a message at the bottom feels like a missed opportunity!

If you expect revisions, it's offered as well, just as a different service (and price).
