It'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.

#44I 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 port…
I've noticed the switch on mobile and I cannot figure out why yet (the wonders of CSS), it will come around eventually, I didn't want to hold back just for that, you know how many things never see the light of day due to misplaced perfectionism. Been guilty of it myself "back in the day" and it's part of the growing pains.
In terms of the refunds/revisions, when one does this for 25 years, one starts to see patterns, my best designs were when the customer was not "playing designer" with requests that often don't make sense from the design point of view and let me do my job, that puts me in the mindset of "what would I do if this was MY business" and thus leads to a better design.
Basically, I positioned myself to be able to provide my best, thus remove the concerns around refunds and revisions, unleash one's true potential is in the best interest of my customer.

#45Really nice idea, caught my attention for sure! Only the actual logos are pretty hidden - and load really slowly…
But the slow loading is not cool and shouldn't happen given how I am also employing an media CDN in the mix. Since you are the only one mentioning, I suspect it might be an issue at your end. The post reached front page at some point and no indication of trouble on the hosting end. Thank you!

#46I would suggest containing the chat in a framed container that spans the page, and scroll inside it. In the current form, scrolling the entire webpage makes it loose the chat box effect in my opinion. Right now it just feels like scrolling a html page with horizontal cards.

#47> I provide the final files for the design as vector SVG, thus you can have it modified by yourself Oh, so you admit they _may_ need revisions, you just won't do it. Not exactly reassuring.

#48Organizations can be so stingy and precious commissioning logos; I encourage them to take flyers on services like this one even if it’s not going to be their primary design.
The chat idea is fun. The writing is good which is most important. The text size and gap between blocks were big enough to be legible to semi-quick scrollers.

#49there's no mention of trademark or copyright search. is the one logo guaranteed to be unique?
Guaranteed to be unique, designed by me, I've addressed this in the part mentioning AI and templates.
I'm asking "when does the trademark and copyright search take place, who does it, if it uncovers that your work is not what a court would consider to be "original/unique", then what happens?" I'm expecting you would accept liability, but are you even aware this issue exists? are you at a bare minimum offering a do-over?
it's a mistake to deploy a new logo with no consideration of the intellectual property issues. sure, if you're small, you'll get a cease and desist and you'll switch to a new one. but if you achieve any type of success and are then sued, it's a major headache to deal with.
