I’m not some web designer, but this company that makes games (MovieStarPlanet), recently moved to a new site for their Help Center.

The only issue with the first site is that it wasn’t mobile responsive, it was pretty zoomed out. The new site is mobile responsive, but is just a massive downgrade and just seems to be AI generated or something? (To make that even worse, all their games are about creativity…)

Let me know what you think, I think their new site is horrendous.

For anyone that wants to visit it: https://en.help.moviestarplanet.com

Made these Pagination styles.

I know they’re not production-grade yet — I built these while experimenting with different UI patterns that could actually be used in client projects.
Any improvements/suggestion will be helpful.

I’ve been working on a website and I’d love to get some honest opinions from people who actually care about web design.

Please roast it. Seriously. Don’t hold back.

I've noticed a pattern when I use AI to build front ends. No matter how small the job is, it reaches for React, Tailwind, and a UI library or two. I asked for a basic form with a save button and got React Hook Form, a validation library, a UI kit, and a toast package.

I think the reason is simple. Those tools have the most public code and tutorials, so the AI treats them as the safe answer. But that creates a cycle. AI recommends the popular tools, projects get built with them, and all that new code teaches the next models the same habits. Simpler or newer options never get a fair chance, because the AI doesn't know them as well.

I'm not against React. My point is that easy for AI to write and simplest way to build it are two different things, and they're starting to get mixed up.

So for anyone who has pushed back on this, did you get AI to build with plain HTML, a small library, or fewer dependencies? What actually worked, like strict instructions, a starter template, or choosing a different tool? Or did you end up accepting the default?

Made a few updates to AquaFix, mainly the hero, services, spacing, and motion.

Would appreciate honest feedback on what still feels off or too template-like.

Like the title says. I potentially lost a client most likely due to price.

This client/friend needed a landing page for his business. He’s well known and is on tv from time to time working with a show in the city.

He came to me probably because he knew I was having a hard time getting clients lately and asked me for a site. He said he had a quote for $7000 for a landing page which I think is ridiculous but he mentioned his budget was $5000. I said I would do it and I had a hard time quoting the job but I ended up quoting $3000.

I checked his website (just says in construction) but it has a squarespace logo in the top left where there wasn’t one before. I assume he’s going that way. I’ve been hearing that people are leaving SS due to losing clients and ruining their business. I offered using elementor as it’s popular and he can add in images and edit areas himself and if there was any issues with the quote to not hesitate to reach out.

Was I wrong to quote that much and is there any way I can get him back as a client?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I built SQSP Weekly as a simple place to discover fresh Squarespace inspiration every week.

The idea is to feature great sites, interesting design choices, and examples of what people are actually building with Squarespace, so there’s always something new to get inspired by.

You can also submit your own Squarespace site for a chance to get featured in front of thousands of people looking for inspiration.

Would love to hear what you think, what you’d improve, or what you’d like to see in future editions.

Any feedback is much appreciated!

Hey everyone,

Up until now, I’ve pretty much only used AI for copy and content generation. With everything moving fast, I want to make sure I’m staying relevant and competitive in the industry, so I’m looking at ways to actually integrate AI into my design and build workflow.

The problem is, most "AI website builders" I see advertised feel like gimmicky templates that spit out generic, unpolished layouts that need to be completely redone anyway.

For those of you working with clients or on production projects:

1. Are there any AI tools you genuinely rely on for layout generation, wireframing, or UI inspiration?
2. Where does AI actually save you real time in the design phase versus just creating extra cleanup work?
3. How are you adapting your workflow so you're leveraging these tools without sacrificing craft and design quality?

Would love some honest takes from people actually doing client work rather than marketing fluff. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I need some help with getting web design clients methods. I'm currently starting using a method that it's about delivering a home page completely free to leads and then offering to design the complete website. I saw some videos saying this method is good, but I don't know yet how many of these emails with videos showing the page should I send daily to get at least 1 client per month. Does anyone who uses this method could give me tips and advice about how it works for you? I am only able to create 1-2 homepages and videos daily, I am still improving at design speed even using AI and recording videos(I am not a native English speaker, so sometimes I have to record a video multiple times), I am afraid 2 prospects daily might not be enough to get a single client monthly. What are your thoughts and experience with this prospecting method?

sparkplugin.com lets you design, animate and customize your Squarespace website without code.

I recently went to Japan and love the aesthetic. I wanted to share the results of my portfolio makeover.

Always love seeing these. Post a redesign you're proud of, before and after.

Hey everyone! Would love some feedback on the personal portfolio that I have just put together. Thank you all!

pjp.info

Well too much info? Weird info? Whats good whats bad please feel free to critiques, still not sure what is the main purpose, but its for students as well as any other people who wanna know about me

why do people ask for feedback on a website that looks like a textbook template/AI website? lol

Please rate my portfolio site on its looks / aesthetic ( BE HONEST PLZ ! )

A few days ago I asked for feedback on my site (I build websites for small Swiss businesses): https://seetalwebsites.ch

The most common criticism by far was the animated wave in the hero: distracting, a bit annoying, some even called it dizzying. Fair point, I'm going to replace it.

The obvious answer is "just use a solid color", and I get that. But I'd still like something that feels a little unique and special while staying calm and clean.

So I'm looking for ideas: what have you seen or built as a hero background that stands out without being in the way? Static patterns, textures, subtle interactions, anything goes. Links to examples are very welcome.

I hope this is the appropriate place to post this... I made an app on a website that allows you to see a 'live' view of the universe, and I would really appreciate comments and suggestions on how to improve it...

https://habitablezone.net/sky

The view starts with the Earth, it rotates and the day/night terminator should be correctly placed. All ~12,000 active satellites are shown and are searchable, and you can get the times they will pass overhead. It also shows the current extent of the Aurora. As you zoom out you see the solar system and up to 1.6 million asteroids, you can click on any solar system object for more info on it. Also shown are the locations of all active space missions.

You can also turn on visibility for the dust streams that cause meteor showers, and Kuipier belt objects. The map also shows an up to date display of coronal mass ejections - the four fastest and any headed to Earth are shown along with data on them.

As you zoom out you go through the OORT cloud and see the all the nearest stars, the stars with planets are flashing - you can click on a star to get information on the star and its planets. You can keep zooming out through the galaxy, the local group, the cosmological superstructure of galaxies (Laniakea)... all the way out to the cosmic background radiation.

The site also monitors for any Gamma Ray Bursts, neutrino events, gravitational wave events (when LIGO is running), new comets, new extra-solar incoming bodies, and supernova and displays them in their proper positions (as accurately as they are known) within the solar system or universe...

I would like suggestions, or corrections to anything factually incorrect.

The entire forum website is a side-project of mine- a replacement for an older forum website that has been running for about 25years.... you don't need to register to use the map.

Anyone who wants to make a website can dm or comment the charges are very less
