I 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. :)

That 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?
Imustaskforhelp 16 minutes ago [-]
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

> 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.

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.

It’s a fun novelty. I’m not sure what else to say though.
I 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!

Love the design. Also love the attitude, wish we had more clear communication like this.
Would absolutely use this service if I was in need of a logo.

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

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.

What would a recruiter do on the website? It's not a resume, it's an actual service. Does that change your perspective? :)
infotainment 8 hours ago [-]
Hah, I missed that! That said, that does illustrate my point in a way; it's not clear what the site is based on a quick glance.
I had assumed it was a resume based on the "Hi, I'm [etc]" part at the beginning of the chat. Of course, it's possible most users would take the time to read through in detail, but I suspect a lot of people just do a quick look and bounce.

No worries, the people who would normally end up on my website are those looking for my service already, for them they need to get down to details instead.

I like the idea, looks really good.
I would put the example logos higher up in the chat is my only suggestion.

Thank you for your feedback, done! Added a link after the customer testimonials.

Sharing this as a potentially interesting, no nonsense, website UI as I think it facilitates exploration due to the inherent curiosity of reading a "conversation", lets the visitor be "in" and feels like a journey.
Initially I designed it somewhat as block of text FAQ but then is not as engaging, at the same time, the information is important for those who are making a decision (in this particular context) and so I figured this at least keeps it mildly interesting.
I am not aware of other designs like this (I searched), so would love to hear if any of you know of similar designs. I can't be the first one to come up with this idea haha
Please keep the conversation about the UI and technical aspect of the website rather than my service. Appreciate your feedback, thank you!

Considering how we're all "conditioned" to scroll through a chat log, by the time we come to our senses we've probably browsed through half of your landing page already.
Very nice!
macwarlock 12 hours ago [-]
I 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 at engaging visitors.
AlexDragusin 12 hours ago [-]
Something along these lines was considered but I decided against it because it might cause confusion, the user might think this is yet another AI chatbot etc thus figured this would be better, for the user to be in full control of the next step. I definitely see you point.
Thank you for your feedback.

The background does give a slight dizzying effect on scroll. His logos are good, though, and I like his no-nonsense attitude.

is the one logo guaranteed to be unique?
AlexDragusin 3 hours ago [-]
Guaranteed to be unique, designed by me, I've addressed this in the part mentioning AI and templates.

It's an interesting idea and well executed, but personally I'm usually so tired of all the other messaging-based information flows (work chats, family chats, etc.), my brain resists consuming any more "messages". What makes things worse is that here I'm reading someone else's conversation, so it subconsciously feels even more detached from my reality.
AlexDragusin 3 hours ago [-]
Valid point, at the same time it can be seen as it keeps you within a familiar format, which is meant to add a friendly touch to the relationship designer-client.

Tiny correction: "Can you tell me what's the design process like?" is grammatically incorrect and sounds weird.
Three alternatives:
What's the design process like?
Can you tell me what the design process is like?
Can you describe the design process?

this 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
AlexDragusin 12 hours ago [-]
What do you mean by framey, you mean not very fluid perhaps?
marifjeren 12 hours ago [-]
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
AlexDragusin 11 hours ago [-]
The reason for this is due to using GIF and I had to strike a balance between choppiness (frame rate) and file size. If I make it mp4's, on some browsers they don't automatically play. If you enter some of the animations (with red arrow), on the inner page things are more smooth as I mp4 them since the user can easily play there if needed compared to clicking on all the smaller ones on the parent page.
