Fantastic lesson on design and typography. A lot of clients will say they don't care about typography but this makes it clear that the point of design and typography is to make something very easy to comprehend at a glance (so simple a child could read it) and then to create the feeling of quality to give the brand a premium, playful or professional impression.

Thanks God! I have been searching for this type of video for the last 12 days. But today I got it, even with the updated information and from my favorite academy & favorite teacher Matt. I have seen your web design guideline video from 2 years ago. Much Love <3

I always appreciate Mat and Ran's web design analysis; they consistently bring value and inspiration. However, I was a bit confused by the feedback from Q-Industry on the user experience. I'm not a specialist, just sharing my opinion and the perspectives of others I've spoken with about this website.

The interaction created by this layout is intriguing, but in my opinion, it's too complex, making the website visually unreadable and less user-friendly. This hinders clear communication with the audience and creates a sense of disorganization.

I could be wrong, but, at the beginning, I found it difficult to understand what the website is trying to sell, and seconds of misunderstanding might lead to user bouncing. You might say that I'm not the target audience, but I worked as a sales representative in the industrial tools sector for two years, so I have some familiarity with this market.

Even though I understand that the website has a specific target audience, I believe there's a potential risk to the user experience. This complexity might prevent the website from achieving the best possible results.

what can i do if my client doesn't have brand imagery yet?

[draganasunaric]

as a beginner, how many of your videos should I watch before I stop watching them, so that I don't have to redo my designs over and over again?

I urgently want to escape from that escape room website!

I'm not buying your 800$ framer course full of info that can be found online for free or whatever this was about :)
