You can’t even get your single page website displaying well in mobile, it’s a hard no from me

What device are you using?

Provide them some context. Phone / browser. It looks fine on iPhone / Safari.

No, I wouldn't hire you to build my website, because I don't know who you are, nor what websites you have done, nor what stack would you use for my website.

Can you take a look at mine, please? wacdis.com Thanks!

I think it's weird why there is a huge blinking Play button, which cannot be clicked.

I also don't really like the massive cookie consent thing. Why do you need to use cookies? I run numerous websites for business and I don't use tracking cookies like this.

There are some random " [[ VIDGET_TEXT ]] " visible on your portfolio pages. And in there, there are only screenshots of the websites that you have done. While yes I do want to see screenshots of what you have done, I would also like to hear the story behind the website you made. What were the client's main requirements? What technologies did you use to make the website? Etc.

On the "Why you would work with us" section, 80% of the Support box is outside of my browser window and therefore I cannot read anything it says.

Your blog content seems generic SEO thin content. While you can post this kind of content too, we all need 'em SEO juices, but I would also like to read something personal. Such as stories of what you are working on, the technical difficulties in it etc. Something that says you are not a faceless robot.

On that note, I would like to know who you are and what you look like. Even your About page doesn't say anything.

Greetings from Portugal, by the way.

  1. GDPR … This cookie banner is the must. GA, etc
  2. VIDGET_ mark is my mistake, I’ll fix it
  3. First 10-20 have a link, but other - no. So many projects died during COVID and War in Ukraine.
  4. Boxes are scrollable… I don’t want to make the page 1km long
  5. Texts are generic. I’m working on it.
  6. What info needs to be in about?

What will our site look like as beginners?

It does not inspire confidence that I was able to send an empty contact form

This is commodity design. It's like selling apples at an apple market thinking you've got something unique.

The only people that buy this kind of stuff are people that literally don't know any better and just settle with something they see.

Honestly, no. Your site is a basic cookie cutter design. If your own site isn’t up to par why would I expect mine to be if you made it?
