Let’s go over some easily avoidable web design mistakes.

These are a dead giveaway that you are a novice as I only ever see these mistakes made by people who are new to the space.

About a month ago, we challenged our Instagram audience to design one homepage hero section per day for 30 days. The twist: They had to use the Unsplash Figma plugin to generate a random image to design around.

With hundreds of participants and thousands of designs with the hashtag #30DaysOfWebDesign, we can definitely say that the challenge has been a great success.

Though, as I was browsing the challenge hashtag to admire the work, I noticed some novice web design mistakes that I thought would be helpful to go over in a video.

  2. Hey Ran. I have no experience with web design, other than wix and such. I really like web flow and would intend to use it. But, where would you suggest going to learn the fundamentals of web design and psychology of it?

  3. As always I learned something good from his videos but I feel that the video would have been a bit more helpful if he would have said some suggestions on what he would do to fix it forAs always I learned something good from his videos but I feel that the video would have been a bit more helpful if he would have said some suggestions on what he would do to fix it . Even just 1 or 2 suggestions would give me a better idea of what he would be looking for in the finished product

  4. A week ago, I began my web design journey. I was a content writer and copywriter for a long time, and I was given the opportunity to learn web design using Divi.

    Although you talk more about Webflow, I find your content very informative and straight to the point. It is a valuable resource for web design newbies like myself. Keep it coming Ran. Thanks for awesome, easy-to-digest content!
