who’s hiring design interns? 👋 let’s make some connections, please RT

@abnux We are actively hiring!

@LeilaHormozi True, but sometimes, I thrive when I am alone. It gives me insane amount of clarity.

Some days you will feel alone. Because you are alone. And that’s okay.

It is interesting how a client comes back to you after flirting with other designers and agencies once they realise that the value you were adding to their business was just incredible. Thumb rule -> Just continue to add incredible value, and the client is bound to come back.

Great product with bad distribution -> Will die soon Average product with great distribution -> High churn, but will still make money Great product with great distribution -> Unstoppable Distribution, not product, is the name of the game.

An extraordinary B2C product designer will be an extraordinary B2B product designer, BUT, An extraordinary B2B product designer might not be an extraordinary B2C designer It is easier to build for the savvy once you have built it for the masses.

The fourth most addictive thing in this world that no one talks about is to be around a group of smartest people out there. You be around such kind of people once and you will never be able to go backwards. The craving will just keep on increasing. Of course the first three are→ heroin, carbohydrates, and a monthly salary.

93% of entire web traffic is still driven by search engine. SEO is and will always be one of the biggest channel of driving traffic and generating leads.

First build a bootstrapped profitable business 💸💸 Use the profits from the business to fund your high risk high potential (billion dollar) bets. 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

@DannPetty @webflow I can pick it up :)

Looking for @webflow developers to collaborate with. Who is available right now?

@Harrywrites_ I was on a no sugar January. Feeling so happy to be able to stick with it. Will enjoy a brownie tomorrow and get back to minimal sugar post that. Next up: Improve my circadian rhythm -> Sleep and wake up at the same time.

@sweatystartup People do business with people they trust.

A sure-fire way to get really far in life (and make a lot of money): Be easy to work with. Rock solid, respectful, reasonable, consistent and dependable. Remember: People do business with people they like.

@shl Expensive labor helps you command higher pricing for your product / service which eventually makes them much more profitable than cheap labor.

Cheap labor is more expensive than expensive labor

@nstfkc This is the most efficient designer <> developer equation of building a tech product. The app looks great!

I don't know this guy, I never met him. This is the second project we are building. We have never get into a call to figure out the details. He does the design and I build it. This is the most optimal designer - developer collaboration. This is the other app we are building

@nick_elflaco Going above and beyond. Love it!

My retainer client only asked me for an email design this entire month. Without his direction, I created an entire email campaign strategy, a landing page with a multi-step form, and educational hub with a design layout.… in one day. He’s happy. Unlimited retainer model working good. Time to target public companies. Or companies spending at least 50k in ad spend.

7) CTA: Have too many CTAs (call to action) and the user will get confused and drop off. 7 out of 10 business websites fail to have a proper CTA. Having clear CTAs with the right placement and the right frequency is the key to increasing your conversion rates.

A good website is a great story told in a chronological manner where the layout enhances the website's message and usability.

6) Layout & Navigation: Layout holds great importance from user experience point of view. A website needs to have a) right arrangement of all it's visual elements & b) navigation for people to browse through the website efficiently.

A hero section should have two main objective: 1. Communicate the value prop clearly 2. Have a stellar hook to get people to scroll further
