Before & After: Small Business Websites Redesigned

[@tonimaunde]

Indeed.

[@Figgen]

what would mobile look like for that??

[@Digitalism_]

I really love the idea behind the winner's redesign and particularly replacing the CTA from "Donate" to "Make a difference". The little things really does make the difference!

[@FluxAcademy]

💯

[@wioetuw912]

The new CTA is too vague. You could tell about the difference making in the headline or a subheadline but if the button is for donating then it needs to say so in a clear and unambiguous way. The most important rule of web design is that you must not confuse the user.

[@tikusblue]

@@wioetuw912 Im guessing when you click it though, it directs you to that donation window or section which will add clarification. Plus, you can already scroll and see the ability to donate too so i think it works. Many may also find it off putting to see a donation button right when you open the page, rather than information that includes other ways to get involved

[@hypeengineoverload]

@@wioetuw912 ppl will know. People are not that dumb they will get confused on something like this

@Col Which one did you like?

[@dustinoverbeck]

I agree, I think either the popcorn one or the business coach were the best redesigns. They were really transformative and had a layout that was well thought out.

[@arunashamal]

I think that is the weakest one! reason.. The logo.. The re-designer jumped into a new typography trend without taking the design cues from their existing logo... which is cute and flowy, and he just redesign it to look like stuck up software company with the swiss style re design. The disconnect between the logo typography and even the images kills it. It goes from nice fun and cute looking logo to a, typography of a financial company and photos of an instagram feed... This is why you shouldn't jump into trends without studying it first.

[@akashkumar121213]

It reallyy ...................... Popped Out

[@lika_cola]

The best was the Popcorn! It was a mind-blowing change. So unfair that it didn't win. You should give it the audience choice award :D

[@MichaelMarosi]

The popcorn was incredible

[@oussamabouyardane2431]

It's not only about how the design looks like but is about how can you improve the user experience as well and the last one did a really good job and really make a valuable difference to improve donation rate!!

[@tikusblue]

It was a more drasti change, but that doesn't mean it was abetter change than the winner. Imo the winner definitely deserved to win, they didn't only make it look better they also drastically improved functionality in ways that will 100% improve their business goals and amount of donations.

[@jayreambonanza1991]

It was the best one visually but on the marketing and UX side, it has lots of buttons and CTAs are all over the place in the hero section.

[@cristianjuarez1086]

[@abby7742]

Wow, the popcorn site is my fave. Well done, Fernando!

[@HDMOVIECREATOR2012]

That progress bar for donating was really smart!

[@bluemoon1972]

I think it was brilliant, but needed just a touch more clarity -- the big "300" didn't say enough; perhaps adding a few words would be helpful. Maybe right above or below the 300 it could say "Grow this number" or something like that.

[@HDMOVIECREATOR2012]

@@bluemoon1972 You are right! 300 was a little bit vague

[@tikusblue]

@@bluemoon1972 I think it should have clarified "300 students set up for a better future" or something like that.

Damn these were really good. I loved the popcorn web redesign more than the winners redesign.

[@kingkhi3497]

All them are major improvements the popcorn is my favorite redesign

[@bigfoot131]

Wow ridiculously nice 🔥the last site that won had a little going for it before the redesign but the popcorn and the personal business sites really needed a redesign a serious makeover! and the work they did on the redesign was night and day difference especially the popcorn site. All good tho, to be fair I think u should have a viewers choice award to be completely fair. A lot to learn here definitely will be taking some pointers.

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback - maybe we'll do that in future editions 😅

[@brownsugarbranding]

The business consultant redesign was the best in my opinion. Just really cleared up my confusion with the site.

[@unsignedhub]

I like to flow of the redesign process, it tells quite a good story. This is inspirational.

[@BBI-Brandboost]

A great competition and the designs shown look really good. It is always useful to see how other designers approach a website redesign where the process usually stays the same.

[@nicktolentino8250]

Hands down the Pipoca site won. I would have liked to see individual popcorn sprinkled on the homepage but the redesign is the best.

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks! 🙏

[@ajfrancis6365]

Lmao ikr. That design legit blew my mind

[@cheapwebdesign2695]

Always enjoying your videos! I really feel the way the consultant website has been re-designed so good! The designer took great effort to see what the website needed. To know that visitors DO NOT read, and for that sense recreate the website in a very clean color pallette. Same goes for the recruitment website. Love the color pallette and the way its redesigned. Clear information about what the website is about, and landing page in F shape with 2 CTA buttons in the main lander. I love it! Keep up the good videos ❤️

[@CPTZK11]

Concerning the winner website AWWA, an improvement I could see instantly is to change the colour of the call to action button because it blends in too much with everything else, it is the same color as the loading bar so is not easily distinguishable. Minor nitpick you could say but it really stood out to me the unusual blend of the call to action button with everything else, not much of a heriachy there. Nice redesign though!

I'm curious how the popcorn one looks on mobile ie. how that vertical carousel would interact on a mobile screen, or if the smaller mobile screen would break the hierarchy that's established.

[@liszcgsedt]

The issue I have with your design reviews (as also with this forst hot-doggy one) is that you suggest a design ... for desktop only. Considering how much dominant mobile search is and how much different the design nay neeed to be there, I am finding it a major deficiency. No SEO ("download menu? seriously?") or content considerations, which need to go hand in hand with the UX and what have you, either.
