TOP 5 WEBSITES EVERY WEB DESIGNER SHOULD VISIT: Women Portfolios 2022

[@hammedbankole2429]

I am here for the last website, for Fungi!!!! She is a big inspiration to the design industry here in Africa. Love from Nigeria 💚

[@kudakwashemlambo5092]

A Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 got featured! Here for Fungi & congratulations to everyone else

[@bySterling]

As obsessed as I’ve been with next level modern designs for literally since my first days w Adobe Muse and multi layered mobile friendly parallax almost 10 yrs ago, I’m constantly having to scale back my fav design elements as 80% of most client sites visitors want to view what they don’t have to struggle to navigate and appreciate (most humans want what they know, not to get frustrated figuring out something new, especially when most visitors in our ADD day and age will give 3-5 secs to a site click) Even for myself most of these are a bit too unique but hats off 100 to them for going full tilt indeed!

[@verbon47]

that is the thing with design, and why i am designing my own portfolio without all the bells and whistles. whenever i look at these portfolios it looks absolutely incredible, but i am just frustrated that there are so many animations.

[@jackiemasek8302]

The biggest takeaway for me was the audio testimonials. That’s beyond genius! My iPhone has a voice recorder… for free! So it wouldn’t be difficult to whip that out and ask the client to just speak into the “mic”. The sites you chose are beautiful but I do wonder how effective they are at booking more clients.

[@senox_hd]

I think these Site are not made to get more Leads, these are fully booked web-designer with huge companies working with. Its more about showing the creativity. They dont want more Customers, they just want cool projects.

[@bobjohnson3345]

holy shit, the last one is genuinly insane. One of the best portfolios i have ever seen

[@tonyaxle8887]

Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@apresthus87]

To me, these animations are just way over the top. Granted, you can get away with more stuff on a portfolio, but no one wants to really sit and wait or be obstructed from viewing the actual content. If you run say an e-commerce business you quickly discover that you have to throw away all those fancy things, because they hurt you a lot more than they help, and what matters is getting sales, not how flashy they look.

[@KabbaModern03]

That’s why you design a website that’s geared towards the target audience. These are portfolios, so they’re going to be geared towards other creatives, art directors, or someone who is trying to hire them. An experienced designer knows better than to not do these for sites that will be used by people outside of design. That’s why we have stakeholders and product managers to keep our creativity from going too far outside the box.

[@apresthus87]

@@KabbaModern03 Sure however in most cases, at least in bigger companies, the HR people are the first one to screen you and they have lots of applicants to go through and dont want to waste time. Im a developer, so its probably more extreme for the positions I target,but still. But I admit some of this is just personal opinion, I think its more bad UX than it is imoressive to look at.

[@Ioannnify]

Great websites! I would love that Flux can show us how to create these animations! Without these great animations on their websites, I don't think they would stand out as much.

[@aryaa7334]

god i love the last example. Fungi went ahead and used her culture in her design. thats absolutely badass and unique

[@mrdubesir]

Wow!!! So Impressive. I love the last one, the whole colorful African vibe going on is working for me. I haven't (in my own experience) come across such a fun interactive website.

[@Pawy84]

Love the last one, Girl from Zimbabwe❤ Hello from Norway🙂

[@bbndry]

As much as we'd like to design some next level websites that interact with cutting edge design and human friendly user experience it's almost impossible as the landscape changes so fast. And clients want what they want, a basice home page and contact use along with a portfolio and services as it does the job. What has never changed is accessibility and give the users ability to navigate to where they want to go. The limitations are our flat screen devices, if AR and VR could be implemented websites will truly come to life. I can imagine the Doriane website as part of a VR/AR experience where we can grab the animations with our virtual hands and on e-commerce sites we can literally examine products with a combination of VR and AR, visualise sizes, try clothes and touch "products". These websites are really a designers dream to break conventions and they do what they feel like doing, which is admirable.

[@TStark-vj2wo]

I agree with (at this time) two critical posters below. I'm down with being creative, but as portfolio sites (to get work) some of these are not going to viewed for long. To me there are elements on some of the sites that look like they were haphazardly placed on the screen, functionality that is questionable, and possible good creative ideas that weren't really thought through when applied/constructed and for a portfolio site for possible clients to view (vs one that you are testing ideas on) that might cost you work.

[@papluha32]

That voice messages were really great idea!

[@varunmohan7055]

Would lovd to know how we can create it in webflow.. especially Marija Vitasovis website with the image transition..

[@seoulkimchi50]

The question is how do you make such portfolio and where can I watch and learn?

[@The_Idea_of_Dream_Vision]

Nice to see Fungi Dube mention here.

[@OpenBookmarksCo.]

the voice is good, and the video is also nice 🎬 it displays the relationship between designer and client 🎉

[@taku6157]

Hey thank you for featuring Fungi, here for her🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tinomutana3487]

I'm here for Fungiiiiii!!!!!!!!

[@GoingMerry1876]

[@solomonjadhav579]

Really awesome stuff you had share to us.plz show some great website of ecom. Afterall your insights are always outstanding and helpful. God bless u

[@manvsgaming07]

Love these websites! But i have a ques. Are these websites made in webflow or it’s pure code?!

[@FluxAcademy]

I actually didn't check, but I do know Fungi's site is done with Webflow

[@manvsgaming07]

@@FluxAcademy i see thanks for reply:)

[@Iam_cmphiwe]

I love Karina"s ❤❤

[@MBAinternetmktg]

Question: how did Marija Vitasovic (2:05) create the header and slicing effects? Is this something I can create using WordPress CMS? Thank you

[@tirtharajchakraborty2755]

It would be great if you show us how to design in figma and develop that's kinda website in webflow...

[@FluxAcademy]

coming up!

[@mikepcs7]

Amazing keep insipring brother

[@sevencaye]

About Marija website, it looks good however the navigation is not clear. A normal user will struggle to navigate.

[@odedejikehinde6514]

Nice Website designs. Thanks for sharing this Flux. Going through this top 5 website, I'm starting to think if what you mean by "good" website is a website defined by its animalistic feature ? I'm Caleb from Nigeria, currently undergoing a training on Full-Stack development and for the Front end part of web dev, I've always used your contents here on KZbin as a guide, they help me understand the true concept and art of web design and dev.

[@maansibislam977]

Love it!👏

[@Gearyco]

Top 5 websites for atrocious UX. IMO, this is a good example of designs getting in the way more than anything else. The last one is the best.

[@innocentnwafor4396]

No 2 website is my favourite

[@valeriabellettinijerves4308]

Do you guys recommend wordpress 4 web design?!? Thanks.

[@ishanksuryavanshi9829]

Looking forward to the Figma course. When can I expect that to be launched?

[@seenuz1]

Awesome 👌

[@CMBPhotoVideo]

Those voice testimonials are they load heavy or not really?

[@kaylaAdryanna]

How can we create the custom cursor animations like Doriane has on her website? Would love a tutorial on this please!

[@XDROUGIII]

Hi, I dev the Doriane website. I used a codrops from mary lou, integrated on a custom webflow. Send me a message on instagram, I will explain you in details if you want.

[@roter13]

Does anyone know of any websites that do data visualizations well? Also, does Figma have any plugins for data visualization?

[@hillsarmedia]

[@SamyadeepPurkayastha]

how to make these websites? SquareSpace?

[@fabrizioabate9645]

@fluxacademy 10.04 - Is it possible to create this covering effect while scrolling in figma or webflow? Thank you

[@DamHansen]

When you do projects as Marija did with Louis Vuitton, won't you then have problems with the copyright of the images and the logo?

[@FluxAcademy]

I'm not a lawyer so can't answer properly. My personal approach would be - do it, state that it's self initiate, and if they ask you to take it off, take it off. I can't imagine a big brand suing a small designers to a "suggested redesign"

[@nikb7995]

To be honest I thought all of them were meh except for the last one the African themed one that was good

[@oyegokeamina5864]

To us designers and developers those websites are Amazing to none designers and developers those websites will be difficult to use.

[@ByInside]

Me: How easy was it to understand where you can find a portfolio on the website? User: Very difficult This kind of websites are a joke. Yeah the animations might look cool, but to use it it sucks, it’s terrible. It provides a headache. Ppl who are hiring or just in general looking for a designer to collaborate I bet they leave once they see the amount of interactions. GG.

Admiring female designers is beta male. Isn't there male web designers video? Thank you.

[@dorianea2125]
