The truth about award winning websites that no one is telling you about

[@by_huy]

What do you guys think about award winning websites? What are some other reasons why they're bad/good?

[@MaxJones123]

It’s a bit like runways vs. wearable fashion

[@by_huy]

Yea that's a good way to put it for sure

[@abhisheknandann]

The point you made about "it's like digging your own grave for beginners" is absolutely true, at least in my case. I started taking inspiration from these websites and when I was unable to match that level because of my limited skills, it was supper frustrating. Took me a whole year of procrastination to publish my own, because I was constantly comparing mine with these websites.

[@by_huy]

Straight up man, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad I'm not the only one haha, it took me quite awhile that I was missing the basic fundamentals as well

[@diyar.5064]

Ayyyyy you got a sponsor lesgooo, but aside, great content as always huy!

[@by_huy]

Hehe thank you 😁

[@dillaw7070]

bro we need a video on your notion setup for learning and handling your projects

[@SiddharthSharma-ei8os]

yes

[@by_huy]

Noted!

[@Diego_Cabrera]

I’m with you on this. The purpose of a website should dictate the design. I personally enjoy designing websites that are intuitive and convey info in easy to digest manner but still have a style that aligns with the company or product. Great video man!

[@by_huy]

Well said Diego, I'm totally in the same boat as you.

There is this one developer that their works is often highlighted in awwwards, one of many thing that was said that i keep in mind everyday is that the small details that mattered a lot / micro-interactions. And this doesn't just mean about the animations like for hamburger button, but also performance and user experience in these small interactions.

[@by_huy]

Well said. I agree with you there, it is something I keep in mind a lot of as well

[@IamFlamey]

there is a reason why amazon doesnt look the award winning designs.

[@_mosesb]

Amazon is the state of the art in adaptive web design

[@IamFlamey]

@@_mosesb i actually meant in relation the first point.

[@itsnerd404]

Yes you are right

[@brianm3160]

Yep, I lost interest in awwwards websites since they're very niche and not very user friendly

[@mariejae92]

​@@brianm3160 100% same !

[@wasibilyas7097]

Hi Huy, hope you are doing well. I am also an frontend Developer. And I love your content. I have you to make an step by step video of what courses or material you used to learn, and animations. Kindly make detail video.

[@by_huy]

Noted 🙂

[@edgarasben]

Spot on, it really depends on the purpose of the website. For heavy storytelling and art it's worth it. Otherwise, stick to something more functional and UX focused.

[@by_huy]

Yep, I cannot agree more

[@jasminexxxx2]

Huy, Awesome content.

[@by_huy]

Thank you Jasmine!

[@raghadshk3583]
