I love the way you simplify the ux, my only complaint is when you simplify that much, you seem to also lose a lot of color. Most things become bland and uniform having an overall google vibe to it. Although google has great ux designers, applying their design to everything else makes it feel corporate and lifeless. I think you need to add more color and use the websites color palette a little more effectively trying your best to add in a little more detail even if it doesn't have a purpose.

[@LoranMaes]

I understand how you feel, but I think it's a personal/team choice. I personally really like these simplistic (how you call it: Google) designs :) UI/UX is never an exact science though :)

[@NickPapSKG]

I kinda agree, but I don't see a problem with it. I feel that these kinds of design make an app (or website) look more professional and serious, which is what I personally like and makes me feel secure and sure when entering an app. Also, this is probably the safest way to do a redesign, since adding even a little more color than he already did can veary easily make the whole thing look bad, so it's really hard to balance out more than 2 or 3 colors.

[@HawkFest]

He's actually using a WYSIWYG to do this, and has fun posting his take of other Websites on KZbin. Hence those evidences you mention. They're due to the limitations of the tool itself, _and_ a personal taste which doesn't necessarily follow guidelines from experienced professionals well aware of other factors than mere looks: ergonomics and the ability to create "behavioral retention" along client's specific color/design chart and content... ONE example : most of his "corrections" involve dark UI/Background, which is the worst for any Website offering more than mere images or pictures (reading clear text on dark background, like white on black, strains the eyes as it has harmful and chronic effects in the long run) ; nobody creates an eCommerce catalog with dark background, for a good reason (unless it'd be for trading visual Art, but not those pages having forms to fill or text to read like policies, warranties etc.) : they don't want their potential clients to leave too soon, nor to cripple their comfort/user experience by potentially straining their eyes... In short, don't be fooled by con artists ;-)

[@nafizahmmed3892]

(Less color && whitespace) === awesome design

[@diniscrispim]

@@HawkFest Do you know what WYSIWYG software he may use? i would also like to try and create something

[@TheMultiGamerOfficial]

"I don't like the red background" Removes it SECONDS LATER "Now, it feels too boring" Puts a bit of red back in.

[@D.S69]

Hahaha

[@Razax7]

Dude I'm a UI/UX designer and this is really well done. Never stop making these videos. You're really putting out valuable content. Keep going! 💪

[@jespertill]

Damn. I just fell into a completely KZbin rabbit hole with these videos - its just great to see you simplify websites that much and get these stunning results! Cheers

[@joshuahammerii7329]

As someone who went to school for application development but now works primarily in backend systems administration, this really rekindled that joy I used to have back when I would build and design stuff back in school. Think I may reinstall a text editor on my personal machine and start creating again. Awesome video!

[@Bryan_1244]

I can't thank you enough for re-igniting my love for CSS and design. Props!. Keep up the good work.

[@thechaoticz]

I am a web designer myself and you already inspired me! Awesome work dude, you make it really easy to follow your thought process step by step.

[@leonbellenger1343]

Amazing video! I started studying hmtl and css around a month ago, and your channel is my greatest source of inspiration.

[@bithagoras_official]

I’ve discovered your videos hours ago and can’t stop watching since then. The way you way you describe your thinking process and the final results are amazing and inspiring. I should be upset, given it’s 4 in the morning in my area and your videos are preventing me from sleeping. But I wanted to say you gained a subscriber and as a developer, an admirer!

[@theMadZakuPilot]

this's just amazing. I really hope you make it big.

[@kylechurch1211]

Your channel is exactly what I need. Your quality is that of a much larger channel and I immediately subbed. Please stick with it I have no doubt you’ll be up there with the other great tech channels in not time.

[@budgetarms]

Yes

[@skizzy.mp4]

this is probably my favourite channel on all of youtube. keep up the good work

[@lizter.]

I just found your channel and I love your app redesigns. I hope you do more and consider doing website redesigns.

[@XER0GRAVITY]

Great way of making front end development approachable for people curious about the field! You earned yourself a subscriber

[@teatimecoding]

Love the way you explain each and every part and new design

[@jaideepshekhar4621]

Oh my god you're AWESOME! You really took me back to my 10th class days where I was obsessed with designing websites. Infact, you've inspired me to restart designing. Here's a sub and a like AND a share!

[@poncardas]

This is insanely beautiful! Please make more of these videos!!!

[@valkryxdoesdesign]

I absolutely love your videos! The website redesign shorts inspired me to start learning web development, that was a year ago now, and now I do web design all the time. Thank you for the content!

[@ThunderDraws]

your channel is absolutely amazing, it inspires me to try doing some front end more seriously - so far it was quite the pain to try to figure out how to do things in html / css but I feel I could "borrow" some things from your approach from the other videos - seemed to make lots of sense!

[@Shortie_Lex]

Bro you're underated, i found you through shorts and I don't regret clicking the link! I love how you redesign sites just for fun, I hope you'll grow more as time goes on. First video I see from you, and differently not the last! You got yourself a loyal new subscriber! Love to you! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@gwoonryan8665]

I just discovered your channel and already love it so much! The designs are amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@randomperson-kv5nx]

Seems pretty cool, however it seems you remove a decent amount of website styles while making them better. For instance the rotten tomatoes search bar ended up over simplified which removes some of the character. Completely agree with the movies tabs that could cause confusion. The steam video also seemed to remove a ton of character from the website and probably needs a careful upgrade.

[@flwi]

Wow, what a difference! Great job both designing and especially explaining your thought process!

[@kaedenmurphy9937]

Wow, you have an absolute gem of a KZbin channel. Keep up the awesome content!

[@Shaheer-xs5os]

You made these websites sooo beautiful. loved it 💜

[@nogoodgod4915]

You are definitively the most underrated web dev channel out there. Phenomenal work! I love how good you made the craigslist one look, you should do more of these types of videos. And also, how did you change the designs? Did you use html/css or something like figma?

[@Hyperplexed]

Thanks so much! Yeah so I just use html and css to redesign them from scratch and then when Im editing the videos Im actually overlaying screenshots on top of each other haha probably a more efficient way to do it 😆.

[@nogoodgod4915]

@@Hyperplexed It looks really smooth and satisfying! As a side question, may I ask why don't you try and make more attention grabbing titles? Like for example "I IMPROVED the design of these famous websites! Here is how!" Or somethig like that? I'm no expert at this but the current title isn't as attention grabbing. Your contet is amazing and I would love for you to get the attention you deserve!

[@Hyperplexed]

Great point! I went back and forth so many times on the title/thumbnail and you're right, they didn't end up in a very good spot haha. I went ahead and updated them, hopefully a bit better now 😄

Underrated channel. Hopefully you will get a million sub with in the next year.

[@jordanr889]

btw the padding on the bottom of the navbar is part of the safe area for iphones. it's to ensure page content doesn't get in the way when using the home gestures, but i think it's more relevant in native apps which are fullscreen. keep up the great video's man. definitely inspiring!
