Love this type of video. Really breaks website design down to the fundamentals in a way I don’t see anyone else doing. Thanks for sharing

[@d.o.nmuzic3802]

Amen!!!

[@MsOrganicBlack]

I've been a designer for almost 20 years and have been experiencing burnout and creative block lately. This video helped a lot. I just subscribed. Thank you so much!

[@MrInsider33]

this video is actually genius. Not only are those sections really good, but you literally just had to find good designs and turn them into Layouts, and not the other way around. Clever thinking!

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

Thank you 😊

[@globalfunseeker6733]

Considering that most people view the web using portable devices, there's too much emphasis placed on design. It doesn't matter what the site looks like on a desktop computer, when reduced to fit the viewport of a cellphone, it becomes a series of square/rectangular blocks. I think navigation and content are far more important, unless you're priority is developing or supporting a brand.

[@GrouEEf]

This. Absolutely.

[@patrickbuswell]

I appreciate your comment. I personally do not like to visit websites using my mobile phone (and it's a Samsung Fold). I do 85% of my browsing on desktop. I would also argue that if what you have to offer is B2B (Business-to-Business) oriented, you will have more desktop visits being office workers using their work computers vs. B2C (business-to-Consumers) which might indeed attract more mobile traffic. Lastly, I agree that having a more straightforward mobile interface is the way to go to both types of consumers.

[@JaiSequoia]

I think both are extremely important! For my clients I see up to 80% of site visits coming from mobile devices. I’m a squarespace designer and what is great about the platform is you can easily customize the mobile view to make the experience as easy and straightforward as possible. But I still place just as much emphasis on the desktop design… it should all start there.

[@zenitsu2989]

Agreed 💯%

[@briansexton]

So… considering that most people commute with land vehicles nobody should make videos about improving experiences that are more common in air or water travel? And because most people read on electronic devices should nobody make videos about print design? If most people eat rice with dinner should nobody make cooking videos featuring pasta or beans? Design for different devices is not mutually exclusive.

[@raymondjenkins1161]

Solid gold as always. As someone that is more developer than designer, I really appreciate videos and resources like this.

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

Thanks Raymond 🙏🏼

[@neeshsamsi]

Really enjoyed this. Great source of inspiration. If you make another video along the same lines would love to see a responsive view for these unique layouts. They are very creative in full size but it could be a challenge when scaling those down for mobile

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

Agreed. It can be tricky to get creative in mobile. I’ll see what I can do! In the meantime here are some mobile hero layouts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHPcgIl7hNWLl9U

[@unstence]

I agree. Most of our web traffic comes from mobile.

[@liszcgsedt]

I am afraid the only realistic option is goign vertical here, no other way (which actually removes too much thinking from the way ::). The way to go, as I see it, is grid with grid areas and then using order to order them. Or perhals subgrids, which I am now starting to use.

[@darrenbealeofficial]

Awesome layouts Payton thank you for sharing. One thing nobody does is work through great desktop layouts and show how they can be in a responsive design. For example, take say your layout #8 and show how you would change it across the various device viewports. That would be super helpful. 10/10

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

Will keep this in mind thanks Darren! Mobile can be tricky to get creative so I think a video on this could be good 👍🏻

[@darrenbealeofficial]

@@PaytonClarkSmith I think working through one specific webpage layout may be a great way help people visualize / get ideas flowing on what to do for a given screen layout across devices. Awesome work Payton. cheers

[@stephenebrandt]

​@PaytonClarkSmith you could still do it as a follow-up to this video.

[@Ramnathk]

OMG where were you all my life! Loved the portion where you were talking about nesting layouts to create something unique. Thanks again.

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

My pleasure 😊

[@thevintagebrush7378]

Excellent video - it's very easy to start running away with layouts before understanding clean styling and good white space. I'd like to see more of these without doubt.

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

I agree. Thanks for the comment!

[@abrahamyehoshuafrias3390]

As a UX designer you want and need to use a design system. Using something "unique" can create conflict with the users. remember always to design based on what people more use. also this depends on what is your project

[@gloriaaliciagarciagarcia2278]

I really am UI, but seriously as UX you can't do something "unique"? sure, I would never do things that look like buttons and aren't, or things as radical as dribbble's complex grids, but I think you can still do something within the rules that looks nice, do you think there is a spectrum between what is good and doesn't look boring?

[@gloriaaliciagarciagarcia2278]

For example, the Next js site always looks good and is not overwhelming. And as a frontend dev I can say that I don't find it really hard to do it in css, although I don't like the CMS restrictions on where I can and can't drag, so full css with tailwind.

[@SohaibHasan]

Thank you for this amazing video. Really enjoyed watching it and learnt new designs as well.

[@hooraiable]

its a fine line between the old fashioned way and going too funky... would be nice to see not only 2 slides side by side but three - for the mobile option of the layouts.

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

Very true. I find myself always defaulting to the basics because of this! But throwing in a few of these now and then pushes me outside my comfort zone 😂

[@OscarObians]

Gosh! these are gold. I just referenced your video on hero sections and now just saw this posted 1d ago.

[@PaytonClarkSmith]

Happy to hear it!

[@LARESCIV]

Make more of these bro, they are great, somehow other youtubers of this kind don't show off much of layout designs, but you did, is refreshing to see.

Your words resonated with me. That's exactly what I was frustrated about. In fact, all Wordpress themes seem to have the same design for sections. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you explore.

[@mpfiesty]

[@the180degreerule3]

Amazing episode, I avoid using timer, I let the user decide by choosing to reveal, slide, or move things based on scroll

Wow Payton. Your video this one is a gem! It open my eyes for different approach in my design.

[@goldenant9450]

great suggestions.i find that ill start building something new and then i'll hit a wall when it comes to making it responsive for smaller screen sizes..i ultimately end up reverting back to those typical boring layouts to make it work.

[@carlellis9647]

Payton, thanks for this video you do a great job of explaining in a clear concise way of how sections of a webpage can be laid out. You have embedded in my mind that good layout is based on how well organized the columns and rows of each section of a web page are structured.

[@mdqmatias]

What about mobile responsive? You didn't show how should look this sections in mobile, wich has aprox. the 80% of web traffic...

[@MrAldarias]

Ok! This was really good, Payton!

[@liszcgsedt]

Hi, thnks, makes sense, just let me bring up a couple of points: One of my concerns would be overall length of the page, which may make it a bit more difficult to scroll (back) to a specific section - so I would be vary of goint too much vertical with the assets. Unless of course you have a section with good content and enough whitespace to span thru the entire viewport. Layout 6 is essentially the same as layout 1, save for the bullets, right? But yeah, I tend to use it (both options) too. In layout 5 I can imagine interactivity when the central image changes based on visitor hovering over one of the five "description" blocks. This would be challenging (and by that I do not mean the hover interaction) to break for a mobile - the only option there is going vertical while ideally keeping all six elements in view. In terms of sliders, you in very most cases have those nav dots and/or L/R arrows at hand, so I would not be worried. Overall, tho, I believe such elements should not be moving without user interaction (or at least stop moving on hover for desktop) - it is generally pretty annoying to open a website where everything keeps moving for fancy effect. Less is oftern more. One point in general: I have watched a good couple of such design videos, somem with Figma, etc. They mostly offer good suggestions ... but I am lacking mobile / tablet aproach in them, which mostly reduces them to a rhetorical exercise. I do not know what you background is (that is, how much you are considering technical solution), but much as fancy design can be quite challenging on handhelds (ordering of elements and headlines, the way they fit into the viewport height ... such as in layout 9 I would want the headline first, then the big picture, then the maller blocks, which, however, may thereby lose the context of the headline). None of you design people really tackle this. Personally, I am still waiting for a breakthrough idea of kinda irregular design with standout-ish visual, something very unorthodox, yet intuitive and comprehensive. Has not yet come ... so I am stickng to what "just makes sense" (and is easy to code). Sad ... but unless the customer really pays for something unique, I need to be making sure no crazy ideas ever get on the table. Being realistic, that is.

[@-The-Golden-God-]

Cool video, but I'd love to see how these designs translate to mobile layouts, as that's how most people are viewing websites these days. It's all well and good creating a fancy desktop website, but the skill comes in translating it to tablet and phones.

Yes, #10 is actually not a good design. There is no need to design a section like this that is "uncomfortable to look at." That literally goes against almost every design basic.

[@gerardcruz3520]

This is really helpful! Thanks for the tips✌🏽

[@iwbowden]

Thank you for these. They really help me to break away from the common and push the boundaries somewhat. However, for each of the layouts you've shown here, there needs to be corresponding layout for mobile - and they'll be totally different because things just don't fit properly on a screen that's one-fifth the width of a desktop/laptop. Please illustrate for us how you'd transpose the design elements you're showing here onto a mobile screen.

[@andrewmayo7457]

When he did a hero section video before he released a video later for mobile layouts that was great 👍 👌. I wouldn't be surprised if he does the same here.

[@codenflowin1094]

My man bro. Good shit

[@leodegroot2]

Hi Payton, you have a nice view on design. Your explination of the standard two column layout is ok but also has to do with responsive design. About 70% of users are reading email and websites on mobile. Due to Instagram etc. the layout and reading habbit shifted from landscape to portrait. A lot of your designtips look good on desktop or laptop. How do you implement them on iPad or a even smaller screen like a smartphone? With kind regards, Albert
