Who am I? Why am I here?
Three years into freelancing, I almost walked away from all of it.
I had a client, a small business owner who had saved up for months to finally get a website built. She trusted me completely. Paid upfront. Sent me her whole vision in a voice note at 11pm because she was too excited to wait until morning.
And I delivered something average.
Not bad. Not broken. Just.... average. The kind of website that does the job but doesn't do anything for the person who owns it. She said thank you. Paid the final invoice. And I knew in my gut she deserved better.
That moment didn't leave me for weeks.
I could have moved on to the next job. Most people do. Instead I went back, redesigned three key pages, rewrote the structure, fixed things she didn't even know were wrong, and sent it to her without charging a penny more.
She cried on the call.
Not because the website was fancy. But because for the first time it actually felt like her.
That was the moment I stopped thinking about websites as deliverables and started thinking about them as something that represents a real person, a real dream, real money someone worked hard for.
That's who I am. That's why I'm here.
I'm Mirza Abbas, a senior web designer specialising in Webflow and Framer. I've spent 8 years building websites for brands across different industries and continents. But the work that keeps me going isn't the big projects or the impressive client names.
It's that moment when a client looks at what we've built and says:
“Yes. That's exactly what I had in my head.”
That's the feeling I'm chasing.
And that's the kind of work I'm here to do.
Going back and fixing it without charging more is the kind of thing that defines a career. That client will never forget you, and neither will your future self.
Couldn’t agree more. Some decisions shape how you approach every project after that. Appreciate this.

Been working on my portfolio for the past 10 days.
From designing everything in Figma to bringing it all to life in Framer it’s taken a lot of time, but seeing it come together has been worth it.
Still a work in progress, but I’m getting very close to wrapping it up.
Here’s a look at some of the pages so far. 👀
Great work but I have a question that designing everything in figma and then going to framer works better or just do all together in the framer from the start. I learning framer do let me know if thats hard or easy?
Pixelcore — AI & Technology Landing Page 🤖⚡
Pixelcore is a futuristic landing page concept for an AI-powered technology company focused on automation, data, integrations, and digital product development.
The goal was to communicate innovation and technical expertise without falling into the typical dark, overly complex AI aesthetic. The visual direction combines a clean monochrome interface with bold orange accents, pixel-inspired typography, and playful 3D technology objects.
Special attention was given to:
• a dynamic hero composition built around 3D tech visuals and strong typography;
• a distinctive orange accent system that guides attention toward key actions 🟠;
• pixel-inspired typography that reinforces the digital and technological character of the brand;
• 3D objects representing AI, automation, analytics, hardware, and connected technology;
• clear CTAs that make the next step immediately visible;
• service cards for AI Automation, Data Insights, Integrations, and Product Design;
• trust elements and performance metrics that support the company’s positioning;
• responsive mobile layouts that simplify the composition while keeping the same visual identity 📱;
• a modular visual system that could easily scale across services, case studies, and additional landing pages.
The result is a clean but expressive digital experience that makes an AI company feel innovative, approachable, and visually memorable — without sacrificing clarity or usability.
Looking to create a distinctive website for your AI, SaaS, or technology product?
Let’s turn complex technology into a digital experience people instantly understand ⚡
Wow! How did you approach balancing all the 3D elements without making the hero feel too busy?
