We recently built a website for a second-generation landscaping company last month. His father started the business in 1994. He took over 5 years ago.
The website was still telling his father's story.
Stock photos on the About page.
Services they'd stopped offering years ago.
A phone number that rang a line nobody picked up anymore.
The business had completely evolved - the website just hadn't caught up.
He'd grown the team to 15 people, expanded into commercial properties, and started doing high-end residential design work that his father never touched. But none of that existed online.
We rebuilt the site around who the company actually is today.
The new team front and centre.
The commercial portfolio with real project photos.
Service areas updated to match where they're actually working now.
A services page that reflects what they're winning work on, not what they used to do.
The before and after on this one was one of my favourites. Not because the old site was bad - it served the business well for a long time.
But there's something really satisfying about building a site that finally matches the energy of what a business has become.
good website
Beautiful

PUFFHS: Artisanal Pastry Landing Page Concept
Welcome to PUFFHS, a conceptual landing page designed for a premium artisanal bakery specializing in gourmet cream puffs. This project reimagines how we browse and buy high-end digital food products.
Most food e-commerce platforms and delivery apps rely on static, uninspiring grid layouts that fail to capture the true tactile appeal of the product. The challenge was to break away from standard UI patterns and create a digital shopping experience that is as mouth-watering and engaging as the pastries themselves, all while keeping complex dietary information accessible
To solve this, I experimented with a highly interactive, motion-driven approach. The core UX innovation is the "Reveal the Puff" mechanic. Instead of forcing users to read long paragraphs about the ingredients, I designed a seamless micro-interaction that allows them to virtually "slice" the dessert with a single click, instantly revealing the rich filling and texture.
Well now im hungry so it seems to be doing its job very well
I built an operating system for my marriage.
MARRIAGE.OS is a fictional OS that treats a relationship the way software treats a system. It has a boot sequence, a live dashboard (trust level, comms uptime, a resentment queue, partner battery at 31%), a screen of the conditionals we actually run on (IF thermostat.touched_by(partner_a) THEN war()), an error log of every fight we've ever had (all resolved, eventually), and a shutdown screen that dims the lights and says goodnight.
The whole thing is a CRT terminal aesthetic: amber phosphor on near-black, scanlines, JetBrains Mono, a design system I kept consistent across all six screens.
How Wonder made it possible: I designed every screen with Wonder Chat, generating layouts from prompts and refining them on the canvas. The living glow behind the boot and shutdown screens is a Wonder shader, tuned by hand. Then I used Wonder's MCP to pull the design straight into code and ship it to a live URL. Canvas to code to deployed, no rebuild.
It's live here: marriage-os.gblackman.workers.dev

This is amazing
I've been designing two homepage directions for Bachi, a premium platform for booking private chefs, hibachi experiences, DJs, and bartenders and I genuinely can't pick. Help me out.🍽️
Which homepage would make you submit a booking request? 👇

B. I was impressed with the hero section on B. Who doesn't like watching a chef cooking?Option B gives a strong impression in the first 3 seconds about what this website has to offer. More deeply, this visual successfully stimulates the sense of smell, without looking like a restaurant website.
