Booking Calendar: Compact or Expanded?
I’m testing two calendar layouts for booking a spa hotel stay.
Version A - Compact. The calendar, selected dates, number of nights, and button remain inside one card.
Version B - Expanded. After the check-in date is selected, a separate booking summary card appears below the calendar.
The functionality is the same - only the presentation and visual hierarchy are different.
Which version feels clearer and easier to use?

compact for me.
How do you create videos like these?
my guess is a screen record?
but yeah which screen recorder?
I choose Compact because it shows starts and end date with the number of nights. I did not choose Expanded because when another card appeared I thought it is for different thing.
These are great!
Expanded for me. Shows the selected dates clearly. Also I think a smooth slide-out transition would make this look even more sleek. What do you think? 🤔

The hardest brief in identity work is "make us look serious without making us look corporate."
Serious comes from consistency. Corporate comes from removing anything a person chose.
"Corporate comes from removing anything a person chose" is going straight in my notes. I'd push it further though, I think a lot of that removal happens in legal and stakeholder review, not the initial design pass. Do you find the fight is more with the client's own instincts or with whoever signs off after them?
A Webflow to Framer migration and website overhaul for pliability, the #1 mobility app in the world. Custom code components, scroll animations, CMS-driven landing pages for campaign launches, and over 400 CMS items migrated from Webflow.
pliability provided the new website design, and @Mason Price and I brought it to life in Framer. Huge shoutout to Mason for collaborating; he has the highest level of mastery when it comes to Framer development.
This is beautiful!
AEROVA - Brand Direction
Exploring two visual directions for AEROVA, a wind-energy brand built around the idea of “Invisible force. Visible progress.”
Both directions use the same identity system, but create a different feeling:
Option A - Deep Green
Option B - Soft Blue

The soft blue palette feels more airy and closer to wind energy! Deep green is so overused in the energy industry so definitely option B.
