Taste Test
I attempted to redesign a website's hero section and can't decide between these. Do you prefer the subtle gradient or the simple and informative?

GOing with the suubtle version
I'll go with Simple, it looks clean. Subtle gradient looks like there's a lot going on in a very subtle way.
Simple
thanks

Great execution. It feels very intentional.
✨ Base44 × Contra #GiveItAGlow Challenge
I’m excited to share my submission for the Base44 × Contra #GiveItAGlow Challenge!
For this project, I redesigned the website of a real local Ju-Jutsu school, focusing on creating real value for both future members and the business itself.
Rather than changing the club’s identity, I modernized the overall experience while preserving its original branding and recognizable character.
Before
• Confusing navigation
• Information-heavy pages
• No online booking
• Contact form was difficult to find
• No AI assistance
• Difficult for first-time visitors to know where to start
After
• Modern visual redesign while preserving the original branding and identity
• Cleaner information architecture with a much clearer user journey
• Fully responsive experience across desktop and mobile
• Interactive schedule dashboard with filtering by location and training type
• Online trial booking, allowing visitors to register without calling or sending emails
• Clearly accessible contact form instead of hidden contact information
• Bilingual AI Assistant (German & English) that answers FAQs and helps visitors choose the right training
• Faster, simpler, and more intuitive experience for both visitors and the business
The goal wasn’t simply to redesign the website.
It was to create a solution that helps the club welcome new members more efficiently, reduces manual communication, and makes booking a training session as simple as possible.
🎥 Below are the Before & After walkthrough videos.

Super😍
The dark editorial tone with "Control what AI says about you" as the opener is a strong hook for a reputation/advisory site, it signals seriousness before you even scroll to the team. Was that framing something the client asked for specifically, or your read on what would land for that kind of advisory board audience?
