A website redesign doesn’t always mean your website needs a completely new look.
Sometimes, the real problem is what’s happening underneath the design.
Here are some common mistakes I see during website redesigns:
→ Redesigning without understanding the problem
Changing colors, fonts, and layouts won’t help if you don’t know why users are leaving or not converting.
→ Focusing only on desktop
A website can look perfect on desktop and still provide a frustrating experience on mobile.
→ Adding too much
More sections, animations, popups, and content don’t automatically make a website better. Good design is often about removing what isn’t necessary.
→ Ignoring the existing content
A redesign is a great opportunity to review what should stay, what needs improvement, and what should be removed.
→ Breaking SEO or existing functionality
A new design shouldn’t come at the cost of rankings, URLs, forms, CMS content, analytics, or other important functionality.
→ Designing without conversion in mind
Every important page should have a clear purpose and guide visitors toward the next action.
My approach to redesign projects is simple:
Understand → Simplify → Redesign → Build → Optimize
Because a successful redesign isn't about making an old website look newer.
It's about making it clearer, faster, easier to use, and more effective.
That’s when a redesign actually becomes an improvement.

While working on a website, I explored two different approaches for the header design. Same brand, same content, just a different feel and interaction style.
Option 1 - Classic
Option 2 - Modern
Would love your honest UX/UI take, which direction feels cleaner, more functional, and better suited for the overall experience, and why?

Modern gives a really good feeling and make everything is clear
POV: Your project needed a cool and unique slider for their benefits.
Besides the smooth scrolling experience we've also used abstract animated graphics to compliment each benefit.
