Color can change how a website feels before you read a single word.
For this Color Drop, Iβm pairing electric blue and neon yellow to create a bold, energetic visual system β the kind of color direction that can turn an ordinary web design into an experience.
Good web design isnβt just about layouts.
Itβs about knowing which colors to use, where to use them, and what they make people feel.

The inflatable flower. Only houseplant I'm guaranteed not to kill. Also, a new object every month is a sneaky good retention hook, people will stay subscribed just to see what's next.
I donβt avoid templates just to make things look different.
I avoid flattening a physical brand into a generic digital experience.
A restaurant, studio, fashion label or product can have incredible character in the real world, then lose all of it the moment it becomes a website.
That gap is what interests me.
The website should be able to carry the atmosphere through layout, typography, pacing, motion and interaction, and ideally attract people before they ever experience the physical space.
Not every project needs to be highly expressive.
Some websites should stay simple, direct and functional.
But even simplicity can carry identity.
Bolluni was built with that in mind: translating the character of the restaurant into a digital experience rather than simply presenting information.
So well said. That's exactly the problem - a restaurant can have so much soul IRL then become another generic grid online. Love that you don't just avoid templates to be different, but to protect the brand's actual character. 100% agree.
Built this in Framer as a concept project. Goal was to make it feel run by ex-journalists. Choices: editorial serif (Libre Baskerville), a dark photo with one color accent, and copy that positions against blast-style PR.
Where Iβm unsure: text legibility over the photo and whether the two CTAs compete. What would you change?
