Your website might be losing customers because it feels cheap.
Not the design. Not the copy. The feel.
When someone clicks a button and it just... appears. No smoothness. No response. Their brain registers it as low-quality.
It's like the difference between a luxury car door and a cheap rental. One feels solid. The other feels flimsy. Same with your website.
For Day 4 of my 30-day UI challenge, I built an interactive demo that shows this difference.
Instead of instant clicks, I made buttons and elements move smoothly. Like they have weight. Like they're real objects.
Why this matters for your business: When your interface feels premium, people trust it more. And trust = conversions
A smooth, responsive website tells customers: "We care about details. We're worth paying for."

Strong visuals + clear messaging = unfair advantage.
Most brands still underestimate how much perception drives conversion.
Every visual is better than the previos one 🔥
One month after launching my new portfolio, I’m redesigning it. Here’s why.
I published a site I was proud of (1st photo). It was visually striking and leaned into my graphic design roots. I followed good practices, but after reviewing the analytics, the numbers proved my approach wrong.
It was a tough pill to swallow, but it reminded me: evolution happens when your brain does the work, not your ego. My design was loud, fighting for attention instead of showcasing the work. So I started over.
I pivoted to a simpler interface (2nd photo). I stripped heavy graphics, shifted to lighter tones, and focused on UI/UX. The goal was a clear structure, letting my projects speak for themselves.
I’m putting the finishing touches on this minimal version.
Design is an infinite process. We test, we learn, we drop our egos, and we iterate.
Love this mindset.
That transition from “visually proud” → “performance-aware” is where real product thinking begins. Analytics often tell a very different story than aesthetics.
Curious what patterns stood out most.
