Why most startup websites don’t convert
I reviewed several startup websites recently.
Here’s what most of them get wrong:
– No clear value proposition above the fold
– Weak or unclear call-to-action
– Too much text
– No trust elements
A website should guide users, not confuse them.
Design is not just about looking modern.
It’s about turning visitors into clients.
If your startup website isn’t converting, the problem might not be traffic — it might be structure.

If websites came with a care label, what would yours say? 🤔
I've been thinking about how micrographics, those small labels usually found on packaging or clothing tags, could translate to the web.
As web designers and developers, we know there is *so* much invisible thinking behind a site: structure, performance, accessibility, content systems… and we rarely see it. 👀
As builders, we think about these things constantly, but users rarely see them. Maybe there’s value in making the craft more legible.
What do you guys think? 💭
This is such a fun concept. The care label idea makes all that invisible work visible in a really clever way. "Reduced motion safe" and "92 Lighthouse" on a tag would tell you so much about how thoughtfully a site was built. Would love to see this become a real thing designers actually share with clients.

Hi Community!
So, I’ve been exploring Figma Make during the initial planning process in designing a website. It feels like a good tool to explore a rough idea in real-time.
I like it - being able to iterate so quickly.
🚀 A tip from me would be to add it to your exploration process - it definitely makes it more fun.
Has anyone else added this to their workflow yet? 🧠
Love how Contra's community is providing tangible insights!

Micrographics started as utility - barcodes, packaging, instruction labels. How would you use them?
