Designers, let’s talk about where our craft is actually heading.
AI is moving fast in web design, shifting everything from our day-to-day workflows to how we think about creativity. I’d love to hear how the community on Contra is navigating this shift.
Drop your thoughts in the comments on any (or all) of these:
The Current Impact: How has integrating AI tools influenced your actual day-to-day design work so far?
The Evolving Role: What do you see as your primary role as a web designer as AI automation becomes more embedded in the design process?
Future Adaptation: How do you plan to adapt, upskill, or reposition your work moving forward?
Feedback for AI Creators: What suggestions or requests do you have for the developers building AI tools for web design?
Taste vs. Algorithm: Do you think AI tools can ever truly understand—or replicate—the beauty, nuance, and intent of human design?
🚀 🚀 🚀 Let's discuss! Share your experiences, hot takes, or predictions below.🙌
My take on taste vs algorithm: AI has compressed the distance between idea and first draft, but it hasn't touched the part where you decide if the idea was worth having in the first place. Curious if that gap is showing up in how clients brief you differently now too.
I think taste and judgment will matter even more. AI can speed up the work, but knowing what actually feels right is still human.
Can AI understand design aesthetics better than the human eye in the future?
AI speeds up the process but taste is still entirely human. It can generate hundreds of layouts in seconds but knowing which one actually solves the business problem and has emotional factor is where the designers true value lies now.
Too lazy to answer an AI generated post about AI 😂 Hope you understand!

A few years ago I had the chance to take a course where one of the modules was taught by a designer I really admire, Joseph Berry.
The goal was to create a website for a product, in this case, a speaker. We went through the entire process, from receiving the brief to the very last detail, even modeling the product ourselves in 3D using Spline.
I learned so much, and also got to meet great designers. It’s amazing to see how each one has a different process, and having the chance to observe that and take a bit from each way of doing things to make it your own and develop a unique result really helps you grow a lot as a professional.
I’m sharing some frames from the project, hope you like them!
Great website design visuals I like the color palette ❤️❤️
Great job Ivan🎉🎉

Ship A, Grima. The split with the app gives instant context: visitors see the product in action before they read a word. The centered version looks clean but the app screenshot sells it.
