I don’t 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.
Embrace the Creativity.
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.
I'm glad you agree, thank you!

i love this very much, such a nice and cool website
Thank you so much!
You've touched on a very good point; an organization should maintain the same aesthetic and quality in both the real and virtual worlds. Templates are resources that give us ideas and examples, and require us to shape them according to our own minds, so we don't need to hate them. You're awesome, bro, keep it up!!
A little different than what i tried to tell, but i respect it of course. Thank you for telling about your opinions!
Thank you so much!
Wow I love this
Thank you so much Daniil!

AI can build the UI in minutes.
Bringing it up to a good standard, still needs a designer. Agree or disagree?

Your Hero Section Has One Job: Be Clear.
You don’t need huge headlines or long explanations. You need the right image + short headline + clear offer.
For the first version, we worked on the branding, the image and the copy together, so at first glance it’s clear: this is a makeup course, and here’s what you’ll get.
The second version is still beautiful and still feels like beauty. But what are you actually getting? A makeup course? Products? A store? That’s the problem with a Hero that looks good but isn’t thought through.
Your first screen doesn’t need to say everything. It just needs to say the right thing.
