Taste Test
Design isn't just about making something look good it's about making people stop, pay attention, and take action.
I'm currently designing a new website, and I've created two different hero section concepts. Before I move forward, I'd love to hear what you think.
Which one would make you stay on the page longer?
1️⃣ Light & Clean
2️⃣ Dark & Premium
Don't just vote; tell me why. Is it the layout, typography, colors, spacing, or overall feel?
Your feedback will help shape the final design, and I'm genuinely curious to see how designers and business owners view these two directions.
👇 Drop 1 or 2 in the comments and let me know what influenced your choice.

A. The case-study screen has more contrast, and the proof numbers sit close to the main promise. I’d keep that structure even if you soften the purple.

Static or video? The hero section decides in three seconds. Same layout, same headline, same colors. Only the background changes.
01 Static. Loads instantly. Keeps the focus on typography. Nothing competes with the message.
02 Video. Sells the atmosphere before a single word is read. You don't read about the retreat, you're already there.
The trade-off is real: video costs loading time and can pull attention away from the CTA. Static is safer, but safer isn't always stronger.
For a wellness brand built on atmosphere, which one would you pick: 01 or 02?👇

I feel more focused on landing page rather than just scrolling to the next section
I was working on the stationery for Sten & Kant, an architectural identity project, and couldn’t decide between these two mockups. The designs are identical, but the camera angles create a completely different feel!
Which one do you prefer? Feedback is always appreciated.
