Side-by-side feels super balanced!
THank you Celia! I was thinking the same, but a bit confused to chose one 😁
Side by Side mate
Thanks Progress! Appreciate
The centered looks too scattered and badge visibility is too low.
Thank you for your valuable suggestion Leena! 😊
Side by side🔥
Thanks Amina! The side-by-side layout definitely lets the copy breathe and gives room for the preview. Glad you like it!
Lovely design !
Thank you so much, Sahil! Really appreciate the kind words man 🙌. Did one layout stand out more to you - the centered hero or side-by-side?"
personally I'd choose centered one, attracts better and focused than side by side
Spot on. Thanks Daxesh! The centered view direction all the attention directly to the phone mockup without distractions Thanks for sharing your take!
centre forces to focus on main product so it's good
Thanks Arman! 😊
Side by side looks more engaging
Good to see your feedback :) Thanks
The side-by-side is better because it is bold for me to see from a distance
Good catch on the readability from a distance! That extra visual separation really helps. Appreciate the feedback, Daniel!
Premium look !
Thanks so much, Sujon! Really glad you like the Premiumness🙌
Side-by-Side for me. The darker background makes the app screen pop and the headline feels more confident. Centered feels a bit safe for a fintech app.
Spot on observation, Tabish! And that's actually the exact goal, since it’s a fintech app website, moving away from that 'safe' corporate look
side by side is better.
Thanks for the vote and input, Sandaruwani! Much appreciated 🙏
The side by side gives the visuals a premium feel
Glad that premium vibe came through! It gives the product preview plenty of room to shine. Thanks Sekinat!
looks great 👍
Thank you Pranto! Really appreciate
Thanks Sahil!
Thanks Shruti for your feedback 🙌
The winning option splits the layout weirdly. Centering the text usually drives much better focus and conversion on web hero sections.
Agreed Saud! You are right! Thanks for your input
side by side looks great
Thank youuu! I really appreciate on providing your valuable feedback.
Thanks Hunain for your input:)
The right one 🎀
Side by Side Mate!
this look great
For a finance app, I’d go with the hero that communicates value instantly and has a clear, action-focused CTA. Clean hierarchy matters more than visual complexity here. 👌
Thanks Nikita! Love your point
side-by-side all success!
Great stuff! I will go for the side-by-side arrangement, it looks more balanced.
Side by side rad assymetry!
The side-by-side layout winning 64% makes sense since the phone mockup and headline both stay visible without competing. Did you test how the CTA placement changes sign-ups, or was this purely a visual preference vote?
Side by side for sure!
side-by-side, the copy gets room to breathe instead of fighting the phone mockup for the eye
I voted side-by-side in my head, then I re-read the question. For a finance app the visitor needs trust first. The centered layout with badges under the headline gives trust faster. Side-by-side tells the better story once they are inside. My pick: centered for the download, side-by-side for the tour.

One fintech brand. Two different hero experiences. 🖤
I designed two homepage hero concepts for Qorvex, a modern fintech platform, exploring two different ways to create a strong first impression.
Both concepts use a dark, premium visual direction with monochromatic tones, but each takes a different approach to presenting the brand.
Option 1 — Bold & Minimal
A centered hero layout with a strong headline, cinematic product visuals, and a clean, focused composition.
Option 2 — Modern & Structured
A split-screen layout with a bold headline, clear feature highlights, and a striking visual showcase of the fintech cards.
Which hero design would you choose for a premium fintech website?
Vote for Option 1 or Option 2 and tell me why in the comments. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Which hero would you choose — 1 or 2?
Two directions for Amber House, my real estate website template. The first pairs a closer architectural crop with an asymmetric layout. The second gives the building more breathing room, with a wide view and a centered headline.
Same template, two different first impressions. Which feels stronger to you, and why?

I will go with Bold & Asymmetric!
Really liked how these designs turned out!
Explored a concept for AI SaaS product, focusing on a clean interface and a simple, intuitive chat experience.
Tried two different layout variation for the hero section.
Which would you like?

Really clean concept! 👏
I like the second layout more — the headline "Your ideas deserve an intelligent partner" + the chat preview below makes the AI feel real and easy to use immediately. The first one is also clean, but this one sells the product faster.
I also design SaaS...
