I just click off whenever I see a site like that.

Ok, but if they have a bog-standard site like everyone else then they're not going to look any different than everyone else, which would cause users to leave.

This, this is memorable.

  • It stopped being memorable when it became a trend. I see 1-2 portfolio sites like this every week.

    It’s slow. It’s janky. It’s buggy (random x/y overflow issues on mobile, reader view came up blank a few times.) It takes an enormous effort to maintain and update. Too clever.

  • I think the opposite is true. Sure, it's technically impressive, but users have been trained for decades at this point to understand how a basic marketing page should look and this isn't it. These kinds of sites are best left as portfolio pages for designers to show off their skills, not for B2B SaaS landing pages.

Sadly, me too. We must share the fun-hating gene, or somesuch.

It's not a bad website either, the layout is really well done and it sells the branding. I just don't trust it to be accessible, as I only ever click through sites to find text content. Something about it feels like putting a Christmas tree in your bathroom for the sake of branding.
