That was probably the worst possible background given the amount of scrolling required. And he's a designer?

Interesting idea, but to be honest, my first thought was "somebody should really type up that long Slack thread in a more accessible form and put it on our wiki so that it's accessible to others not part of the conversation".

It fits well with the current trend of "chat as UI", but I think this is fundamentally not a very good paradigm for knowledge sharing, so this probably has a pretty short expiry date as a novelty thing.

I like it! By being novel, it effectively pitches the product of the website. Others mentioned how its a bit scroll heavy —I also found myself scrolling for the pricing (should be the second question, perhaps)— but all the info is on the page, so you'll get there if you're interested. Some feedback to consider:

- Is the strict refund policy really necessary? Since you screen clients I'd expect you rarely (<1%) deliver a product the client hates. Perhaps a more traditional 'satisfaction guaranteed' would make the sale easier, and highlight your expertise. But I get that it introduces admin work.

- The portfolio is really nice, I'd find a way to break the format a bit to include a carousel of latest work. Could also be higher-up, the third message even.

- On mobile it switches the response bubble to the left?

- Consider centering the logo; adding some padding-top for mobile.

- It's not clear where you are doing business from, in the EU this can be helpful to know for tax reasons.

- Not having a contact-form in the style of a composing a message at the bottom feels like a missed opportunity!

It’s a fun novelty. I’m not sure what else to say though.

I found myself scrolling through most of the site. Unable to focus my eye on a specific block, on important information. It reminded me of the “I ain’t reading all this, congrats, or sorry it happened to you“ meme :)

There is a reason people reuse design patterns. Users have an expectation of how things work. It does force a certain boring homogeneity. There’s a trade off.

Hope you can keep experimenting!

I like the idea. I’ve commissioned logos from one-revision-only designers a couple of times. Happy with the results both times and they were not what I would’ve asked for. I only used one revision on one of them, so close to zero-revision.

Organizations can be so stingy and precious commissioning logos; I encourage them to take flyers on services like this one even if it’s not going to be their primary design.

The chat idea is fun. The writing is good which is most important. The text size and gap between blocks were big enough to be legible to semi-quick scrollers.
