I'm currently in the process of revamping my company's website and alongside the desktop version, I obviously need to make sure the mobile experience is just as good.

I'm fairly new to web design and UX, so I'd love to hear from people who have been through this process before.

What are the key things I should absolutely not overlook when designing for mobile?

For example, should everything that's available on desktop also be accessible on mobile? Or are there cases where it makes sense to simplify or remove certain elements?

I'm particularly interested in the less obvious things that beginners tend to miss, or mistakes you only realize you've made after launching.

Any advice, personal experiences, mistakes, or lessons learned would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a clean, modern Framer template designed specifically for fractional executives and consultants (CFOs, COOs, CMOs, etc.), and I wanted to give it away to the community for free.

I wanted to build something that goes beyond a standard landing page—it includes a layout where potential clients can easily understand service tiers and pricing structures.

Here is a quick overview:

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any suggestions on how I can improve it. Let me know what you think or if you end up using it for a project! 🙌

A few months ago I helped another team with UX, mockups, a simple design system, and dev handoff. The team and users loved it. I checked in with the devs several times offering to answer any questions or QA, but they kept saying "not yet."

Today they sent the site for testing and it's a disaster. So many issues, but the biggest is that they didn't implement the design system at all.

My main project is winding down, so I'm thinking of pitching a pivot into design engineering to fix this. They're on Angular with the DevExpress component library.

I've done this before, themed an existing library (shadcn) to match a design system, built out Storybook (this team has none), and implemented it. But this is much bigger project, with multiple sites.

Has anyone done this at scale? Any advice on approaching it, and on framing it to get it greenlit?

Say a participant can't complete a task in an unmoderated test. Watching the recording, you realize your instructions could reasonably mean two different things.

There's still useful behavior on video, but calling it a failed task could make the interface look worse because of the instructions.

Do you leave that attempt out of the completion rate and rerun the task with someone new? Or keep it in and explain what happened?

I know during Covid there was a huge surge of design jobs in this field and junior level roles were more readily available. Now, I don’t think this is ever going to happen again especially with the invention of AI but I could be wrong.

So what does this mean for companies? Are only mid, senior and director level designers going to be at companies? If so, what was the benefit of having junior level designers to begin with?

I came across this recently on Plasma iOS when activating my physical card.

When you tap “Activate card,” the card expands and flips over, visually telling you to look at the back of your physical card and enter the last 4 digits.

Instead of using just text instructions, the animation tells where to look and what to do next.

Definitely add to the polish, but does it help in reducing the cognitive load?

My question is in the title. Wondering what % higher are you asking once a company offers you the position or are you not negotiating at all? Dealing with this right now with one offer and one other potential offer (reference check done but haven't heard back yet). First offer is 140k and a bit more with bonus (their posted range is around 130k-165k) and the other potential offer is 165k-215k). I'd be the only designer and have a pretty big ownership in terms of deciding product vision & direction and not only solely designing. I also already am well versed in their domain area. I was targetting closer to 155k-165k but I also know 140k isn't a bad salary at all so unsure how to proceed. It is only 5k more than my last role as well so that's why I'm inclined to want to push for higher. Would love your perspectives here.
