literally came off redesigning a huge part of our sales engine and website and made them beautiful (around June) and now it's really ugly cause we had to get rid of all the padding and margins because we couldn't fit everything high enough... uhg

I think some scrolling is fine. But the website OP made, you have to scroll for a very long time.

yes and content overload IMO

one other thing breh

too much animation... one of the ux principles I remember learning about is that if the animation is extremely noticeable it's too much and too distracting... every section is flying in from the side and moving down... honestly the only animation you should have on there is the parallax on the banner... don't distract your users from your content

Noted! I'll make the changes when I get home from work

Content overload is for SEO purposes at the moment, I wanna overload it until it's on the first page of google and then simplify it when it's gained traction

meta and alt tags can take care of that for you

it's a nice start for sure. I assume you're more of a designer than a developer or other way around? If you're a designer try come up with some stuff that can make it unique and less "template" like

just think about the amount of ppl who will use the website and not intuitively scroll down on the homepage



then look at all the information that's on the homepage that u need to scroll thru



~no thanks~


the animation stuff is annoying too

Someone above already said this, but you definitely need to justify the content texts.

Also, on the content pages, you should auto-scrolldown to the relevant main content part. Because right now the user gets the impression that something's wrong with the site, 'cause they keep seeing the big ass background image like nothing's changed after they clicked a button.
