Thanks random guy, I really don't have time for watching the whole video.
I didn't think I needed to watch this one, but I'm so glad I did. Designers can 10x their design skills with the principles you covered here. I'm going to start using opacity from now on. Thanks for another bang on the money, valuable and entertaining video.
bang on the money? which money that you paid for this lol
that's a really cool comment. thank you so much!!
Hi Tim, thanks for the guide - I've found it incredibly useful! I don't usually comment on videos, but thought I should on this one because you obviously put a lot of effort into editing and finding relevant examples. The side-by-side comparisons you do are also very practical - keep up the good work!
BIG thanks for the spacing tip - I already saw it in another video you did recently (7 things I wish I knew - or so)
I have always been struggling with spacing before but this REALLY has changed the game for me! 🙏
that's so so cool to hear, friend!!
Cam to this video without much expectation, but in the end, the simplicity and the quality of the pieces of advice really got me! Congrats for this awesome video!!
that's amazing to hear. thank you!!
Same. This was more than i was looking for thanks
Great vid man. Breaking the process into these steps gives anyone a clear way to get to a desireable outcome. You're killing it!
thanks a lot 🤩
There are a few really good ones in here. I do not like your typography choices though. The "before" was soo much easier to just quickly read at a glance. Like it literally took me enough time to notice to find my way around the "after" design. Plus, I'm also not sure what kind of websites most people build, probably portfolio websites (for businesses, not themselves :P) and this works great for those. I'm mainly building actual applications, like for example a scheduling tool for work etc, and a lot of these things are not as clearly applicable there. Of course, youtube looks much better than my apps, but it's hard to figure out the reasons.
My favorite tip is to begin designing using system fonts, as they will feel very natural to the user because those are the fonts used most prominently on their devices. If you are getting far along in the process and is still doesn't feel right, only then consider using webfonts. A big plus is that system fonts eliminate the need for the user's browser to load bloated font files, making your website faster.
Great work Tim! You've really stepped up your game! love it.
means a ton coming from you, ran! 🙏 thank you!! 😃
This is amazing. Thank you SO much for this vid - especially for new designers this is super helpful and clears so many things up regarding high-fid design
Wow, your workflow is astonishing. I'd love to follow those step by step.
thank you man!!
Great work🔥Thanks for the guidelines Tim!
thank you so much tim! you're absolutely inspiring! I'm waiting for your framer course
that's amazing to hear. thank you!! it's out soooooon, doing my best to get it out there!!
I love this. As a web developer, I find this design workflow / checklist invaluable. Thanks Tim
This is a video I will need to come back to over and over to remind me to keep it simple when my ideas get to many and get me stuck. Thanks a lot.
love that. thank you for commenting!!
This had info as much as an whole book, thank you soo much for this Tim💯
*Tim a big shootout to you, this past 2month i spent days and days learning webdesign with your video, and i think i really understood how it works thanks to all your great tutorials. I for sure have to improve my skills but really, when i work now, i'm really comfortable while working on web design. You're the best dude, thanks x1000*
that's simply amazing to hear, my friend. makes me really, really glad!!
Looking at the flow tip you gave, I've been incorporating the wave flow in all of my designs without even knowing it, as anyone would've done, I felt EXTREMELY proud of my guts haha. Great video, learnt a lot.
haha same as me with the spacing & grouping, always naturally thought about what he said
You helped me revisit the fundamentals, even after designing for 20 years, thanks man
Love yout content! can't wait for your framer course!
thank you so much!! i can't wait either, it's craaaazy time consuming to create it but soooon we're there 😅
One of the best and clean tutorial ever!
Great explanation!!! Gonna apply these rules in my next design for sure! Thank you.
This is amazing. Thank you so much tim!
The opacity trick was nice ngl. Great video!
thanks a lot!! 😃
I don't normally leave comments on videos but this one is extremely helpful, and I can only say that it helped me clear my mind incredibly🙌
I was a bit put off but the title, but this is one of the BEST video I have seen so far about web design. Thank you!!!
Amazing video, now I have a solid idea of the things I have to work on to improve my desings, I'II re watch this video tomorrow to make some notes.
Great video. I'm going to push back on your one font concept. Most good brand guidelines will give you the option of a main feature font and a secondary one. Then you can use contrast and emphasis in the designs.
This. A lot of sites I've seen use one font for headings, and another font for body text.
Thank you Mr Tim Gabe ,this helps us to have a clean framework and discipline our creativity. Through you advice I can create clean structured websites
Loved all the tips, especially the details one and colors
Very nice content as usual, Tim 👌
I can't wait for the Framer course !! Any idea on the potential release date ?
Also, happy new year, I wish you the best for this year ✨
thank you so much, friend! 😃 happy new year!!
i'm filming like a maniac at the moment, fighting to keep my promise of a january launch.
will keep you all posted in the newsletter! 🙏
Thanks man. I recently started with UI/UX design and it helps me a lot :D
that's awesome!!
Such a great video. I've already shared it to all my social media cuz it's so good
that's so nice of you. thanks a lot!!
It really helps for beginners like me, thank you Tim.
glad to hear it, my friend!!
It's really really teach me a lot. I'm a Jr UI/UX designer from Bangladesh. But, always still confusing how to design something unique. But right now, i teach lot of things from this video. Thank you so much❤
that's great to hear, my friend! thanks for sharing 💜
Brilliant Video. You made it so easy to understand and consume. Kudos man.
thanks a lot, really appreciate it!!
This video started off shaky for me, since I saw some of your other stuff and it was repeated content. But that stuff near the end was awesome and I'm surprised it was free. Great video.
Great, simple and to the point video with good examples, thanks!
I have been doing all of that intuitively but i was having hard time explaining all that to my juniors
Thankyou for making all of this easier to explain
Those midjourney output really came out good!
Again that's a nice tutorial and nice Tips thx Tim
appreciate the kind words, ahmad! 😃
What a great video for learners, step by step with clean guideline and by far the best tutorial video 🎉 please keep creating
that's amazing to hear. thank you for the support!
Wow! This is one of your best videos, simple and easy, a quick recap of most of the things you have discussed before but in the same place. And the website turned out amazing! I'm glad your channel is growing, you deserve it. :)
I have a question regarding using Midjourney or free assets websites, Is that a legal thing to do with real clients? My company doesn't let me use any free assets that are on the internet. I have to create them by myself or the client needs to send them, which in most cases their assets suck and that doesn't help to create nice interfaces :( haha
really appreciate that, andres!!
both of those are definitely legal and i use them daily! 😃
That was a powerful little course on design !
thank you, vincent! glad you found it powerful!!
Amazing Video! Me who learning web dev and knows how to code such websites but was missing the part to how to make then design look good. Thank you so much after this video i can make it look good.
that's great to hear, my friend 😃
@@TimGabeand this was the first video i saw of your channel and it was very helpful now me in progress of making my projects look good as before they were just functional with black text on white background
Great video!!! So many useful tips! But please dont use multiple H1 tags on a page for styling reason. You can do what Apple does and hide h1 tag from the page so its only there for SEO and visually impaired users who use screen readers, but their biggest typography on page is h2 tag. Or simple style h1 and h2 tags to look identical and then decrease the font size with h3 and down
Awesome video buddy !!
thanks my friend!!
Wow! Great job! I got a lot of inspiration from this video ☺
that's awesome to hear, alan! 😃
The guidelines were really simple and the result was outstanding
that was my goal with the video!! thank you for the kind comment!
Great video, but please don't use H* for the size of the headings. It is for the accessibility of a website, not the size.
really good point martijn -- the nice thing is that you can easily swap those tags out in the framer sidebar!
Another awesome video, thank you! 👍
really glad you liked it 🙏😃
Great tips. Thanks so much
Great video! 🔥
Thanks for these ideas. Really great
Absolutely amazing 🔥🔥
thank you for the support, friend!!
Thanks a lot! I like your style of presenting and the info you're providing. When can we expect your course? 😊
Im love with your editing and voice
that's very nice of you, thank you!!
Enjoy your trip on the way to that Golden TH-cam plaque buddy. This is an excellent channel 🎉
Really enjoy those kind of Videos, Please give us more webdesign tips, especially with examples.
this video is performing well, so will definitely explore this more 😃
Lo mejor que me ha recomendado TH-cam, por mucho.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing...
glad you liked the tips, friend!
Thanks for this mateee
Isn't it good practice to define those numbers all in terms of root font size (rem) instead of pixels?
Very good video! Thank you!
glad you liked it, friend!
Thanks for the guide :)
Hi Tim, your vids have been incredible!
With your zero to hero course, do we know roughly when this will be released please as considering purchasing a web design course and am planning to use framer for portfolio & moving forward
Thank you so much
Thanks a lot Tim for those awesome contents. What kind of details can one add to a light mode design?
Super useful, thanks!
really glad you found it useful, and thanks for commenting!
Wow thanks for the video!!
You are simply amazing!
I would like to know which software you recommend to use to animate something in your websites? And which software do you recommend for me as a designer to use for animation in Figma
Great content, Tim. It would be great if you could give the links of the great website shown in the video. That would add a lot of value in our life & save time.
thanks a lot, hardi!!
godly.design was used to source a bunch of inspo 😃 (great resource)
Hey mate, just love your work and tips. Thanks for sharing with us..Good luck to you for your future journey..I too love to play with font, colour, typography ,editing and want to kickstart a journey as a graphic designer and am keen to extend my services and learn from them. Any tip would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance 😊
that's awesome to hear, friend. thanks a lot for the kind words and good luck on your journey! 😃
Thank you, I can see the advantage of the tips. But I am wondering how well some tips will translate to a page width range from 320px up to 4096px? I am using Midjourney and it is a liberation for getting great visuals. The prompting requires a day learning but after that my visuals are great and unique.
I am new to designing and just learn figma recently. I am ready to learn no code tools but cannot decide between webflow or framer. I have html and css coding knowledge (not a pro). Which would you recommend between the two.
Very helpful information.. thank you very much...
thanks for the comment, milind! 😃
Thanks for all the good tips! I'm curious, do you have any content on putting together a UX/design portfolio? Currently trying to revamp mine and I feel like so much has changed over the last few years in terms of tools/trends/recommendations that we could use some pointers!
I agree! I mean on ADPList on portfolio.
Definitely checkout Sarah Doody's UX case study google doc helper.
don't have a video on this, but i'm hearing it so much from different people that i definitely have to make a video on this in the future. thanks for the suggestion!!
@@TimGabe That would be super helpful, looking forward to it!
Wow, this is so cool, thanks gee
happy to help 😃
headings are for laying out web sections, giving them meaning, not for styling. They are required for organizing a site. Do not style your site using headings as style points.
Good video .:) i will say u container size is bit small 960 . :) But like what u came up with and showing alot of small details make the difference!
Keep up the good work
we all have different taste, i personally like them very tidy 😃 thanks man!
Great video👍👍
Great video. Thanks
glad you liked it, thank you!!
Tim, I was hoping to use your files for my kinetic class but I don't see them on your website.
this was a great video - need that checklist if you have for reference? And seems like Framer is really heating up, I’ll have to check it out more.
don't have the checklist anywhere, sorry 😅 but framer is definitely heating up, you should check it out for sure 🙏😃
great video for beginners... how to design better than %99 of beginners...
happy you liked it!!
Hey guys, I am a new designer I just learned Figma I’ve got a grass of it and I know pretty much most of the stuff in there and I can build a pretty good-looking website. And I’m wondering, was there a point of me learning sigma if I’m just gonna copy and paste it to Framer and framer. It’s pretty much just Figma so did I waste my time learning it
Hi Tim, I have a problem with sticky positioning. I set all parent frames to overflow: visible and it works perfectly fine. However the screen of the website on the right side expands which looks terrible. I don't know how to fix it without removing the visible overflow.... Thank you for help
you'll have to track down whatever on your page is overflowing and either remove that or make its parent container have overflow: hidden!
How to make guide if I need a different font size in smaller screens
The visuals and details part was pretty awesome. And the fact that it's quite feasible on Framer, it's Framer right?
super easy to do in Framer!
yes, it's Framer 😃
@@TimGabe nOICe !
Really great points covered!
awesome to hear that you liked it, thanks!! 😃
is there a demo of this site up somewhere? or the code at least?
Edit: I just realized it's a site building tool used 😅 any way to preview it though?
it's not made responsive, so don't shoot me!

Thank you for years🎉
Where did you find the harness webpage - this looks AMAZING? Tried to look it up but the current one looks so much worse... can you share the URL? Or is it some redesign?
i can't remember... which one are you referring to?
usually i'll just scavenge lapa.ninja or awwwards.com to find these!!
I'm a begineer please help me out to know which tool he is using for this editing?
Very nice!
thank you!!
I'm a beginner and I was looking to use the grid guide but it is not available anymore as an option. Anyone have advice in adding the 12 column grid guide ? Thanks in advance
in framer? it should still be available there! if you have an actual "live" frame (like Desktop) selected
I never knew i needed to watch this until i do. the workflow is just... phenomenal! Thankyou for sharing this!
these kinds of comments are awesome! thanks a lot, joshua!!
Tim tim tim, Im with you from 500 subscribers! Good luck in 2024!
i see you, my friend!! thank you for all the support!!
Thanks a lot. :) Do you have a full tutorial on how to use figma?
happy to help!!
i have a playlist with a bunch of figma videos, but no full tutorial unfortunately!
here's the playlist:

I like this upgrade bud.
thanks man! 😃
You are genius!
haha, i don't think so but i do appreciate that sincerely! 😃
Here is free ultimate cheat trick, just make everything simple, ease of use and accessibility is what matters way more then how it looks or any fancy effects etc. There is reason why most exclusive brands have very simple web pages and titans of front end like Facebook team makes everything uninspired and simple.
you're right! simplicity is the best rule of thumb!
Awesome 👌
thank you!!
