How Stripe Designs Websites
I suspect there&#x27;s a huge amount of halo effect happening in this discussion. Company makes good product, company gets funded,company hires good designers, company spends a lot on marketing... people go &quot;wow, amazing design!&quot;. Other designers write blogs about it, analyzing and glorifying minute details.<p>Another company makes good product, no funding, unknown, no brand, hires good designers... no one cares.<p>So, what do people here think of the design of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;draftsend.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;draftsend.com&#x2F;</a>? (I have no affiliation)<p>Can someone break it down into the absolutely incredible design that it is?<p>Rant over, here are my points:<p>- Lots of good designers out there, creating well-thought, delightful experiences.<p>- Lots of good marketers and copy-writers out there, creating smart, thoughtful copy that makes sense to their target audience.<p>- Someone asked, &quot;what are other websites that are in the same league as Stripe&#x27;s?&quot;. Oh, tons of them. See the websites of advertising agencies, design agencies, go look up &quot;beautiful websites list&quot; on a search engine of your choice. And, I&#x27;m sure everyone here realizes there&#x27;s no objective measure of &quot;same league as Stripe&quot;, or even Stripe&#x27;s league.<p>And finally:
Stripe&#x27;s design isn&#x27;t great design. It&#x27;s design that a certain people like. If you&#x27;re saying it&#x27;s great, then define for whom.
