How Stripe Designs Websites
I suspect there'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 "wow, amazing design!". 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://draftsend.com/" rel="nofollow">https://draftsend.com/</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, "what are other websites that are in the same league as Stripe's?". Oh, tons of them. See the websites of advertising agencies, design agencies, go look up "beautiful websites list" on a search engine of your choice. And, I'm sure everyone here realizes there's no objective measure of "same league as Stripe", or even Stripe's league.<p>And finally:
Stripe's design isn't great design. It's design that a certain people like. If you're saying it's great, then define for whom.
