A few hills I will die on:
tools aren't religions.
ai should amplify taste, not replace it
always over communicate
do your best to overdeliver
you don't know what you don't know
Most redesigns start with colors.
I think they should start with questions.
Who are we today?
Who are we trying to attract?
Does our website still reflect that?
A website should make your next customer feel like they're exactly where they're supposed to be. 🤝🏼
Today was Day 9, i took a break from everything and was just playing in Framer, designing.
Im focusing on micro animations, and layering those to give my site more depth. It still feels a lil flat to me.

The best tools are useless in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use them.
What day are we on? 8? Today im going to an in-person event for Framer in Austin. if yall see my awkward self, please dont be offended by the RBF i swear im nice 😅
Week 2 of building from ZERO.
have the back end ready, now to design the font-end.
contracts are ready
figuring out the marketing aspect.
My day 3 roundup:
Finished contract template
Signed up on square to send invoices and contracts
Ghosted by new client and then rescheduled
Had drinks with my landlords? (They are chill AF, i love them and dont know how i lucked out)
My Rules for CTA's:
✔ Outcome-based (‘Start building your pipeline’)
✔ Friction-reducing (‘Try free - no card needed’)
✔ Specific ("Book a 20-min call')
Make it specific enough that clicking feels like a logical next step, not a leap of faith.
how is everyone writing design contracts with clients? do you have a lawyer writing one for you, do you use a customized template (designed by a lawyer) what's the move friends?
how i'm looking to position ALTMADE:
We build digital infrastructure for ambitious founders.
The same way a master carpenter builds a house.
No fluff.
No jargon.
Just solid work.
The Field Guide for SaaS Founders.
Websites built like tools, not marketing campaigns.
I have a maybe hot take for yall today. AI isn't making everyone creative. DESIGNERS ARE STILL NEEDED.
It's making creativity more obvious.
When execution becomes instant, taste becomes the bottleneck.
🥂 cheers
