haha! Fair point! We are three old school programmers and have no idea on design, so yes for the website ONLY, we let Claude designed for us...

If any designers come over to the comment section, we would love to hear from you! We'd love to improve our website with your advice.

On the other hand, the code, we started coding this more than one year ago and we have poured our souls on it.

If you can bare the AI obvious styling front page, I think you would like the framework

My main advice would be to get rid of anything extraneous in the site.

Animations should serve a purpose - for example, gamifying with a fireworks animation is useful if you think that communicates what you want about the product.

Engineers know that rainbow borders on boxes are tricksy to implement but a cinch for agents. So rainbow borders are a loud way to say “we didn’t pay close attention to what we were building when we built this” - or to be a bit more kind, “we shipped our first draft”.

It’s just like reading code. Why would you want any distractions?

the feedback is actionable. Fix the styling. It looks awful, like it was made by a middle school student or something
