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?

THANKS!

Well, we are very experienced developers, which is code for.. we are old... Old as from the time where websites had banners moving across the page, so that might have influenced our choices.

But these suggestions are gold to us as we have no expertise on design, so thanks AGAIN

		You’re welcome! Happy that it was helpful and not tooooo unkind.. Design can tickle different bits of your brain compared to code! Quite often I can’t pin down and name just what’s wrong (those with the vocab can, of course) But if you can describe the feeling in the back of your mind to an agent you’re golden.
