Hello fellow devs, I’ve been taking courses on Mosh’s site for about a couple years now. Some of you might recognize me as I make a regular habit of responding to posts I have knowledge about as was done for me when I was first learning.
Recent job market changes in the US have made it difficult to secure a job as a web developer. Rather than giving up I decided to forge my own path similar to Mosh’s example. I have started my own freelance web designing company and want to service clients locally. Already I’ve had some success with finding new clients, and having plenty of projects to keep me busy.
I would appreciate any feedback on my new website https://optimizedwebs.design. It’s built with wordpress on a custom theme (custom php for html /css rendering and JS with react) I extended my learning to be able to service more clients with a variety of needs.
The main components are the navbar using dom elements, my contact form built with react and stores data in a JSON file on my database. Please don’t try to break anything but let me know if you notice anything with design or implementation you feel I could benefit from the feedback.
Looks great man. Here are some of my opinion for your website.
- Your first button on Hero, I think you should add some padding and change the font color to white and make it bold. It looks weird the way it is now.
- In mobile mode, your Hero look a bit weird. I think you should center line, h1, p, and button. Also your image is under the skewed block. You should either get rid of the image or extend your skewed block.
- You need to add animation and hover effect. Your cards when you hover, make it pop up a little.
- Your button, when you hover over it, it only change the cursor. You should either pop-up or change the font color.
- In navigation, when you hover on ul, the underline pops up. I think you should get rid of it.
- Image for the projects, you should also make it clickable and pop up.
- Check your wording, in Hero, you end it with Responsive, you should either say and Responsive or Responsive and so much More! The way it is, is just weird. Also, you said Add Campaign (service page, SEO), it should be Ad Campaign.
If you want to add extra:
- Make A clickable icon on the right bottom, that will take you back to top.
- Dark Mode, cause why not?!
Remember, this is just my opinion. Hope I am helpful in any way and Good Luck man! I am also trying to do the same thing as you.

That’s some awesome feedback thanks so much! I’ll probably be implementing most of that for sure. The button I had it white but it said not accessible on page speed insights but honestly I have a harder time reading it black so maybe the AI is wrong lol.
It’s so funny a lot of this stuff becomes obvious to me once you point it out, but for some reason I just didn’t see it on my own.
Your a boss!
