https://hexonet.net Awesome homepage with a big background image of people and faces that changes daily:

Try highlight text in different parts of the page, the highlight color changes to match that section's theme!

Google Voice calling rates (could not search for "South Korea" only "Korea")

Clean "What's new" at Figma

Google always has beautiful layouts

Cool "zoom out of a mobile device as you scroll down" on UAE Apple Arcade

Game publishing


Ben likes it, wants to do a V2 of https://freedom.gg

I like the personal approach with the vlog-style video introducing 11 bit studios. But the video does not say what they actually do for game developers. Their only key point is "we were developers so that makes us better game publishers" which does not sound like a compelling pitch!

I really like this design: https://www.crave.ca/en/

Replacing all the "TV" stuff with "video games" :-)

Or something "wow" with background video of exciting gameplay moments of games we publish, like: https://www.pixijs.com/

Or just a clear "call to action" with minimal text and an informative animation, like: https://www.grammarly.com/

Tips

Clear mission statement: what do you do answered in 5 seconds to first-time visitors

Good examples

Create a powerful video site

Bad examples

Lots of game imagery, no clear "what it is" (it is "cloud gaming")

Better example of "what it is" but too much text

Graphics and text

More graphics, less text, "Learn more" links for details

Good examples

Bad examples

Clean design, too must text

Clean design

Lots of whitespace!

Good examples
