How did you design and build your homepage? I find that building the landing page and making it look like a professional, beautiful design is one of my biggest hurdles. I'm an experienced web developer but without a design to work off of - and especially accounting for mobile and dynamic sizing - I really struggle with this part of the work so I'm wondering what other people's workflows are for it.

I used fiverr to make assets, and then either use fiverr to make a design that I can easily build with one of the website building tools (wix, etc.) or I try to build it myself.

The easiest way is to find a landing page you think looks good and use it as inspiration with your own colors, assets, etc.

In case you're looking for a designer, I can help you with the design especially mobile as I have worked on mobile apps that are live on app store and play store. feel free to check out my work : https://monadile.framer.website/ You can also reach out via email : monadile.design(at)gmail.com
Thank you, but I probably will do this myself. For what it's worth - and I'm saying this constructively, not to offend - your website is illegible due to contrast issues. White titles and light grey text against a light blue background. I was sure it must be some kind of error but I turned off all my extensions and loaded it incognito in chrome and nothing changed, so, I don't know what conclusion to draw there. It just doesn't make a very good impression for a designer.
