how do you create websites for your company?
how do you create those beautiful sites for your companies? I can create websites in flask and django but I would like to learn how to also create sites with that beautiful and clean style that I often see on PH like this:
A nice bootstrap theme from colorlib or similar site, backend is pretty much the same for me (Flask and sometimes Django)
Hi!
Well, I have always built my and my clients' websites with WordPress.
This is because with WordPress you buy the hosting yourself and WordPress itself is open source. So basically in layman's terms, you OWN your website fully.
With website creators like Wix and Squarespace you technically don't own the website nor got any control in the backend.
To make a website like you linked you could use WordPress with a page builder like Divi or Elementor. Not sure how all the coders see this but if you are not into coding using a builder can help you create a beautiful website.
Hope this helps :)
Thank you very much for the help! I know how to create a website using flask/django but i wanted to know something more about the front end, thank you for your answer.
Animation is hand coded with GSAP and probably Scrollmagic.

I use carrd.co. Fast and cheap to spin up a landing page.
I uses to rely on WordPress, but I soon find out that I need at best a few pages strong static website and the maintenance/hassle was way too high. For my blog I went with Jekyll as Github Pages website served through Cloudflare (with SSL - a 100% free solution, as I'm on a tight budget), which I've based on a Jekyll template I bought somewhere for like $25, and modified to my taste (super-simple, see www.davidebarranca.com). For my business website I went with https://blocsapp.com/, a mostly visual, drag&drop creation tool quite well designed (for the result, see https://www.ps-scripting.com/). There's a ton of available animations, similar to the website you've linked, but personally I don't like them too much so I've kept things still. The bottom line is that I rather prefer to rely on solutions that don't carve out too much time in my already tight schedule – i.e. I could manually tweak stuff but the net benefit would be minimal compared to the time spent. HTH!
awesome! https://blocsapp.com/ is very powerful and nice, i certainly will use it if i will have the occasion even if i know how to create a website from scratch
Webflow is amazing for SaaS sites. Here’s a few we did: https://www.8020.inc/work
Would have to agree here. As a dev I've always preferred to handcode, but having recently played around with Webflow, it feels like a good option for simple sites with complex animation, especially 'scrollytelling' animations (i.e. scroll-based). Creating these types of sites with a UI feels much more intuitive than writing them in code (for one, the feedback loop is much shorter between updating an animation and seeing it happen on screen). I'm starting to recommend it for small projects at my company because it gets the job done much faster than coding from scratch.
WordPress or plain HTML/CSS or React for SPAs and interactive applications.
Lot of design work and using extra libraries to create the affects.
As a founder your time would be better spent on copy and talking with customers.
