What do you think of this web designer?
Only your first impression in terms of professionalism, offer, professional experience, prices, knowledge, portfolio / references, customer service, general impression at first glance.
Honest opinions please.
Hi Incognito;-),
because it is a commercial side that also offers services such as web design, I will look a little more closely and give more criticism.
The site doesn’t look very nice for me and the effects bother me and other visitors. First of all, I have to go through the annoying cursor. Just because you can, it doesn’t mean that you should use it – so in this case too. Navigation is very slow and the effects are also disturbing. By designing the page, you will find the navgation only at the second or third glance. Your profile image in the hero looks very heavily pixelated. It’s not beautiful and unprofessional.
The Skill-Items with the different Skills do not look beautiful and do not stand out from the rest. Here you should use other styles. In addition, I don’t think it’s a good idea to give a percentage of what you can do, that’s not professional and makes the impression as if you were doing the whole thing by the way. The future customer cannot classify these numbers thus has no insight into the work of the agency.
The skills bring very little as most customers have no idea what WordPress, Bootstrap or JavaScript is. Here, at the expense of the section performance of this area should be vanished or adjusted. Here you can refer to general topics such as web development or search engine optimization. And so please let the visitors understand.
There are also double themes – once for services and once for competences. The whole thing bites and doesn’t look good at content.
At the prices:
Although I have higher prices myself and work for other agencies, the prices for a WordPress site is far too high. I mean, I’d find a number of providers in your region that are much cheaper and offer more beautiful WordPress sites. I’m orienting myself according to your references. Here is a need for action and should be improved. Either the quality of the web design or the price.
So there are plenty of construction sites on the website that you should definitely optimize. Your web design skills are also welcome to grow further and should be trained more. Those who want to offer their services as a web designer should be able to have minor qualities to meet customers.
I wish you a lot of success with the website and I hope I could give tips to optimize your own offer.
PS: The source is a nightmare. Use HTML, CSS and JavaScript directly for your own website, if the skills are there, this is not a problem. In addition, the website will be much faster when loading.
After contacting him (because of acquaintance), he informed me that he had already made changes. A few things have already happened, some still come:
This is the current state and the prospects I’ve seen about. So he doesn’t tell a crap and already has some potential to improve, and he’s got a lot of criticism from me or from customers. These customers are now their regular customers and want to continue to have them for SEO. He only got the customers through recommendations from a few other customers he had.
In short: He’s air up, clear, but he sees one, he’s in, he’s actually getting better. Even when small steps first.
Then write your “recognized” that he has to improve a lot. He gives a lot of potential. He doesn’t need better skills in web design, because it doesn’t work professionally in my eyes without wanting to make it bad. In addition, it should not only put on WordPress at the customer’s sites, especially multi-track. If he offers in his performance Drupal, Joomla, Typo3 and WordPress, it is better than just offering a system. In addition, the page of your “known” is too slow to load. Here you can make charge optimization or change from WordPress to HTML, CSS, JavaScript or another CMS.
And : In terms of HTML, he wants to develop well and a joint project was entrusted to him from January 2025, which will also happen on the basis of HTML. In a team created by an old acquaintance. This sells its own software and has a few years more experience in the industry than my acquaintance. Should be a larger project where my friend is involved and has already gained experience in the past.
According to customers, he is not bad in his work, but his self-presentation often fails.
Why?
His uncertainty, fear, little experience in Germany would be possible because he has only lived and reported here since February. There is also the language barrier. However, it can be understood in German, but is partly broken or accented. However, he has some personal customer meetings behind him where the people were thrilled by him. Has it somehow managed with the language…
I think a good web designer should not only create beautiful websites, but also make sure that they are user-friendly and functional. This is particularly important when the website is intended for a company or for promotion of services.

Hello,
I can only agree with Destranix. I also found the cursor rather annoying, the pictures unfortunately do not have a good resolution, which one should definitely replace to make the page more professional. Because the first impression is really important. If you are looking for a web design agency in Munich, I would also recommend you look at the web design agency SEO cuisine in Munich. I worked with them myself and was really impressed by their professionalism and the comprehensive offer they offer. They not only have a lot of experience in web design, but also in SEO and online marketing, which is often a great advantage when it comes to improving the visibility of a website.
Their portfolio is very versatile, and the references speak for themselves – they have already worked for a variety of customers from different industries. In terms of customer service and communication, they were always very transparent and quickly took care of all concerns.
Maybe it’s worth taking a look at this agency before you meet your final decision. I think you are one of the best options when it comes to professional web design in Munich.

Greetings!
The web designer I showed, it can hardly be German. Dedicates his language, but with accent and broken. He has not completed or studied, but he has some customers since the beginning of this year. His customer base is supposed to grow and on Google he has a few good reviews of regular customers. How do you find his prices and the fact that he has neither degree nor degree?
well, I have to tell you honestly, that sounds more disgusting to me. Especially without graduation and studying, that would be important to me if I put my website in the hands of someone else that this skills can demonstrate.
that can also be, you can certainly teach yourself a lot but I would just feel better off at an experienced agency, according to the principle 4 eyes see more than 2. 🙂
He and few others always think that you don’t need a degree, study and degree to say nothing about competence in web design and exaggerate the Germans. Blades
Website not go without JavaScript: -1
Cookie Banner has a lean button: +1
Comic cursor; User-friendly and annoying: -1
Image on desktop in low resolution: -1
Many buttons; User-friendly: -1
Hidden Plates: -1
(Especially in mobile design you see only one plate and if you don’t know that there are several, you can easily overlook the buttons to change to the next plate).
In addition, I would pack pictures from the company headquarters and address somewhere on the main page. Evtl. still any team pictures or generally pictures of people, which also looks more attractive.
In the Mobilesign you also have to scroll to the most relevant information (address and contact details).
So it’s expandable, but on and for itself, the seven works, and it doesn’t seem grossly broken.
This alone already speaks for a certain professionalism.
This is a template and he thinks that even codes cost too much time. If it would go after him, then most likely only templates for sale for 2000€.
Natprlich builds the website with templates, otherwise it would be insane, since you would have to implement everything twice and three times and legally it would also be difficult, because of copyright and so.
The sales tax ID indicated on the website seems to be invalid, as far as I could check it myself. This is also the tool used.
He also claims that one does not need training or studies for this job. For him are all ridiculous Germans who complete a degree in IT. He thinks it’s going without better. Is that right?
You don’t necessarily need a study or training, but it would be advisable to have at least the latter.
If he means. Is his risk in case of doubt.
And where I said that his customers could also get problems as his tax number is invalid and want to deduct taxes, he said: “What should I do? I don’t know, tax advisor clarifies that!”
I told him. He thinks that he doesn’t have to do anything, but only his tax advisor alone needs to clarify this. He’s waiting for a letter from the tax office. He had to wait for a new number.
I don’t know. I would possibly say that an invalid sales tax ID on the side can lead to depreciations. If he knows he should understand this, because it is also with his job to pay attention to the legal conformity of the imprint.
What is best to do now? Report? The VAT ID no longer seems to be up to date.
He said he had moved from the small business. That’s all I know. He said that his tax advisor should do this, he doesn’t want to do anything, he said it was too much bureaucracy in Germany.
With the sales tax ID I couldn’t validate, that would be to dubios.
And its website is certainly nothing that customers want. Have you ever seen such a cursor on any other website?
Whether the company really exists in the place where it is registered, I could not check on Google Street View you don’t see all sides of the building.
He has neither training nor studies and comes from Poland. Registered business here and thinks it’s going to be great. Now some customers already jump on SEO as they thought they didn’t pay unnecessary and don’t come to place 1. He himself admits that he has acquired his own professional experience. Through courses and books…
