True, some are related to design. When working on a small team, for small businesses, or for personal projects (so from my experience), you tend to find yourself doing double duty as developer and designer.

I tend to be pretty opinionated in my personal blog posts 😂. This one was inspired by a particularly frustrating experience with a very pretty website that didn't work very well. It's not meant to an end-all-by-all guide, but rather some things to think about that I come across often.

I know your situation and I've lived it myself but... Then, to avoid this kind of issues you'll need to dig deeper in Color theory, Shape and Form, digital composition and a pair more of subjects if you want to properly design a good product and even that, you'll make mistakes because it's a completely different job even being related...

just try to focus in what it serves you and always apply the KISS principle so you don't get burnt down by tedious processes and the feeling that you can't get further :)
