Does anyone still use TinyPNG in 2026?

Curious how many people still use TinyPNG for image compression, or if most of you have moved to Squoosh, ImageOptim, build step automation, CDN optimization, or browser based tools.

I still see it mentioned a lot, but I’m wondering what the actual workflow is today. Manual upload? API? Figma/plugin? Something else?

Redesigned my product page to be cleaner and easier to scan. Better buying experience or did I overcomplicate it?

I run a digital product store selling design digital assets for clothing brands. My old product page was just a default Shopify theme layout with the full description dumped on it. It made sales but never looked finished to me, more like a template I forgot to touch.

I rebuilt it to be cleaner and easier to scan (hopefully). Before and after are below.

OLD - Product Page
NEW - Product Page

Mainly want to know if the new one feels frictionless, if it's a better buying experience than the old one overall, and if anything got harder to find/understand for the consumer.

Most of my sales are on mobile so that's the view I care about most. Not trying to add more info, just want it to read better. PLEASE be brutally honest!

[Showoff Saturday] New Site Theme: “2026 Professional”

Don Schnitzius — Websites Interfaces and Web Platforms

This is my portfolio site for web design, UI, and WordPress projects. I’m looking for feedback on design, UX, and copy.

I updated my website a few months back and posted it to Reddit for comments. Aside from love for the copy, and hate for using AI images, the “storybook” vibe I was going for didn’t seem to resonate with folks. So I decided to give in to the wisdom of the crowd and went for a “Claude, build me a website” theme.

I am once again asking for your support: is this an improvement?

The AI images are unchanged, but I plan to do a round of revision on those. The theme switcher is new, and I also added two case studies to the Work page based on advice.

If folks have any useful, constructive comments — errors I missed, suggestions for improvement — I’d love to hear them.

( Here’s the previous version for comparison. )

I built this interactive, elegant but fun landing page

I love fun, but elegant design and tried to make a little playground here.

I don't care for conversions here, so it's not optimized for that.

Just a fun pretty site, with some effects.

clientplane.com In case you want to play around – I'm not selling anything btw.
only thing will be a UI kit I'm working on, so please spare me mods.

If needed, I can deactivate the waitlist, if that helps

The sheer amount of bloat clients want to inject into clean designs is insane

just spent weeks getting a client site perfectly optimized and looking beautiful. The moment we hand it over they tell me to add this massive legacy support widget that literally covers up the mobile nav menu and tanks the page speed by 30 points

It feels like the whole industry is just obsessed with plastering annoying popups over everything. I managed to talk them down into just using yaplet since it's lighter and doesn't completely break my layout, but the constant battle is so exhausting

Why even pay for a custom design if you're just going to bury the ui in marketing clutter anyway tbh.

Creating a website out of a PDF?

Hello! I'm currently working on writing a book, and the way I'd like to share it by making it it's own website you can read it from. I'd like to keep the formatting from the pages in my pdf, so I'd like it to either be scrollable pages or something like a flip book or a "click to next page" function, aswell as a nav that can take the user to a specific chapter or page/allow them to bookmark it. The only solutions I find for this online is converters that make customizability (ie background colors, adjusting page size etc) really complicated, so I'd like to attempt to do it manually with HTML/CSS (or/and JavaScript if I have to.)

Does any one have any tips for how to go about doing something like this? I'm intermediate in making HTML/CSS sites, so coding isn't a problem for me, it's just embedding the pdf that I'm struggling with!

Thank you!

If every website had to remove one UI element, what would you choose?

Pop-ups, carousels, cookie banners, mega menus... Which one would you happily see disappear forever?

In browsing through some award-winning sites, my eyes are exhausted from too much animation and design overkill. The endless scrolling and searching for the next feature to click to learn anything. Is it only me who wants an old school "still" page? No distractions, just info.

And it's not just award-winning sites, it's any who receive heavier traffic. Does anyone do eye-friendly designs? The kind that don't give you an instant headache.

Non-technical site builder recommendation (not webflow)?

We’re a SaaS brand looking to get our site off Webflow into something new.

Looking for a site builder recommendation that:

  • Doesn’t require coding knowledge to use (even a little)
  • Can have AI features like generating initial page, but MUST allow full manual control to make changes without needing to dictate those changes to AI to make
  • Not new. Looking for an established brand (just no small-time brands).

I recently tried Ploy. Wanted to rip my hair out as it doesn’t really let you make changes without asking its AI to do it, which it always gets wrong.

Don’t want to use Webflow. We’re too dependant on having a “Webflow developer” to make every little update for us.

I want something our non-technical designer can simply use and work with.
