    Heavily animated websites don’t convert. period.

    Animated websites although look stunning for visitors especially for those visiting through a pc or laptop, but they rarely convert a visitor, rather they distract him more to bounce back from the site.

    That’s why even though Apple has an animated landing page for each of their products, they have separate buying pages which has simpler checkout and buying experience that makes the process seamless without any heavy or any animations at all.

    Animations aren’t bad, they should be purposeful. Micro interactive animations engage with the visitors and makes them stay longer on the page. But heavily animated pages, load slower, which breaks the experience of the visitors.

    Google after the AI era, is taking the Core Web Vitals even more seriously. The page should load in a blink of an eye speed. Yes, I’m not kidding. It’s very hard to speed up a website with that speed, unless it’s hard coded.

    The animated pages are primarily black or darker in color which makes difficult to find the CTA of the page, and conversions don’t happen that easily.

    Manier times the animation that works in desktop mode, doesn’t play that way in the mobile view, and breaks the complete experience of it and making it look cheap or incomplete. or sometime break the mobile view of the page completely.

    Many users have physical accessibility issue with motional sensitivity, those users always leave without checking anything at all.

    In today’s swiping and scrolling generation attention is very finite. and making pages animated it decreases the attention even more.

    Creaftmanship and selling should be kept differently as Apple does it excellently.

    Accessibility should be given priority always.

    The conversion should happen generally within a minute that the visitor lands on the page. Unless a sale is lost.

    A/B testing makes it easy for future clarity, so to prove this you can try an A/B testing in ads and as well as landing pages of your website/app.

    But Animation in micro interactions like button click, after purchase successful confirmation, notifications, transaction progress animation, product demo animation does work in some cases and do make the experience better. For e.g. UPI, where Micro interaction animation plays a big role in making a successful transaction in any UPI app.

    For Sales and Leads, Conversions should be given the topmost priority.

    Design for conversions first. Beauty second. Because Speed + clarity + trust = results

  • WordPress is not my priority tech anymore!

    WordPress is not my priority tech anymore!

    It’s almost a decade that I had been using WordPress as my passion and priority technology either for my own portfolio website or for my clients freelancing projects.

    I started seriously in 2017 to build sites with WordPress, It’s 2026. Roughly 9 years. But I was learning this since very long even before 2015 or 2016.

    I was fallen for the fact that I can publish my thoughts through my own website on my own server, slowly I discovered that I could build a website where products can be sold, it can also work as a web app, that too writing even any single line of code which truly blow my mind off.

    But sadly, since very long time, not even months but years, there’s no native WordPress development from the author’s side. Although we’re in a brink of the release of WordPress 7.0, I could see no significant improvement other than the block editor which is a good move from the classic editor.

    The WordPress for basic functionalities also needs 10-15 external plugins and codes to make a site work smoother, not faster with core basic functionalities.

    While UX Design was improving in 2021 – 2022 worldwide and wide popularity of web design and publishing platforms like Webflow and Framer, WordPress just lost the race and never tried to innovate.

    While I was progressing as a designer, but being not able to copy those basic UI designs on a live WordPress website made me think for alternatives, While I tried other web tools like Webflow or Framer, I was not satisfied for the fact that I’ve to pay for this every month or every year and also it’s a proprietary software not OpenSource.

    Then my search started and ended up at Coding!

    I started learning coding basics like the HTML and CSS. But gave up in the middle due to my zero interest in learning a coding language which I was always against for.

    I always believed in creating some meaningful. I am not that mathematical inside. I believed that creating something should be easy and seamless. It also should be cheap or affordable and worldclass. Which WordPress was fulfilling for a long period of time. This current article which you’re reading right now is also written with WordPress on my personal blog for your information.

    I’ve solved many big problems for big companies by having websites on WordPress and generating revenue for their businesses.

    Then I started learning about the Roadmap of Website development deeper.

    I was very sure for the fact that my WordPress experience will definitely help me in scaling and boosting my development career and passion in the future.

    Then AI arrived.

    Yes it’s generative AI, that reshaped the way I think, I design, I write and eventually I code.

    Yes, even though I am decent in writing in code now, I don’t write code at all. I use AI.

    Yes.

    I completely shifted to coding for basic website development needs and got introduced to many other technologies and frameworks that made the journey more interesting and fruitful eventually.

    And by that time, I was sick and tired of the bloatware tech in WordPress and it’s external plugins which made the sites slow and worst. The manual design took days which client was not ready to pay extra for the time. As in India, you’re paid lumpsum for a project no based upon hours.

    Everything came to a point for instant delivery. Instant results. Instant satisfaction. Zero efforts and inputs from the client’s side as well.

    Security was another concern from WordPress side. Then the Automatic vs Hosting company drama, Maintenance fatigue, the plugin dependency trap, all made me to go away from WordPress and choose AI and modern React based frameworks for most of my works as most of the sites will be static, business, portfolio or blog related websites only.

    So now the ecosystem has changed primarily towards a react based development framework.

    I’ve majority of tools like Lovable, Bolt, V0, Trae IDE and VS Code and Finally I chose Cursor as my preferred IDE for most of my developments which will be made with React.

    Nextjs became my go to framework and GitHub & Vercel as my day to day deployment and Hosting partner.

    While I was very rigid for WordPress, Eventually I started looking for open source in coding also NextJS is a Vercel product I’ve been busy looking for more sustainable frameworks and tools that will be selfhosted and open source primarily to become cost efficient and product world class websites and products.

    Then I have partnered with a small development team who consistently help my development journey and freelancing projects.

    Came to the world of Headless CMS from WordPress. For e.g. started using Strapi, Sanity and Payload for blogs related applications and websites.

    Ghost for standalone blogging websites as it’s selfhosted and open source and modern as well.

    Now I even gave up designing as well, Because UX is now all there in the internet and my AI models like Claude or Gemini can access them and design and replicate in few seconds, there’s no need to spend hours of time redesigning screens myself.

    Even though I am away from WordPress now, But I’m tracking the progress of the platform, the moment I’ll use this technology when I’ll get a handsome amount of money to design and build pages in WordPress natively which will be a manual effort and worth the time spend. Or if there’s some notable improvements from the core WordPress software which will make my mind to get back to it. Until then it’s a pause.

  • Use Agentic AI as your team in your freelancing agency

    Ai is a must learn in 2026.

    It’s not about losing your job due to AI, Rather it’s upgrading your skill set and increasing revenue by utilising it and easing your workflow.

    Now to have multiple clients and manage multiple things you don’t need a big team. It’s totally possible with AI.

    For example, I myself started as a graphic designer primarily in 2020 professionally in the industry, but today I’m able to do full stack development with modern technologies like React, Nextjs, Javascript and tools like Supabase, Sanity, Strapi etc with AI code editors like Cursor, Antigravity, Lovable, Bolt, V0 etc.

    So the market will be all yours in few years if you master this new technologies and use new agentic AIs like Open Claw (I named it Chitti ) to deligate tasks, like you’ll do it to any of your team.

    Remember in future you’ll pay more in Ai credits, rather than employees Salary in an agency or freelancing business.

    As RajeevMehta sir is rightly saying in his new video about the importance of learning about these new terms like .md(markdown files), JSON, API, Tokens, MCP will play vital role in your future projects, so be ready!

    If you’re a creative professional like me and still using ChatGPT for your day to day content needs, then I think you should think twice. Claude is the best and top notch of thinking like humans and best content writers in the world.

    If the Claude limit is exceeded, try Gemini.

    Dear founders, directors and business owners

    Just as it’s vital to gather feedback from clients, it is equally important to have a live, end-to-end channel for employees to share suggestions and complaints with management.

    This ensures seamless communication and leaves no room for excuses that ‘everything is fine’ at the ground level.

  • Digiboxx review: The worst cloud storage service I’ve ever used!

    Digiboxx review: The worst cloud storage service I’ve ever used!

    Digiboxx is an Indian google drive alternative. and let me be honest.

    Initially I was excited that this is an Indian brand, and tailored for Indian minds with the most budget thing, but lately they disappointed me.

    image
    Current Pricing model of Digiboxx

    As I deal with huge data like images, videos in day to day life, I thought to choose the 1 TB plan first.

    image 1
    My Subscription insights

    I’ve seen their about page saying supported by Government of India, Startup India, Niti aayog, and many more, but my question is, is this what the government talking and working on the technology side?

    I mean really?

    This is a plan to fool the customers.

    The Upload Speed is disaster!

    As of now I’m unable to upload a folder which is around 10gb in size. And

    image 2

    Only 1GB is utilized as of now out of the 1TB. The upload is like 5kbps and stops in the middle. The screen freezes!

    Google drive is 1000000x Better!

    Promise is not enough, when you’re charging for your services promised, you’ve to deliver.

    And they are not at all concerned about it.

    Coming to Download, it’s even more worse!

    You can’t download your uploaded files, they just keep loading and loading and loading!!

    image 3
    These downloads of size less than 1gb (i’m saying this size generously) is trying to be downloading since 1 hour!

    This is really frustrating to spend hours to upload few GB/MBs of data unto this platform, Leave the encryption thing a side.

    If you’re trying to buy the subscription I’ll highly recommend to stay away from this platform. Rather invest on external drives or buy more expensive storage on Google drive.

    I don’t see any genuine customer review on X or online.

    If you’re a genuine user of this product you can comment below. If you’re someone from the team Digiboxx, you can contact through my email ID below to sort out the issue.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  • The Best Image Generation Model in 2025, And it’s not Nano Banana!

    The Best Image Generation Model in 2025, And it’s not Nano Banana!

    Let’s be honest, Seedream 4 isn’t just another AI image generation model. It’s the game-changer we’ve been waiting for. After trying out everything from GPT’s image tools to Nano Bana, Firefly, and Flux, nothing comes close to what Seedream 4 delivers.

    The quality? Insane. No weird artifacts, no over-smoothing, no lossy compression that ruins the details you worked so hard to describe. You get pure, sharp, high-resolution images straight out of the box, like something crafted by a real artist, not an algorithm.

    What really blows my mind is how it handles light, texture, and depth. The results don’t just look good; they feel cinematic. You can sense that extra polish, that human touch, even though it’s all AI. Whether you’re generating concept art, product shots, or cinematic portraits, Seedream 4 makes every frame look ready to post, print, or drop into your project without extra editing.

    Simply put, Seedream 4 is miles ahead of the curve. It’s not just about speed or variety anymore, it’s about consistency, realism, and that “wow” factor that other models still struggle to capture.
