I love it! But I think that when scrolling, the Villa's image could be a little smaller, so that the user can focus more on the information and still be able to view the images. You help me a lot! Thanks

hey even i commented the same thing 🤭and then saw your comment
Hello Rachel, 🙋 I am a first year student in a Design college📖 in India. Ever since I got into design field I had this imposter syndrome😿. I always watched your videos and I used to think "wow. I wanna do all this too!".🥳 I started designing and sharing it to the world but I didn't got any clients😷. Then I started posting my designs into competitions and eventually won a few competitions☺. And finally clients started approaching me! 😄 When I earned my first money I was shaking😲! Because all the rejection I faced was scary to me. But it made me strong, very strong.😺 And I am incredibly happy to announce that recently I won a very amazing gig (💵). All thanks to you and your videos. You are a great inspiration to all the new designers who are getting in this field. 👏 I am looking forward to create a work life balance and pay my college tuition👨🎓. Everything is going great and I am growing both financially and mentally! I hope you are having an amazing day too! Keep up the good work!😊
Can you create a course that teaches UI/UX and everything that you do (specially the Research, Analysis, Discovery Process, etc)? I really want to learn from you and I’m happy to pay for it

Incredible and very well-thought out! From just a quick glance, the original looks pretty good and functional, but there were in fact, many areas of improvement that can be exposed if you train yourself to develop a more critical eye for the user's experience. As a casual viewer of design work (I'm not a designer), it's really refreshing and informative to see the before and after, as well as your thought process behind design decisions to flaws in the original that I never would've thought of.

It's impressive and very interesting, even when we're not designers, it helps understanding the process behind every UI thanks !

To see your thought process in identifying areas of improvement from a real, existing design, and actually improving it has far more educational value for more intermediate level designers looking for more than just "here are some cool color palettes and fonts to play with". Option 2 is definitely my preference. Having the persistent images seems like a better experience to keep users enticed.

You just taught me how to critically analyze a UI design. Would keep coming back to this video and will surely use the learnings to analyze better next time
Amazing work ❤
Very nice redesign. Only three things cought my eye: 1 - scroll indicator and view holding current image of x number (i.e. 3/20) is there for the same purpose, I'd leave only one (most likely 3/20 cuz it looks clean) 2 - $73.00 NIGHT it's a bit unusual to see price shown like than, I'd add / to have it like "$73.00/ NIGHT", but I like that NIGHT is smallet font, I love to do that too! 3 - Bottom holder view that holds Book Now button is missing smth... text colors could be more clear maybe, top spacing for Book Now button feels too small and the background kinda out of context... Would put white background give top light shadow and instead of gray for NIGHT and date texts I'd do black. But of course it's easy to comment me now :D overall all you're great! Love these redesign videos - Subscribed! Please keep it up!

Really inspiring work by Rachel. Thankyou for your time and effort for helping aspiring UX designers and professionals improve skills throughout our UX journey. Thankyou for helping me understand the UX/UI thought process as I see it live. Also, the redesigned product is so clean and simple. But have a suggestion on the position of CTA button "Book Now". Could you please check the spacing/padding from the rectangle or mother container it is kept on. Correct me if I am wrong using the terminolgies used here. I am new & on my way exploring more on UX.
I loved the way option 2 turned out. Love this series. Pls, keep on uploading this as a series. And the presentation video. Can you like make a video on how to present designs like that (It gives me Ad Vibes, lol)

Hi, Rachel, I have been following your videos for quite some time they are really informative and insightful. As a new UI/UX designer I really appreciate the work you put in to help all of us. I really liked the prototype video you made. I was just wondering how you made that video, So if you could share some insight regarding the process or the tool used it would be really helpful. Thank you keep up the great work!! 😁
It is great! Can you put a video on how to create that prototype video with animations?
Brilliant 😍
This redesign is fantastic! I'm absolutely in love with it. Would you be kind enough to provide some guidelines regarding the sizing of various elements such as buttons, padding, font size, and anything related to building a UI system?
can u make a vid explaining how u do the ad video with a prototype in different viewpoints? great video!❤
Thanks for this amazing video, I love the way you work ! Can I ask you how you made that last video with the rotating mockup and so on ?
Great tutorial! I love your analysis and the final result is indeed functional and feels luxurious. Could you tell me what did you use to create the video to present the design? Thanks! :)
at least once a week I watch this video... it reminds me that what I thought was "fairly correct" is completely incorrect... Thank you for your beautiful work!

Thanks for watching! To do the showcase video, I prototyped it in Figma, then I use Rotato for the cool animations. I reached out to the Rotato team and got a 25% off promo code. From now till 12 July 2023, go to rotato.app, apply code ‘RACHEL’ when you checkout for 25% off. Btw, it’s one-time payment, no monthly subscription ☺️
I love how you presented the product at the end. May know the sites you used for the mockup presentation?
Love the final results Rachel. Another exploration I would've considered would have been to make each amenity and its icon, take a pill shape form with a light bg color and stack them side by side and wrap those that wouldn't fit on one line, Or even make them scrollable

Looks better than the original. Like others have said, Option 2 sacrifices a lot of screen real estate to images. If the client pushed for keeping the images on screen, you could scale it down on scrolling till the image width is about half the screen width and transition it into a horizontal scroll view with the other images. I do like the sticky CTA on the bottom, but with this much scrolling, there should be a "scroll-to-top" button available to the user. Standard practice is to put that towards the bottom-trailing portion of the screen, but with that taken by the CTA bar, maybe the top trailing? Either way, looks great. Nice work
I Love that you think 3 hours is a lot but I'm truly amazed by the result in just 3 hours, I want to work with you!
Excellent 💐
I love it❤
Love the redesign. 1h vs 3h ; isn’t that always how it goes?! Using accordions and the horizontal scroll are some of my favorites to organize the text. Sigh, good up writing… it IS such an important skill and I’m lacking. Even just for the placeholder text that won’t go on the final site. Thx for showing us all the preliminary research that’s essential prior to beginning the design. That’s often skipped in How To videos. Great video!
