“Hello I am!” – a Cool Trend or Getting Old? 20 Web Design Examples

November 30th, 2011 Posted in Inspiration

You have probably seen the trend where designers/freelancers go ahead and introduce themselves right away on their websites. It has been a trend for quite some time now, but is it still cool? We’ll let you decide for yourself. We think it’s pretty cool still, – as long as there’s some creativity and innovation involved. We think that by introducing yourself on your landing page, you’ll have a chance of immediately connection with your visitor. In some cases it’ll definitely be a good thing to be more personal and less professional.

Here are some examples of how it can be done.

Enjoy!

    It all feels kinda douchey-hipster-snarky to me.


  2. Tom Says:

    I personally think it is overdone nowadays. It is definitely good to have the personal approach, but I would like to see people doing this via other means.

    Having – “My name is Tom and I like to design stuff”. Does that really tell anyone much?
