Love Letter logo Love Letter #042
Finally shipped my new personal One Pager + blog, now built with Webflow using Mast.

Also been adding more visuals/context to my project graveyard. What a ride (failing forward) getting to work on OPL full-time!

Look out for a case-study soon on moving over from WordPress to Webflow. Wasn't too bad and feels good to have a fresh start (with no plugins to update). Shout-out to Matt Evans for helping with the build.

Below are my favorite websites, UI components, templates & finds featured on One Page Love since I last wrote. You can also read this edition online. Hope it keeps the inspo topped up!
Rob Hope Much love,

Visual Expression in Web Design Visit โž
  Experimental One Pager (with content loading up in iFrames) demonstrating the Visual Expression in Web Design. Author Jonas Pelzer shares context "I'm developing an experimental design tool which aims to show that a large visual variance can be achieved by manipulating individual design parameters. To gain further insights, I created five single-page websites on different topics with fictitious content that can be designed with the tool on a desktop computer. To avoid design decisions being influenced by browser default styles, the design parameters are randomized at the beginning. Your contribution to designing one or more of these pages would be invaluable to my research. Results will be documented by clicking the submit design button at the end of your design process."   Jonas Pelzer Jonas PelzerPro

Landing Page Hot Tip
Try font smoothing

Hot Tip #59 is to consider font smoothing.

Simply put, adding the CSS font-smooth property to a font will trim it down very slightly.

While this effect wonโ€™t look great on all of your Landing Page typography, itโ€™s particularly effective on โ€˜chunkyโ€™ fonts.

When applied correctly, it can really help polish your typography.

ps. this 14-year-old piece by Krzysztof Szafranek is still the best explanation of font smoothing Iโ€™ve read.
