Connect: behind the front-end experience

Their landing pages are just so beautiful, like fine art. I do wonder though the return on investment. The pages must take forever to create. Perhaps Stripe just has that much cash.

I think it's an extension of the excellent work that goes into their entire front-end. There's a great mix of functionality to simplicity that makes me be able to unambiguously recommend it for people starting out with CC payments.

Or perhaps, Stripe has front-end engineers that really know what they're doing.

The leadership team at Stripe seem to have a refreshingly simple and holistic view about how they run their business: they see that growing e-commerce as a whole is good for them, because it makes the pie bigger and they're getting a slice of it.

Much of what they do supports that overall strategy, from making attractive things for developers to some of the high-profile hires and acquisitions they've been making recently. Apparently the strategy is a good one, because here we all are talking about them on a site full of entrepreneurial types, and today it's not because of the service they provide but just because of their landing pages. :-)

Its definitely well worth it. Presentation is so fucking important outside of the insanely meritocratic programming world... I've seen this play out many many times...

...or perhaps Stripes just take pride in their work.

Well deserved pride. It should be customary to showcase a frontend project with brilliant landing pages :)

I always imagined they would be called 'Stripers' but now realize why it could go horribly wrong when saying it loud.

Paypal is far bigger Stripe, so it's not that.

That doesn't mean Stripe is small.

The landing pages don't look very difficult to implement, but yes, the design is beautiful.
