Two Years and over 700 Websites Later

I'm really proud that two websites I designed and built are on that list, but especially proud of https://foodpartners.us/ which unlike a lot of the sites isn't a blog but is a full brochure style website for a business that would normally load many MB of crap if built by a normal agency.

Wow. It's great, you have a reason to be proud.

Clean, to the point, light, crazy fast, zero bloat, no external trackers. And it looks nice.

The only thing I don't like are the banners that waste precious vertical space when seen on a 14" laptop, but can't blame you for that, given how prevalent it is nowadays.

There is one external tracker - Google Analytics. But blocked obvs if you use uBlock etc...

I also designed and built this site in 2016 - over half a decade ago and it still looks and feels modern. It's an interesting look at how web design trends have slowed down from how things went from 2000-2010 to 2014-Present.

You should be proud! That’s an excellent website. It’s clear, usable, attractive, light, fast, informative, and obvious. A wild outlier, in other words :)

I like the clean design, but the marketing copy could use work. For example, "We’re the leading southeast new business specialists" doesn't mean a lot, and also has a typo (region names should be capitalized).

I'm impressed by how 'normal'/modern some of these sites (including the Food Partners one) look for how small they are! My sites are small, but they also look like they were made in 2000.

That's definitely a snappy and clean website. My only issue is the low resolution banner image.

I would guess that increasing the resolution would bring the site over the 1MB limit though. So there's a trade off, increase the resolution for a nicer looking site, but fall off the 1MB list for free advertising.

Nice website! Light and concise.

This is probably a me problem but I read “Southeast” as Southeast Asia. Not the Southeast region of the U.S. I kept scrolling down and got confused for a second while it hit me what “Southeast” actually meant.

Edit: thinking about it a little more, it might be because I live on the west coast and think of Southeast Asia food more than Southeast US food.

Snappy website.

I also find it amazing to read about businesses that I had no idea existed.
