IMO Stripe’s design isn’t great. It’s polished but thats orthogonal I think. There are too many unnecessary animations, effects, random diagonal patterns, and the whole thing feels the opposite of “snappy”. Well, then what’s an example of a good website design - I personally really like https://sourcehut.org
These things are subjective though. Stripe’s design is decorative. Besides, “Decoration is crime” cliches, deep down inside I personally belong to the functional design or “no design” camp.
