Exited my SaaS in 2019 and quit the internet. Three years later, I came back from the dead. Running Beyond the Pixel, UX Design Studio.

Instant inline validation is a source of pressure and frustration for new users. Give them time before you pounce!

It's also a pet peeve :(

So, I haven't put my prices up since forever, and let's face it, life has gotten expensive. On January 1st, I'll be increasing prices across the board.

When was the last time you increased your rates? How did it go?

Old isn’t always good… although usually it is better 😅

Your SaaS could probably learn a thing or two from newspapers. Strong hierarchy— clear fonts, consistent spacing, and smart layouts—can make all the difference.

Is your app guiding users or leaving them wondering what to do next? 🤔

Does your SaaS feel like a cluttered desk? Poor hierarchy could well be to blame.

Just as newspapers mastered the art of guiding readers’ eyes, your app needs to do the same. Typefaces, fonts, spacing, color, and structure all play a role. Founders, how does your app stack up?

Did you know I specialize in UX reviews for B2B SaaS? Did you also know that the majority fail to meet basic accessibility standards?

Poor design choices affect more than accessibility. They impact your MRR. Do you want your SaaS to be accessible to a larger audience?

2.2 billion people have visual impairments—that’s a BIG number. Using low contrast ratios in your SaaS isn’t just a poor design choice; it’s a missed opportunity to serve a massive audience.

How would improving accessibility by just a few % impact your bottom line?

Definitely buying old hand tools for woodworking. A little before and after restoration example for you 😀
