I help founders whose work is serious but whose site looks like a side project & costs them deals | Founder @thisis_riveting | Free 30-min Clarity Review ⬇️

Most websites are designed to appeal to everyone.

Riveting design does the opposite.

Riveting design captures your ideal clients and turns away nightmare ones.

That’s where better enquiries come from.

@albertolco88 @MetaMask @iota @letgo Nice to meet you Albert! I'm Elijah, founder of a design agency. It's our mission to help founders have a site which brings in not just any client, but the right kind of clients who understand the value of their work and are ready to commit. What product are you building?

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@fedepontehq Hey Fede! I'm Elijah, a designer & Webflow developer founding a design agency. We build sites for founders which match the seriousness of the work they produce. Recently, I've been training Claude to build in Webflow via the MCP the same way I do - going great so far!

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@aymanmsb Spending an hour tweaking a button vs. realising there's no traffic to the website.

Next level cope.

@sophie_launch Hey Sophie, I'm Elijah, also from the UK 🇬🇧! I'm founding a web design agency, helping founders who care about their craft but want a site that looks the part. Launch Llama's service looks great! How'd you come to this kind of "AEO" for AI startups idea?

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@thezigmon With practice though, you build that bias to action like a muscle until it becomes a reflex. You realise feedback - not constant tweaking - moves the needle. And you only get feedback by putting yourself out there.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@thezigmon Sometimes, you have to switch off that part of your brain telling you to stop if you're particularly conscious of unfinished work. I'm a designer, and it's so easy to want to go back and tidy up that spacing, or that animation a little instead of just shipping to the client.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@thezigmon When it's a stranger, it hits different since you feel the weight of knowing that that person took a leap of faith on you and your service/product. It's the first true vote of confidence in what you're building as the next chapter in your life.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@haukejung Designers & developers, like myself, swing between one tool to many tools who can each do their jobs better. Finally, we return to the next tool to rule them all & the cycle repeats. It's divergence, convergence, and back again. Eventually you accept just going with the flow.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@bluepeak_maker Hi Pierre! I'm curious whether your parent-focused apps are an ecosystem with shared users, or if they're each an independent venture. I'm founding a design agency, so I'm interested in how people are structuring things.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@aiwithphil @X Hey Phil, I'm Elijah. I'm building a web design agency for founders, focusing on how sites drive perception rather than just aesthetics. Great consistency by the way, building for 30 years! What's been the hardest thing to get right at Blue Coast Water?

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@aiwithphil Indeed, always probe to know all the details from a client before getting down to business. There's nothing worse than overcommitting to an under-budgeted project. That is a sure-fire way to scope-creep.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@lizlizzzliz Hey Liz - $23k MRR is a serious climb!

Are clients finding you mostly through X or other social channels? I couldn't spot a website on your profile, and I'm wondering where I could see the work your agency's been doing.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@marcelkargul @figma @paper Hit the nail on the head there! Is this direction going to be used for any website development or is it just branding for now?

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@theroborourke 1 for sure, as I feel that encapsulates the funnel mindset best. You've talked about targeting different parts of the funnel to clients at different levels readiness to work with you, which you could see in the shrinking ellipses.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@marcelkargul @clear_graphics Especially here in the UK. It's like a desert here 🏜️.

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@devinv97 How much water will you/the data centre use to put it out? 😂

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@krealdesign Nice to see that you're levelling up!

[Elijah @thisis_elijah]

@Liminal1988 People who don't see this chronically get in their own way of happiness. It ranges from mindless consumption to perfectly designing a day out without accounting for the natural mishaps which make life spontaneous. We need to depart from certainty to some extent to be happy.
