Apple’s website uses minimal and clean designs. The layout focuses on images with short and sweet text to highlight products. The navigation bar is simple and consistent across all pages, making it easy to move between sections. There are animations for scrolling and I found those smooth and engaging, they make the site feel modern and interactive.
Design takeaway: I would use strong visuals and minimal text on my own site to keep it clean and professional.

Airbnb’s website is simple and focused on helping people search for places to stay. The search bar is in the center of the page, so it is the first thing you see. The colors are soft and the layout is neat. It is easy to move around the site without getting lost or confused.
