Random sidenote: I feel that a ton of sites have the exact same visual style as kinsta. Is this a template or something? If so, which one is it?

More of a trend, I call it the Stripe-design language/style, since they are becoming famous for design a lot of people use that as inspiration, it probably converts well, observed common features: Gradients Diagonal limits between sessions, these escape a little bit from traditional HTML-boxed content and suggest scroll-down behavior. Top left Logo, top menubar for quick navigation. Text to the left, images to the right

no clue but I also love the style. Seen it everywhere and can't seem to figure it out.

      The way we do stuff like this is hunt around Shutterstock till we find the right style, look at what the illustrator's other files are, download the ones we like, and join together elements to make whatever we want. I imagine said illustrators could be commissioned as well, but we've never done that. For example, I searched for "people working" and this was result #2 which is in a similar style: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/set-isometric-business-people-teamwork-meeting-438955813 https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/set-isometric-busi... .. and the illustrator in question has numerous graphics along a similar style: https://www.shutterstock.com/g/yindee https://www.shutterstock.com/g/yindee .. this was just the first one I found, there are hundreds of such illustrators, though. "isometric" is another good word to use in searches, BTW, see https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=isometric+elements https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=isometric+ele... for example.

  Her personal site is terrible though, slow loading, 3.2Mb, has to compile and run all the javascript before it even starts displaying anything. Why listen to someone who's basically got the new version of a flash website? Also, try making your screen half width, as if you had two browser windows side-by-side, something I do regularly. I mean, it's one thing to throw mud about everyone copying stripe, it's another when your own site is shockingly bad. All it does is show that perhaps it's better to have designers copy successful designs given what they'll sometimes do left to their own devices.
