What visual element do you think makes your website stand out the most?

Whether you update your site’s look frequently or stick with one evergreen look, it’s likely you’ve spent quite some time designing every corner of your website. Which visual element of your website are you most proud of? Which do you think makes your site stand out the most?

My site, the landing page first, then the photos page, then all the rest. I guess I am most proud of the images I have on the site.

I always spend a lot of time on the typography because I am a bit of a type nerd lol!

So for me it is the typography first then the colour palette.

It depends on the style of the website. Some might for example go all in with a contrasty color palette, while some do very well with unique typography.

For me, it is smooth animations, and I try to add it as much as possible. One animated element that makes the site stand out from the rest (I think), is the animated gradient headings:

I would say the color scheme and images, both used thoughtfully in order to create a cohesive look that will make the website stand out from the competition and create a visually pleasing effect.

I am completely new on SQSP and am trying to build my web site to sell my art. I have seen a landing page featuring a "person" walking by a glass named art gallery looking through the glass at images on the inside walls of the person's artwork. Does anyone know from where I can get that template?

I would say good typography is key! 

From my perspective there is so much detail you can get into when it comes to assigning your font sizes, colors, and hierarchy. It also looks very professional and creative when done right. 

Sometimes, I think it icons. That said, I think this element sometimes helps user to understand how to switch different section of the website, especially, browsing a menu of your website.

Eye-catching images or graphics
Interesting typography
Creative use of whitespace
Interactive features like animations or videos
Consistent branding and messaging throughout the site
Clear navigation and user-friendly layout
High-quality and responsive design across all devices

All valid points, great list. I just want to comment on "across all devices" and emphasize how important this is (even if it doesn't fall under "a visual element that makes a website stand out"). Optimizing for all screens is something I've seen being forgotten more times than I can remember. 

I am the worst designer, so I tried to focus on the functionality of the element more than the look&feel.

There are several visual elements that can make a website stand out, depending on the design and purpose of the website. However, one of the most impactful visual elements that can make a website stand out is the use of high-quality, visually appealing images or videos.

Images and videos can immediately capture the attention of visitors and convey a message or emotion in a powerful way. They can help to establish the tone and style of the website and create a memorable impression on visitors. Additionally, the use of visually striking graphics, icons, and animations can also enhance the visual appeal of a website and make it stand out.

The first things that come to mind for me are imagery, colour palette and typography. But if i had to choose just one, i would say typography - i think it can have a huge impact on the overall vibe of a website and can convey a lot about the brand personality.
