Design Fraude Design
A satirical website builder, "Fraude Design," explicitly avoids AI to mock founders who prioritize bad design and technical debt while convincing themselves it's good.
What: Scott Riley created "Fraude Design," a parody website builder that positions itself as an "AI-free slop generator" for "genius founders" to make "insidious bad design" and "irreedeemable amounts of technical debt," specifically targeting CEOs.
Why it matters: This reflects a growing sentiment among designers and developers against the uncritical use of AI for design, particularly when it leads to generic or poorly considered outputs, highlighting a desire for craft over speed.

The AI-free site builder for genius founders

Make bad design decisions and generate irredeemable amounts of technical debt. Then go out there and make this about you!

Bad design but make it insidious

Finally, bringing terrible design decisions to production can be done under the guise of gaslighting yourself into believing the thing you’ve made is actually good. When your very tired employees point out that maybe the robot did a bad job, you can point to the same gradient that everyone else uses and say ‘hmmmm, but I like it’. Truly an uncursed timeline.

Derivative useless slop without the overheads

All your friends are generating sub-par landing pages using AI tools. It’s natural to feel left out. Fight the FOMO without the token usage with Fraude Design. A revolutionary AI-free slop generator.

Founders Only

You’re a CEO who has finally realised that instead of eating the crayons, you can use them. Fraude it up babeyyy.

Make it Worse

Simulate asking the robots to make increasingly worse design decisions by changing your own colors to whatever you want.

Fuck the Blind

The only accessibility you care about is how accessible your board room is to big fuckin’ stacks of money! Ship bad code!!

Mediocrity has never looked so good

If you live at the intersection of being shit at something and holding an active disdain for craftsmanship, Fraude Design can keep you oblivious to your own shortcomings!

Fraude Design is an over-engineered parody built by Scott Riley.
