Project Goal

Our objective in this project was to provide valuable assistance to the marketing team and lay the foundation for future SEO efforts to attract a more extensive customer base. Simultaneously, we aimed to craft our landing page in a manner that would strongly appeal to users.

Sitemap

Based on our comprehensive research and the well-defined persona we had established, we strategically chose to create the sitemap for our website. This sitemap encompassed several pages in the initial version, aligning with our carefully considered approach to website development.

Indeed, it's not uncommon for a sitemap to undergo revisions throughout a project. However, I can confidently share the final version of the sitemap with you.

Wireframe

With the well-defined persona we had crafted and our finalized sitemap as our guide, we embarked on the critical phase of creating wireframes. This meticulous wireframing allowed us to gain an initial perspective of the website's layout and promptly address any issues, thereby minimizing potential time wastage in the future.

Our concentrated efforts were dedicated to wireframe design, followed by the meticulous composition of text content. This methodical approach ensured that our website would be well-structured and effectively convey our message to users.

Note: You are seeing the final version of the wireframe, and the iterations are not included in the master case

Typography & Grid system

In line with our design vision, we dedicated substantial effort to identifying a font that excelled in presentation and readability. Consequently, in this phase, we confidently selected the Manrop font, which proved optimal due to its excellent readability and strong display capabilities.

Our chosen system grid closely aligns with the Bootstrap system grid, incorporating 12 columns for web layouts, 8 for tablet layouts, and 4 for phone layouts. This grid structure was selected confidently to ensure consistency and adaptability across various devices.

Figma component to Webflow

In Figma, we meticulously structured all our elements by frame guidelines, and we transformed repetitive elements found across multiple pages into components. This strategic decision aimed to optimize our workflow and save valuable time. Following the same efficient approach, we replicated these practices in Webflow for even faster development.

Illustration

Based on the extensive research conducted in the initial phase, we identified a user preference for visual content over textual information. In response to this insight, we confidently opted to prioritize the creation of high-quality posters and illustrations to effectively engage our audience.

Our illustration design process unfolded in several stages. Initially, we created a paper wireframe to outline the concept and convey the model's explanation. Following this, we developed a simplified version to gather project stakeholders' feedback. Subsequently, we meticulously crafted the final design with intricate details, producing a polished and high-quality illustration.

Why we used Webflow for development Landing page?

As the technical team at the company embarked on updating the dashboard, and with my design work completed, I recognized the urgency of implementing the website landing page.

SEO plan

Our initial step involved examining the SEO strategies employed by competitors in our industry. Following a comprehensive assessment of competitors outside our immediate sphere, it became evident that we could optimize our approach. By designing a template and replicating it within our features section, we aimed to significantly enhance our Google ranking, attracting a larger customer base as a result. This strategic move was executed with confidence in its potential for success.

How we find this idealan

This idea was conceived by the product manager of our team, drawing inspiration from the successful implementation on the OpenPhone website, demonstrating our confidence in its potential for growth.

Structure & responsive Design with breakpoint

Initially, we developed the structural elements of our website without incorporating any intricate animations or interactions. At this juncture, ensuring seamless functionality across various platforms, including tablets and phones, was crucial, accommodating users accessing our site through these devices. To streamline the testing phase and provide a user-friendly experience, we confidently introduced breakpoints tailored for smaller screens, facilitating a practical design and testing process.

This collaborative effort ensured a successful outcome.

We confidently approached this task, knowing it would enhance our efficiency and communication with potential leads.
