challenge

Insurance company managers and automotive corporations typically face challenges with complex software. That’s why the process of collecting data from vehicles can be a bit of a headache.

Real-time vehicle tracking, predicting potential problems, and accident reconstruction — all of these had to be considered in the product design. A perfect software offers everything in one place, simplifying things for those who aren’t fluent in the language of technology.

Challenge

Imagine a funnel overflowing, not with potential customers, but with unqualified leads. That’s the reality many service-based businesses, credit unions, and banks face. Traditional marketing tactics can attract a crowd, but is it the right crowd?

Considering this, the necessity for a company that truly understands these challenges and ensures no time is wasted on unqualified leads arises.

It was a fully fresh perspective in every sense.

The research showed that competitors’ websites somewhat lagged behind the latest trends, which didn’t align with the technological and innovative nature of this business.

Hence, we aimed to convey the client’s digital orientation through a practical and rigorous branding approach, complemented by bright accents.

For a brand to speak with one voice, it needs a brand book to set the tone.

Keep things simple with a pop of color

Considering the target audience, our focus was to make the company’s brand pop and feel alive. For this, we decided to build an identity based on three main RGB colors — red, green, and blue — that scream modern and digital.

To create a friendly and welcoming touch, our designer added shapes with rounded edges that keep things smooth and easy on the eyes. More so, they reflect the brand’s fresh nature and convey the youthful vibe we were going for.

Making user experience a top priority

During analysis, we took a hard look at what the competition was up to and highlighted the main challenge among them — the lack of easy navigation. Getting to what users needed was tougher than it should be, and it became clear what to focus our attention on.

We decided to give the site a full-on makeover, jazzing up the design, making the layout more intuitive, and fixing up the navigation to turn it into a place where people enjoy hanging out. With all this cool data in hand, we got some design ideas to make users click.

Dynamic design ideas that break new ground in the marketing industry

Concept 1: Connective creativity

In our first concept idea, we went with a vibe of 70% graphics and 30% real photos. The whole site is full of gradients, lines, and shapes, giving sections a pop of something special, keeping users glued to the screen. Plus, we updated the colors to give the site a modern look that can evolve over time.

Concept 2: Dynamic journey

For this concept, we shook things up with creative content design using 3D modeling details. When scrolling, these elements turn into large service cards, catching users’ attention and boosting visits into action. The solutions used for this design idea are all about user-friendliness and sparking joy.

Spicing up web design with some flair

Considering that simplicity doesn’t mean dullness — we ramped up the individuality by adding some awesome flat graphics. To really dial up the uniqueness and punch, our team threw in some fun GIFs and eye-catching photos.

For the backgrounds, the dark ones were a bit too moldy. Instead, brightening things up with lively colors seemed like the way to go. This approach highlighted the cool stuff on the site and made sure it caught users’ eyes.

Animation magic behind the scenes

When it came to the development phase, we started with building the tech part from scratch. The main goal was to code every page, bring the animations from Figma to life, and integrate an easy-to-understand way to manage posts in the admin panel.

Given the project’s scale and the complexity of the animations, we chose Webflow, CSS, and JavaScript as primary tools. To pack the site with functionalities, our developers complemented this list with some ready-to-use JavaScript libraries.

Ensuring a smooth mobile experience

With all the animations on the desktop, we had to leave a few on the mobile to avoid messing up the user experience. Our developers kept the essentials — the page-load animations and the snazzy effect when users open the burger menu.

Plus, we decided to hold the GIFs. Even though they’re a bit heavier than regular images, they’re such a key part of the website’s look that we just couldn’t part with them. This way, we made the site fun and got everything worked like a charm.

Educational guide to managing posts

Our team has put together a comprehensive guide on how to keep Webflow posts in perfect order. We explained ways to add new content and tweak what’s already there.

Plus, our developers included plenty of photos and step-by-step instructions to make everything crystal clear. This made it easier to manage the site’s content like a pro.

Logo creation

Simple visual details that speak volumes

brand identity based on main RGB colors — red, green, and blue
Colors

A blend of colors and contrast

We decided to go with the classic RGB colors — red, green, and blue — complemented with a bunch of extra shades to mix things up and get that perfect vibe. To balance this popping palette, we threw in black and white for that crisp, clear look, keeping things lively and readable.

Typography

A typeface for every scale

Our team chose Mona Sans, picking it in two weights — Medium and Semibold. It’s flexible and has a cool industrial vibe that takes inspiration from old-school grotesques. This font makes everything clear and easy to read, whether it’s on a product, a website, or printed material.

Logotype

A story of shapes and shades

We gave the existing logo, which consists of three rhombuses, a more rounded, friendly look. This softness our team balanced with RGB colors for a visual contrast. The real magic happens where these hues meet and overlap, creating a depth effect that makes the logo feel alive.

Gifs

GIF magic that brightens experiences

We brought GIFs with famous memes everyone couldn’t help but love. Our designers sprinkled these across the site to capture that unique vibe and make users say, “Wow.” This element highlighted the important bits, breaking up the text and making the whole experience more fun.

Visual elements

Telling the story through visuals

For a lasting impression, our team worked on the logo that takes visitors on a journey. Once the homepage kicks in, that symbol breaks into elements that spread out across the site. With every scroll, a new chapter appears, telling a story without words and captivating to the end.

Animations

Animating the way to a more engaging site

Our designers worked on smooth transitions, linking each piece of content from one scene to the next. When landing on pages, a motion opens with a burst of color, giving way to text. Cursor-hover animations, another touch, made elements users point feel alive and interactive.

highly functional UX design with JavaScript

JavaScript

With JavaScript, we build a highly functional experience for users, responding to what they do right away. Whether it’s handling form submissions, loading new content, or adding interactive elements, it ensured the site is engaging and accessible to everyone.

After Effects

After Effects helped us craft animations and motion graphics that bring web pages to life. With this tool, we made these cool, one-time play animations for our hero sections that create the first “oh neat” impression without any extra clicks or moves needed from visitors.

animation libraries Swiper &  Noto Color Emoji for better UX design

Libraries

We used animation libraries to improve the user experience. Smoothscroll created a smooth scrolling experience, while Swiper brought a magic touch to image galleries and slideshows. To add engagement, we used Noto Color Emoji, which offered a wide range of expressive emojis.

Plugins

Among plugins, we chose Remodal to present info without cluttering the page. For dynamic content updates, CMS Load allowed us to refresh data without full-page reloads. Social Share was used to foster community, while the Table of Contents organized facts into clear sections.
