Success definition

My approach:
Market research
Competitor analysis
- Who are the main competitors ? - How they speak ? - What visuals are they using ? - What features they have ? - Do they have a niche ? - What's their value proposition ? - How we can differentiate ?
Analysis discovery
Different agencies use different strategies and language but they all have one thing in common: they start with a strong value proposition that communicate their main focus or niche : for example, some aim for design sprints while others on long and hand-by-hand strategy and implementation process.
Value proposition
How do our competitors speak? Here is a mood board with snippets from popular companies' main value propositions.
Strategy summery
Alignment on the goal
Our goal in this stage is clearly to communicate a clear value of our services by focusing strongly on conversion from our user's perspective. Make it clear that we are the right selection for the job while picking a niche of web design & SEO as a strong winning package
What is the actual content that will help us achieve the goal of this project ?
Popular types of content
• Products / Services • About the company ( Story, Team, Vision, Careers ) • What we do / how we do it • Contact ( reach out ways ) • Benefits ( Value Proposition ) • Resources ( Downloadbles ) • Updates ( News, Blog, Pr ) • Our customers / Testimonials • Signup for newsletter • Case studies • Social Media
Content Architecture
One-pager Vs Multiple Pages
Content Hierarchy
At this stage, I worked on the structure of content from top to bottom, what's more important from the user's perspective
Planning a site-map
Sitemaps are organized lists or flow chart diagrams that shows connections between web pages and helps decide what actual pages will be created
Creating Wireframes
Wireframes serve multiple purposes: by connecting the site layout to the information architecture and displaying the paths between the various site pages. Clarifying how to display various types of information in the user interface.
Responsiveness
Responsiveness in mind
The goal of responsive design is to create content that adjusts smoothly to various screen resolutions. Size elements in relative units and apply media queries so their designs can automatically adjust to the browser space to ensure content consistency across devices.
Visual design
Visual language
Creating a consistent visual language is a strong differentiating factor, consistency creates trust and trust create bonding
How visual language was created
• Build a Color Palette. • Create a Typographic Hierarchy. • Establish a Grid. • Create a Library of Components. • Emphasize an Image Style. • Build Rules for Animation. • Match Words and Visuals. • Create iconography.
Color psychology
Selecting a color is crucial but fun stage, different colors evoke different fillings
Choosing color and creating a style guide
I went with purple as a primary color for its calming, creative and trustful features and created a color palette around it
Main components :
Created smart components in "Figma" to achieve better workflow and consistency across the whole project, here are some of the main ones I've used
Working on “Fillo” was a challenging yet exciting experience, I got to create the full product from strategy to design to an actual working responsive website. I got a ton of feedback that helped sculpting and polishing the solution
I learned a lot from this project but mostly: • How important is to define a clear structure, sticking to it while sharing the process, that actually was a breakthrough for me • Linking business goals with users needs • How to iterate with modification • The importance of workflow and structure
