Activix maintained a good looking website for while. But we needed to upgrade not only the website, but the branding as a whole.
The older design embraced a very flat design, and the accents consisted mainly of stock images displaying funny looking people. The goal was originally to mock the old practices of the industry and how Activix was there to fix those issues. It worked at first, but we needed a more professional branding as the company kept on growing.
I started by incorporating darker elements for more contrast between sections. A new gradient emerged, which married Activix's primary green colour and its CRM's blue colour. Elements inherited slightly rounded corners, minimal and soft box shadows for a much needed depth.
The technological aspect of the website got flipped on its head too. Opting for TailwindCSS, NuxtJS and Netlify instead of the previous Bootstrap, blade-theming in October CMS. We were ready to ditch the database aspect along with the traditional hosting framework.
It was in dire need of a redesign. I opted for a very modern look. The black background gives it character and the picture make it vibrant and enjoyable to look at. The final product is printed on a matte thick paper and the edges are painted metallic black to hide the white colour of the paper.
One of my first assignments: A left behind of Activix CRM for their sales team. The original document was already in good shape, but lacked a bit of polished. I went for a very minimal approach, bullet lists and large on-screen showcases. I absolutely despise InDesign. Believe it or not, this pretty thing was 85% crafted with Pages.
Bold, (very) fast-pace video, radiating youthfulness while transpiring elegance and nobility at the same time.
