While primarily focusing on product design, I enjoy switching to web design to broaden my skill set. To gain more experience, I volunteered to collaborate with the newly hired Art Director and Head of Marketing on the company's new website.

0.1 Design interations.

While the Art Director and Marketing Team worked on the company's new brand book, I collaborated with the Head of Marketing through live design sessions and brainstorming to shape the website’s content.


Goals

  • Find a way to engage users in key flows, such as property searches, price evaluations, and lead generation for the sales team.


  • Establishing trust and professionalism to reinforce the company’s credibility.


Audience
(Buyers) First-Time Homebuyers

  • Young professionals & families (25-45 years old)

  • Middle-class individuals seeking long-term investments


(Sellers) Individual Homeowners

  • Many older homeowners selling large houses to move to smaller flats

  • Private owners selling due to relocation, financial changes, or downsizing


Constraints

  • Simple & Adaptive Design

    A CMS should make the website easy to manage and allow marketing teams to update content without breaking design consistency.


  • Minimalist & Readable

    The design should prioritize clarity and ease of use, especially for senior sellers.

0.2 UI Kit&Results

Design Decisions

  • Focused Call-to-Actions (CTAs)
    Centered the design around property evaluation CTAs, supported by an image representing the primary target group—older homeowners, who are key users for this flow.


  • Highlighting Company Expertise
    Emphasized the company’s experience by showcasing impressive statistics and achievements.


  • Guiding Through the Process
    Clearly outlined the steps of the property selling journey to set expectations and build confidence.


  • Building Trust

    Featured positive customer reviews to reinforce credibility and trust.


After refining design iterations, I presented three key concepts to stakeholders, . We moved forward with the updated branding, and I designed a modular set of CMS-compatible blocks to support SEO and scalable content management.


Handoff

To ensure consistency, I created a UI kit as a foundation for future designs.

Since the website’s launch in 2020, its design has evolved, with maintenance transitioning to the marketing and development teams.


This project reinforced my expertise in scalable design systems, branding integration, and cross-functional collaboration.


Note: The current version of the website has been updated since my contribution.
