The central challenge lay in transforming DreamFolks' online presence according to the evolving vision while retaining the current essence i.e. introducing the B2C features while keeping the light on the older B2B features. Previous experiences with agencies had yielded poor results, leaving the company with minimal reusable assets and an unattainable deadline. The pressing deadline, primarily due to their B2C product launch and an upcoming event, pushed us to improvise. Hence we aspired to chase the ambitious goal of creating a user-friendly, descriptive website with interactions, illustrations, and high-quality content, surpassing global standards and competitors' offerings. And yeah, did I mention that the event was in 2 weeks?
If we followed the usual process of designing, iterating, handing off, and then developing the website, it would have taken over a month. And that's if we managed to address all the hiccups like system errors, bugs, project handover delays, approvals, and other delays in a large organisation. So, we needed to find a faster way. Drawing from my background as a developer and entrepreneur, I led the strategy, design and development to create an efficient process with quicker feedback loops, clearer transparency in deadlines and better project handover.
The project began with a comprehensive audit to identify areas for improvement, an ongoing process that will evolve in future case studies as we refine our methods. The audit revealed several weaknesses in the website.
Here's what needed attention:
Transparency is extremely crucial in any product development with multiple stakeholders. So to create an efficient feedback loop a shared checklist table was created that not only increases transparency on progress but also provided an efficient way to track reviews, suggestions and iterations.
Meeting the deadline without compromising quality required leveraging cutting-edge tools.
To streamline our workflow, we turned to Webflow, an all-in-one no-code tool. Its intuitive visual editors and drag-and-drop interface allowed us to build the website without coding from scratch. While I had prior experience with Webflow, mastering new technical functions like SEO and CMS presented challenges.
Creating a multipage commercial website means managing over 50 images with consistent tone and vibe. Traditionally, this would require an exclusive two-week photoshoot. However, with the advent of AI in design, a new era of image production began. To aid our image collection, we utilized tools like ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, Photoshop AI, and Stable Diffusion to ensure consistency every time.
Our strategy was rooted in three core principles: seamless collaboration, transparent communication, and meticulous project management, all while preserving the integrity of the original design. The transformation was profound and far-reaching. By directing our efforts towards concise content organization and intuitive navigation, we successfully repositioned Dreamfolks’ corporate narrative, introducing a B2C model to a B2B focus, thereby accentuating a new feature designed and enhancing user engagement.
However, while these metrics paint a positive picture, it's imperative to delve deeper and explore the nuances that may challenge the assumptions drawn.
I believe there are other metrics that can provide more value to the research like
By incorporating these detailed metrics into our analysis, we can gain deeper insights into the effectiveness of the website revamp and make data-driven decisions to continuously optimize and improve the user experience.
