In this project, I was tasked with redesigning the website for a small construction company. The client’s existing website was functional but lacked visual appeal and professionalism. My role as a UI designer was to transform the website into a more modern, user-friendly, and visually compelling platform that effectively communicated the company's values and services. I started the design process in Figma, where I developed wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes. These designs were then implemented on the Webflow platform, where I ensured that every page was fully responsive across all devices.
To ensure the redesign of the construction company’s website was competitive and aligned with industry standards, I conducted a comprehensive competitor analysis. I have selected three firms, all of which are based in nearby cities.
I wanted to make sure that the new website would be just right for the people who are going to use it, so I created a user persona representing someone who would be a typical client. By understanding Karol's goals, frustrations, and motivations, I was able to design a user-friendly and professional website that addresses his specific needs as a potential client.
I wanted to get a better understanding of how someone like Karol Brodzki, who's looking for a construction company, interacts with their website. So I created a user journey map. This map shows each stage of his experience, from looking at different companies to requesting a quote for his home renovation project. By tracking what he's doing, how he's feeling, and what he's struggling with, the map shows where the website could be improved, making it easier and more satisfying for users.
I gave the old, cluttered layout a makeover with a modern, clean design that looks more professional and is easier on the eye. I've improved the typography, used more white space and added some high-quality images to create a more cohesive and professional look.
A clear, prominent call to action (CTA) has been added to encourage users to take the next step. This makes it easier for users to request quotes or contact the company.
Ensured the website is fully responsive, providing an optimized user experience across all devices. The new design adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes, improving accessibility for users on mobile and tablets.
Through user research and the creation of personas and journey maps, I realized how vital it is to fully understand the client’s potential users. This approach helped me identify pain points that weren’t immediately obvious, allowing me to create a design that directly addressed user frustrations and improved their experience.
With more users relying on mobile devices, I saw firsthand how critical it is to prioritize responsiveness. Ensuring the site works seamlessly across all devices not only improves the user experience but also reflects positively on the company’s professionalism.
