Set to launch soon

At Melita, the main challenge was to modernize the website design to showcase their friendly and approachable personality, while emphasizing their focus on customer success through a curated set of services. As an in-house designer/developer, I met this challenge by creating a new look for all of their digital assets, including the website, social ads, and a new 30th anniversary logo.

UX Design

To ensure a user-centric design, I began with competitive research and conducted interviews with both internal and external stakeholders to understand pain points with the existing website. From there, I developed a sitemap (1) to guide the site's information architecture and user flow.

The next steps involved wireframing and prototyping various design concepts (2 & 3) to test and iterate upon the user experience, while incorporating feedback from stakeholders along the way.

UI Design/Webflow Development

I started by exploring different design options for the homepage (4) and collaborated with the team to refine the selected direction. Once we had a solid foundation, I created new brand guidelines (5) to document the visual identity of the website.

With the design system in place, I applied the new design to all of the pages, creating a modern and intuitive user experience. To further elevate the design, I incorporated motion design using After Effects and Lottie (6). Finally, I built the site in Webflow, a departure from their existing site built on WordPress.

30th Anniversary Logo

For Melita's 30th anniversary, I researched how other companies commemorated milestone years and presented several logo options (8) to the Melita team. We settled on a clean and simple design (7) featuring the number 30 rotated on its side and added to the end of the original logo.

The logo had two variations, a full version with the company name and a shortened version with just the mark and the "30" badge, both of which were versatile and worked well across various applications (9).
