Large navigation block on the first screen helps a visitor to quickly find a link to go to the desired section. Animated block transformation hints you where to find it from the inner pages. The running panel of selected projects softly draws your attention to the main section of the website and complements the UI of the “Studio” page, which is made up of text mainly.

Page scroll’s progress bar with anchor links to subsections, text volume switcher in “About Us” and “Reviews” blocks, the services’ navigation links to the sorted sections of the portfolio—all this ensures clear and easy navigation through the website and taking of targeted actions.

The “Projects” section contains navigation within parent categories, as well as major project cards. Each contains a title, product launch year, sorting hashtags, website link, and project description, hidden by default. In the future, we are planning to publish links to detailed case studies on external platforms.

To support the studio’s new brand concept—“Design and Technology. People”, the “Contacts” section contains an interactive brief for clients which simulates live communication and a gallery of atmospheric photos of the studio workflow.
