Branding
Developing the brand identity was the first step in our design process. With a standout logo and brand elements that capture the core idea of the platform, we shaped the basis for all the next stages.
Sign up flow
We created a multi-step sign-up form with the ability to choose the preferred technologies and based on that purchase the platform access.
Platform
We have designed a dashboard and dedicated pages for all the podcasts, conferences, community members, and meetups. These allow users to stay updated on events that they are interested in and build connections with community members.
Marketing site
We built a website showcasing its key features, pricing, and benefits of usage, aligning with the previously developed platform’s branding elements.
Design system
In order to provide a unified and consistent look across platforms, we built a design system that includes foundations, different component states, custom illustrations.
Responsiveness & adaptiveness
As a must, we also took care about mobile and other devices' usage to improve user experience and accessibility.
Outcome
We have designed a platform for developers where they can easily build connections, have access to conferences, meetups, and podcasts gathered in one place. Covering the full path from brand development to the platform and its marketing website design we thoroughly provided a proper hand-off and development support.
