Design Principles and Branding:
Opting for a simple yet effective design, I chose green as the primary color, symbolizing plant sciences. The flip cards employed a vibrant spectrum to simulate the light spectrum used in the client's research. Vertical symmetry and balance, along with unity from top to bottom, ensured a cohesive and visually appealing layout.
Challenges and Solutions:
Navigating the complexities of Webflow, I faced challenges in creating custom animations for the flip cards. This involved structuring two distinct divs for each side and synchronizing their movements for a seamless transition. Overcoming this challenge enhanced my efficiency in future projects. The lack of branding prompted the creation of a logo using Adobe Illustrator, featuring a simple vector icon of a snake plant combined with the client's initials.
Client Testimonial:
“Haley creatively blended my professional background and my ideas about what I wanted in a website to develop something that is functional, aesthetic, and reflective of my business goals. She brought creative direction that elevated my original website plans and brought to life aspects I really wanted in a site. She curated design options for me which was helpful in navigating decisions along the way. Thanks Haley!”
This project was undertaken for a friend transitioning into consulting within her expertise while pursuing her dream job utilizing a Ph.D. in plant sciences. The Renner Consulting website aimed to serve as a portfolio and contact platform, showcasing her work and sample services in the absence of an established brand.
Project Overview:
Renner Consulting required a comprehensive portfolio page featuring client work, contact information, and sample services. With no existing branding, the site was built from scratch, emphasizing a clean, professional design.
Role and Responsibilities:
In the capacity of both designer and developer, I managed the project from ideation to execution. Utilizing Figma, I crafted wireframes and designs, with the development phase executed seamlessly in Webflow.
Lessons Learned:
This project served as a pivotal learning experience, refining my design aesthetics and proficiency in Webflow. Reflecting on the project, I would enhance accessibility by increasing contrast on flip card icons and diversify the color palette for a more versatile and visually appealing design.
