Creating a website for my agency, Minglaba, was a journey I embarked on with a clear mission: to make people understand what we do and to build trust with our clients. Enter Framer, the platform that promised simplicity and elegance—perfect for conveying my vision without the usual web design headaches. As the great Steve Jobs said, "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." And boy, did I want it to work!

The core goal was straightforward: trust. In a world where clients can feel lost in the digital jungle, I aimed to be their guiding light. So, I added a calendar feature, because who doesn’t love scheduling their lives? And a CMS for managing projects—because organization is key, right? I mean, without it, I’d be like a chef trying to cook without a recipe. Spoiler: it wouldn’t end well.

Custom CMS pages were my little secret weapon. It’s like having a tailor-made suit—fits just right, feels good, and gets you noticed. The content? Let’s just say I tried my best to ensure it was engaging and informative. I mean, how else would I convince people that Minglaba isn’t just another agency in the sea of sameness?

Now, let’s talk mobile-friendliness. With everyone glued to their phones, I knew this had to be a priority. I implemented breakpoints like a pro and tested it thoroughly. Think of it as the Goldilocks principle—everything had to be just right, not too big, not too small. And the result? A website that looks as good on a phone as it does on a computer. As Einstein once said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

Of course, no modern website is complete without a sprinkle of flair. I incorporated animations and forms because—let’s face it—who doesn’t love a little pizzazz? A smooth transition here, a subtle effect there; it’s like adding the cherry on top of a delicious sundae. And I even included Calendly integration, because I’m not just building a website—I’m building a business.

The final product? A website that embodies the greatness and simplicity I envisioned. It’s not just a platform; it’s a space where potential clients can feel welcomed, informed, and confident about choosing Minglaba. As Maya Angelou wisely put it, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

In the end, creating my website was a fun, enlightening, and slightly sarcastic adventure. With Framer, I didn’t just build a website; I crafted an experience. And if you’re out there thinking about launching your own site, remember: it’s about making your mark in this vast digital universe. Let’s get building!
