Pixelgum Studio is a creative agency that needed a bold, modern, and interactive website to showcase its work and attract new clients. The goal was to create a visually engaging online presence that reflects the studio’s creative identity while maintaining a smooth user experience. The project involved designing and developing the website in Framer, ensuring a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality.

Smooth Interactions & Animations: The client wanted engaging micro-interactions and transitions without sacrificing performance.

Performance Optimization: Ensuring fast load times despite the use of high-quality visuals and animations.

Mobile Responsiveness: The design had to adapt seamlessly across different devices for a consistent experience.

To tackle these challenges, I followed a structured design and development process:

Analyzed competitor websites to identify trends and opportunities.

Defined a design direction that balanced creativity with usability.

Planned a content structure that would enhance storytelling and user engagement.

Created a modern, visually rich layout with a strong focus on typography and imagery.

Designed an intuitive navigation system to make exploration effortless.

Built the website in Framer, leveraging its powerful design-to-code capabilities.

Implemented custom animations and micro-interactions to enhance the user experience.

Optimized the site for performance, ensuring smooth loading and responsiveness.

Conducted performance tests to minimize load times and optimize animations.

Ensured the design remained pixel perfect across different screen sizes

Refined interactions based on usability feedback.

The final deliverables included a fully responsive, high-performance website that met all the project’s goals. The key elements of the website were:
