Byte Recycling was born from a simple but powerful question: What truly happens to our old electronics once we no longer need them? Their team - being passionate about technology and environmental sustainability led them to discover a crucial but overlooked problem. Devices were gathering dust in drawers, dumped in landfills, or exported as e-waste to countries ill-equipped to handle them safely. They burdened themselves with the question "Is there a better way to do this?".
What started as a small initiative to collect unused laptops from family and friends quickly evolved into a nationwide mission. Now they are Nigeria's #1 E-Waste Recycling Company. As testament to their growth they needed a website that would firmly cement their position as industry leaders and invite clients, partners and sponsors to join their mission. I was brought in to deliver that.
Goals
The owner Uwaifo wanted a website that was simple, beautiful and had interactive elements. The goal was to deliver a website that educates first time visitors, attracts investors, and positions them as an Industry leader.
Challenges
The timeline was tight so I designed and built directly in Framer. Adding a blog to the site was one of the most tedious parts of the project. Creating the CMS was pretty straightforward but uploading was a different matter. Over 30 blog articles had to be added. There was also a matter of Framer pricing changing over the duration of the project.
Solutions
Rapid iteration in Framer and clear communication with the client helped the project to be completed within schedule. Locked in and pushed the cms items in a single work day. Found a small window with advantageous pricing and took advantage of it.
Outcomes
Since the official launch, the website has served as a cornerstone of Byte Recycling’s digital presence. The platform has successfully increased user acquisition and established significant brand authority in the recycling sector. This newfound credibility has been instrumental in facilitating high-level discussions with potential investors and securing key strategic partnerships.
Favorite parts of the website
Here are a few of my favorite sections in the website:
Mission Grid
I used a 3x3 grid to show their mission goals while reinforcing their brand colors and providing imagery that supports these goals making it easy for the site visitors to relate to and join the mission.
