Ecotek
This project involved redesigning key areas of a WordPress website with a strong focus on modern aesthetics, performance optimization, and user experience. The objective was to transform the website into a clean, bold, and visually engaging platform while aligning closely with the client’s brand vision and feedback.
Technology –
- WordPress
CHALLENGE
The project required not only a redesign but also multiple iterations based on detailed client feedback and high design expectations:
- The initial design lacked a full-width, bold visual impact
- Layout felt cluttered (“fussy and bitty”) instead of clean and minimal
- Typography and color usage were inconsistent with brand guidelines
- Overuse of UI elements (search box, split layouts, small blocks) reduced clarity
- Content hierarchy and section order did not align with client expectations
- Visual style did not match modern architectural reference websites
- Portfolio and project pages lacked a strong, immersive presentation
- Site performance and SEO structure needed improvement
- Multilingual consistency (English & Greek) had to be maintained
The challenge was to shift from a generic layout to a premium, architecture-style digital experience.
Solution
A refined, feedback-driven approach was implemented to align design, usability, and performance:
