What I Did

After receiving Figma design prototypes from the client, I led a collaborative session to better understand their internal website management workflows. With this insight, I developed a dynamic backend interface that included drag-and-drop functionality and customisable modules, enabling the client to easily build pages after the website handover. On the frontend, I integrated engaging on-scroll animations and parallax effects, carefully chosen to elevate user interaction. This design decision played a key role in driving conversions, aligning perfectly with the website’s primary goal.

Constructing a Robust and Agile Backend Framework

Given Reachdesk’s business focus, it was crucial to ensure that the backend system was user-friendly, enabling the creation of new pages and posts using predefined templates.

To achieve this, I capitalised on HubSpot’s flexible column design to develop drag-and-drop templates, significantly streamlining the process. Each custom module was created with neatly organised fields and tooltips, providing intuitive guidance to website managers.

I developed over 40 custom modules, each serving a unique purpose. Templates for each page in the architecture were meticulously created to expedite the page setup process. These templates allowed for easy editing at the page level, including adding, reordering, or removing modules, thanks to the flexibility of HubSpot’s columns.
