Santa Claus has brought us a new website

Well, after the 25th, a slightly tipsy Santa brought us a very special gift: a brand new website, just in time to wrap up the year.

Honestly, I was completely fed up with the old site. When you stare at the same design for too long, you start to get a bit sick of it. Not that it was bad—people actually liked it. “Always says hi,” they’d say.

But in my opinion, it was definitely time for a serious makeover. With this redesign, we’ve given ourselves a total facelift—heck, we even threw in a little botox.

A quick look at the new web design

About the homepage

It’s so much cleaner than before. More visual. More of everything.

We’ve put special care into the entrance animations, making each element appear at just the right moment, using CSS transitions and delays to make everything fit together perfectly.

The menu has a really cool effect when you hover over the different items. Don’t take my word for it—try it yourself.

Awesome SVGs

We created SVG icons so we could animate them. You’ll see that both the divider between the headline and the short description, as well as the service icons, are animated. This adds interactivity to the site and makes browsing a lot less boring.

The responsive version is next level

Honestly, this was one of my least favorite things about the old site. In this new design, we’ve built a responsive version that’s top-notch.

We’ve placed the responsive menu at the bottom. Why? Because when you’re browsing on a smartphone, your thumb doesn’t always reach the top of the screen. This way, the experience feels much more like an app.

When you tap the menu, it slides in from the side—again, bringing us closer to an app-like user experience.

Plus, we’ve added a button for WhatsApp chat and quick call.

A footer that’s actually a footer

The footer in this new design is way more powerful. We showcase our latest projects and the most recent blog posts.

And it’s present throughout the entire site.

What’s coming next

To launch the new website, we really put the pedal to the metal, so a few things are still in the pipeline. Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ll be rolling out in the coming days.

Hot content from the blog

We’ll add a view counter for each blog post so we can feature the most popular content.

We think this will be a great addition, since there are already plenty of posts with tons of visits, and we’d like to give them some extra visibility.

So, we’ll create a section called “Hot from the blog.”

Sticky menu

We’ll make the menu follow you from the top as you scroll down.

That way, you won’t have to scroll all the way back up to navigate elsewhere.

This is something we consider absolutely essential, but we haven’t had time to implement it yet. Rest assured, it’ll be the first thing we tackle.

Blog posts: way more social

We want to make the blog much more social, so we’ll be improving blog posts to encourage more comments and sharing on social media.

Minor bug fixes

Yep, there are still a few bugs here and there, but we’ll squash them in the next few days. Don’t worry—now, keep calm and share this.

Happy holidays, everyone!
