Project Info

Client: KBA+D
Year: 2016

This project was part of my BSc degree.

KBA+D is an architecture and interior design practice based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

They wanted to replace their website with a new design and wanted to be responsive on mobiles or tablets and attractive. I designed the new website from scratch using a colour scheme that matched their logo. I started with the interface design and back-end development. Their original website wasn’t responsive to screen sizes and:

  The navigation menu was badly implemented on the right and didn't comply with the design standard.
  The design elements didn't get in the way of the contents.
  Too many texts on the people page without READ MORE or LESS buttons.
  The images weren't optimised and take longer to load.
  The contact page didn't have an interactive maps or a contact form.
  The email address was visible publicly, this could lead to end up with an inbox full of spams.
  The website didn't have a content management system (CMS) where they could add, edit or delete projects, locations or categories.
