Client & Context

This project represents a comprehensive digital transformation focused on creating a professional platform that effectively communicates expertise while driving meaningful business outcomes. The challenge was balancing professional credibility with approachable design.

The target audience required a sophisticated understanding of the client's unique value proposition, necessitating careful consideration of user experience, content strategy, and conversion optimization.

Through strategic design and development, we created a platform that not only showcases expertise but actively contributes to business growth and professional recognition.

Objectives

  • Launch Novel: Drive awareness, engagement, and sales for the debut novel, The Golden Sister.
  • Build Brand: Establish a professional and authentic online presence reflecting the author's unique style.
  • Connect with Readers: Build a loyal community by sharing updates, events, and personal insights.
  • Centralize Information: Create a single source for biographies, works, and media inquiries.

Strategy & Information Architecture

  • Home: Homepage featuring the author's debut novel.
  • The Book: Dedicated page with the book's synopsis and purchase links.
  • About: Author biography and professional background.
  • Events: Calendar for book signings and speaking tours.
  • Gallery: Photo gallery to foster a personal connection with readers.
  • Contact: Streamlined form for professional inquiries.

Design System

We developed a sophisticated and elegant Design System that feels literary and timeless. The design language prioritizes readability with beautiful typography, a warm color palette, and ample white space. The goal was to create an intuitive user interface (UI) and a user experience (UX) that feels less like a website and more like opening a good book.
