Neer Automation
A nine-page marketing site built to someone else's brief.
Marketing site for an automation company: nine pages covering solar, pumps and motors, power protection, home automation, lab kits and solar pumping — plus a home construction service page for a friend's startup, with engineers and workers, materials, execution, and 2D/3D design previews.
This one wasn't hard in the way the other two were. It was useful in a different way: the brief arrived in plain language from someone who doesn't write software, the design language already existed and wasn't mine, and 'done' meant a person who'd never seen the code could describe what they wanted and get it.
Turning a vague description into a page someone will pay for is a separate skill from making the page work, and it's the one that decides whether client work is worth doing twice.
What I’d do differently
- 01Match the codebase you're in before improving it. My instinct was to restructure the styles first; nobody was asking for that, and it would have made the diff impossible to review.
- 02Ask what the page is supposed to make someone do. 'A page about our construction service' and 'a page that makes people call us' produce different layouts.
