ABOUT THE PROJECT

Formory had the tech. What they lacked was presence. The product was solid, the team was sharp, but the branding and site told a different story. They looked like every other SaaS startup in the feed.

We helped Formory reposition their brand with a stronger identity, clearer messaging, and a website that actually worked for their product. The goal wasn’t just to redesign. It was to give Formory a voice, a look, and a user experience that could hold its own in a crowded market.

WHY HIRE ME?

I design at the intersection of product and graphic design, blending strategy with creativity. From UX to branding, marketing, packaging, and animation. I don’t just stick to one label because I approach design from every angle.

CHALLENGES

The problem wasn’t aesthetics, it was understanding. The old site looked clean but lacked structure. Users didn’t know what it offered, why it mattered, or what to do next.

We had to rethink the content hierarchy, find a voice that felt human, and rebuild the UX to guide users toward action. The hardest part was balancing technical depth with simplicity — explaining the product without overloading the page. Every decision came down to: will this help someone understand and trust Formory faster?

FAQ

These are the most common questions. Answered with no spin, no filler. Still have one? Reach out and ask.

How soon can we start?

Usually within 1–2 weeks. It depends on availability and project fit. Once we align, we move fast.

What if I only need design or just dev?

That works. We can jump in where it makes sense — design only, dev only, or both. Totally up to you.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. You’ll get 1 week of post-launch support. If you need longer-term help, we can set up a monthly retainer.

Can I update the site myself later?

Absolutely. You’ll have full access and control — plus training or handoff docs if needed.

What’s your typical process?

Kickoff call, concept phase, daily async updates, shared boards, and 2-day check-ins. You’ll always know where things stand.

How do payments work?

50% upfront, 50% on delivery — unless we agree on something else. We keep it simple and fair.

SUMMARY

The result was more than a new site. It was a shift in perception. Formory went from “just another tool” to a product with a point of view.

We delivered a refreshed identity, UX-focused layouts, and a fast, responsive site that’s easy to manage. More engagement, higher demo requests, better onboarding flow — and finally, a digital presence that reflects the product’s actual value.
