Problem

The first impression did not match the platform behind it.

The existing WordPress landing page had inconsistent layouts, weak hierarchy, and a yellow visual direction that felt disconnected from EquityMatch and the venture-capital industry.

Visitors had to work too hard to understand the platform, who it served, and why they should continue. Calls to action competed instead of creating one clear journey.

The issue was larger than color. Content order, visual rhythm, trust signals, and interaction all needed to work together as one conversion system.

Challenge

Trust before persuasion

How can a landing page feel credible before a visitor knows the product?

The page needed to communicate a professional funding network, explain the value for investors and founders, and make the next action obvious. It also had to feel like the public entrance to the same product, not a disconnected marketing layer.

Before and after

A fair comparison, using the same frame.

Both pages use the same frame and top-aligned crop, making the change in hierarchy, density, color, and calls to action easy to evaluate.

Solution

Rebuild the story before polishing the screen.

01 · Audit

Find where the page lost clarity

I reviewed the content hierarchy, section order, visual inconsistencies, and competing calls to action. This separated surface problems from the structural decisions affecting comprehension.

02 · Reference

Study how trusted platforms communicate

LinkedIn and AngelList helped frame the expectations of a professional network. Stripe showed how a rigorous design system can make complex technology feel established, clear, and trustworthy.

03 · Reframe

Create one path through the page

I rewrote the visual hierarchy around a clear promise, supporting proof, product explanation, and deliberate calls to action. A blue direction strengthened trust while connecting the page to the platform and its industry.

04 · Design

Resolve the complete experience in Figma

Wireframes established the narrative and conversion flow. High-fidelity UI, responsive states, reusable patterns, and a working prototype then made the intended experience testable before development.

Delivery

Figma to frontend

The design stayed connected all the way into production.

I built the responsive landing page with React and Tailwind CSS. Owning both the design and frontend meant the hierarchy, spacing, responsive behavior, and interaction details did not disappear during handoff.

Outcome

A landing page the platform could stand behind.

The chairman and stakeholders approved a direction that felt more credible, more engaging, and more aligned with EquityMatch and its industry.

Stronger alignment

The marketing page and product now shared a clearer visual character.

Clearer journey

Content and calls to action worked together instead of competing.

Stakeholder confidence

The final direction earned approval from the chairman and wider stakeholders.

Live final experience

Explore the landing page in context.

The shipped website is embedded below at a smaller scale. Scroll and interact with it without leaving the case study.

A landing-page redesign is not a color exercise. Trust, information order, calls to action, and implementation quality have to work as one system.

This project reinforced why I keep design and engineering connected. The strongest concept only matters when the shipped experience preserves the decisions behind it.
