Project Description

A complex business site packed with features, yet easily understandable for users

For the QLab Think Tank GmbH, I developed a complex business website with a dozen subpages from scratch with WordPress without any prior UX/UI experience. This project required countless redesigns and restructuring as the young QLab continually iterated its brand identity, services, and marketing philosophy. Over time, I integrated a double opt-in user journey for QLab’s newsletter, built a blog archive, promoted events and services through pop-up systems, and created a user journey aimed at conversion.

Today, being a Webflow and WordPress designer with experience in Figma, HTML and CSS, and deeper UI/UX knowledge, I would approach many of my decisions when designing the QLab website very differently. Still, I am proud of this first project due to the many adversities I faced: I had no prior experience in web design and learned WordPress, Elementor, design principles, performance optimization, and SEO all by myself. 

I built this page when I was still an employee of the QLab. Since, it is being developed further my other web designers.
