Blog
Our team reinvented the blog section for Metricly. With its new design approach, the blog does a great job of keeping its users updated about all the AWS cost management practices and Metricly product features. It has a brilliant design that portrays the technical details with engaging UI graphics. Increased conversion rates and higher turnovers are the results of this simple yet catchy blog redesign.
Landing page
The landing page of the platform now has relevant graphic materials, consistent UX, helpful information to surf through, and also a calming design. The touch of green brings a sense of trust.
Monitoring Tool
The new tech documentation pages for the client's product were prepared thoroughly. As it was intended for DevOps specialists, we made sure that special attention was paid there in order to sound accurate and trustful for the target audience. We also developed a front-end side for one of the client's tools. An excellent UI/UX design increased viewability and improved click-through rates.
How We Helped
We research the technology and got a deep understanding of all technical components we had to work with.
With the full involvement in the process, we created a great UX/UI for our client’s target audience — DevOps specialists.
Our team updated templates for email newsletters which also added to the increase of turnovers and gross revenue.
This platform required a strong UX design that could support the load of the data and sort it at the same time.
After our deep research, we created efficient marketing materials for SaaS platforms. The blog and new email templates started to catch more attention as well.
Landing page
Key ideas
The most complex solution we worked on was the data sorting system. It gives users all the information based on accurate data, saving a lot of time.
AWS cost optimization is an important part of the sales and we wanted to keep up by providing great design solutions to help users get the best experience possible.
You need a proper marketing strategy to reach the necessary amount of people. We created strong marketing materials for SaaS platforms, email newsletters, and blog section to make this project a success.
Results
When the client reached out to our team, the initial task was to recreate the UX/UI design for one page and add some cool graphics to make the product more attractive. As we moved forward, more issues were discovered and the client decided to do a makeover of the whole UI of the website. We designed a landing page and a blog, and made new documentation pages that didn't exist before. We also developed a high-class data sorting system and marketing strategy as well. All results were delivered on time following a T&M pricing system that is based around time and cost estimates.
