At the beginning of our collaboration, the client informed me that the website would be hosted on their existing server with the company where their domain was registered. This meant that during the development process in Webflow, I had to ensure that the contact form on the website could seamlessly transfer collected leads to an external solution.
The client's needs and expectations were analyzed during a mini-workshop, where we developed a Business Model Canvas. As a young entrepreneur launching a new company, this process helped refine the firm's value propositions and provided key insights into the road design and construction industry, which I later incorporated into the website’s content.
A website with an engaging, light, and modern layout
The layout should stand out from competing companies
The design, color scheme, and content should clearly communicate the expertise and experience of the firm's designers
The primary focus of the website is to present the client’s service offering
The site should include functionality for collecting contact information from potential clients
The website will be hosted on the client's own server, not directly within Webflowtail
Most companies in this sector place little emphasis on the quality of their websites
Many of the websites are built using generic templates with minimal or no customization
The information provided is often limited to just three elements: the company name, the industry it operates in, and contact details
Content tends to be minimal and does not clearly communicate the company's service offering
Layouts are often outdated and frequently suffer from poor responsiveness, making them difficult to navigate on mobile and tablet devices.
There is a noticeable lack of branding or unique visual identity, making most websites feel indistinguishable from one another
Orange was chosen as the primary brand color for three main reasons:
1. It conveys a sense of energy and dynamism
2. It is strongly associated with the road construction industry in Poland
3. It stands out—none of the competitors used orange, favoring muted tones like gray, brown, and dark green.
Open Sans is a clean, modern, and highly legible font that works exceptionally well across all screen sizes. Its neutral yet friendly appearance makes it a versatile choice for professional websites, ensuring both clarity and approachability. Thanks to its wide availability and web-optimized performance, Open Sans helps maintain visual consistency and fast loading times.
The development phase in Webflow focused on translating the mockups into a fully responsive website, optimized for all screen sizes down to a minimum width of 350px.
The biggest challenge was related to a key requirement mentioned at the beginning of this case study—hosting the website on the client's server rather than directly in Webflow. This created complications with capturing and storing leads from the contact form.
I tested several automation tools such as Make and Zapier, using webhooks to send form data to a Google Sheet. However, this caused users to be redirected off-site after submitting the form, breaking the intended experience.
After further research, I implemented a custom redirect script and integrated the form with Formspark, which solved the issue and kept users on the client’s site after submission.
The final version included light motion design, such as a hiding navigation bar on scroll, animated section reveals, and element fade-ins on load and scroll. The last step was adding Google Analytics code directly into the published site files hosted on the client’s server.
