The Problem

How might we redesign our landing page to better align with our branding, show the value of our services, and increase engagement for both outbound clients and ethical hackers?

Research

Empathizing with users
To know how our product can stand out, I conducted a competitive audit on local and international cybersecurity platforms like HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and Synack.
By analyzing their website and brand book, I took note of all the recurring sections used and how they presented their services to both clients and ethical hackers. I found that most platforms focused first on clients and then on hackers. Using this insight, I created the content of our landing page, which primarily focused on marketing the product to potential clients. I then designed a separate page dedicated to ethical hackers, who are also part of our target market.

I also identified user pain points while conducting the competitive audit. For example, I noticed that certain platforms make it hard for hackers to join their platform. With this pain point in mind, I made sure to include a call-to-action button in our navigation bar to make it easier for both hackers and potential clients to sign-up.

Ideation

Brainstorming solutions
To help organize the flow and structure of my design, I created a sitemap with the elements and hierarchy in place. This is crucial for organizing the content on the landing page and ensuring clear navigation, so the user intuitively understands where to find the information they want.
Using the insights from my research, I identified and noted the essential pages, sections, and elements that would best attract users in my sitemap. The audit also revealed common practices and gaps in competitor platforms, which helped me refine our sitemap and design a landing page that is intuitive, addresses user pain points, and enhances overall site functionality.

Branding

Typography, Colors, Logo, etc.
I identified the need for a consistent brand identity as soon as I joined Secuna. I immediately noticed varying shades of blue in the old platform, which made the visual identity feel inconsistent. With the invaluable two-month mentorship of my senior, Emman (best mentor ever!), I created a cohesive brand book for our cybersecurity platform.
Since clients rely on us for security, it was essential that both the visual identity and language reflect reliability. To achieve a more distinct, trustworthy, and elegant feel, I chose Proxima Nova as the primary font, moving away from Inter, which is commonly used in SaaS products. For the color, I used the old logo’s colors as the starting point. From there, I created a palette with shades of blue and grey that aligned with the brand's message of trustworthiness and security. We decided to keep the old logo to honor the old design. This decision also ensures that former clients still recognize the Secuna brand and the updated identity feels fresh yet familiar—building on the trust we had already established.

Redesign

Design and Development Process
While our platform redevelopment was still ongoing, the CEO tasked me with revamping our landing website to align with the current brand identity.
With the CEO aiming for a Q1 2023 launch, we had to act quickly. We decided on an MVP approach—using Webflow to build a one-page design in under two weeks. Although my initial suggestion was to use Next.js, the tight deadlines made this impossible. Once we had more time, I revisited the idea and coded the final site using Next.js, TailwindCSS, and Tailgrids. The project scope evolved as the CEO continued to request additional pages. Over the course of three months, I designed and developed all the finished pages, while also training our interns in both design and engineering.

The solution

Landing Page

This page is the first one that users interact with on the website, so a bold hero section that highlights clients and key metrics is a must. It also includes our value proposition, like features, benefits, testimonials, services, and certifications, while always guiding users towards a call-to-action (CTA) to either register or contact Secuna.
