    paper Automatiq - Website UI/UX design, Landing page, ui ux

    Project Overview:
    Automatiq is a technology-driven platform focused on automating business operations through intelligent software solutions. The objective of this project was to design a clean, conversion-focused website and landing page that clearly communicates Automatiq’s value proposition while offering an engaging and seamless user experience.

    My Role:
    As the UI/UX Designer, I was responsible for the full design process—from initial research to final handoff. I collaborated closely with the client to understand their goals, crafted user flows, created low- and high-fidelity wireframes, and delivered a visually compelling, user-friendly interface.

    Key Contributions:

    Designed the homepage and landing page with a focus on clarity, engagement, and lead conversion.
    Developed a consistent design system including typography, color palette, iconography, and components.
    Used Figma to build interactive prototypes for stakeholder review and developer handoff.
    Ensured responsive design for seamless experiences across devices.
    Optimized layout and messaging for better UX and higher engagement rates.

    The final outcome was a sleek, modern website that positions Automatiq as a trustworthy and forward-thinking automation partner.
