    uniE613 Project Mosaic - Aqua Platinum Projects
    In a pioneering venture, I spearheaded the complete redesign and integration of the online presence for Aqua Platinum Projects, a multi-award-winning swimming pool design and build company renowned for its luxury installations across London and the South of England. As the sole web designer and project manager, I was tasked with merging three distinct business units under the overarching brand, ensuring a seamless, unified digital experience that not only enhances user engagement but also consolidates the brand’s stature in the luxury wellness market. Throughout the project, I orchestrated all phases of the website's development, from initial stakeholder meetings, through to wireframes and user experience design, and the final deployment and post-launch adjustments. My approach combined sophisticated aesthetic design with advanced technical functionalities to create a state-of-the-art web presence. The new website reflects Aqua Platinum’s commitment to luxury and excellence, showcasing their bespoke services in a visually compelling and easily navigable format. Special features like interactive galleries, a detailed project portfolio, and an integrated content management system were implemented to address the specific needs of varied user groups, including potential clients, existing customers, and project stakeholders. The result was a dramatically improved online user experience, and a platform that effectively highlights Aqua Platinum's unique design capabilities and their market-leading innovations in swimming pool and spa projects. My role in transforming Aqua Platinum’s digital strategy has not only elevated their brand presence but also significantly boosted their operational efficiencies and market reach.
