I'm Eklavya. Pronounced "Ek" as in ache & "lavya" as in love ya.
I'm the main point of communication and work with a wide network of illustrators, developers & animators to bring ideas to fruition. I've found the most success by taking a stake in the outcome of projects I work on and this philosophy is at the core of ENSO. We are lean and mission driven, focusing less on scope and more on tangible outcomes.

It was great talking to you last week, Raul. Thank you for sharing your brand assets so we could put together a visual direction that best matches your aesthetic.

We've taken a few days to review your site and summarize some key findings and ideas. Here, we cover goals for this project, pricing, timeline and some of our successes with previous projects.

Notes

We like to take notes :)
For us, every successful collaboration starts with a list of ideas that guide our decisions on core focuses, challenges and opportunities. This list of ideas helps us set clean KPIs and benchmarks to achieve.

Building a Visual Identity

Consistency is key when it comes to building a memorable brand.
From delving into the brand assets, we marked this as a key area of improvement & put together an example of how the brand elements can be translated to a digital experience for the web.

Here are some ways we would build a brand-focused website design:

- Focus on Dark aesthetic for the introduction. The primary color, yellow, has a higher contrast ratio against a darker background. Using this combination would bring highest engagement to CTA elements.
- Hexagonal shapes to cover negative space.
- Sharp corners on elements wrappers

Typography

Heading fonts are very important because headings give the briefest and fastest description of your business and offerings. The fonts selected in the brand guideline didn't meet requirements for an engaging heading font that complimented the DA logo.
For this reason, we chose "Darker Grotesque" as a heading font. It's unique weightage to lettering matched that of your logo.
For the body font we used "Roboto" as it was already utilized in the brand guidelines and is legible in paragraphs.

Contact Layout & Copy

Our approach to design focuses heavily on responsive building. To maximize out put on all screen breakpoints, we would arrange content to scale and shirk as needed.
Keeping this in mind we provided design direction that takes this factor into account.

What you say is as, if not more, important as what you show. We meticulously build a sitemap & wireframe before any project for that very reason. Giving the time to website copy that it deserves.

Design Tease

We discussed possible directions to take, based on our notes, here are a possibility.

Pricing & Deliverables

We work on a flat fee basis for projects, so we quote you a single project price instead of an hourly rate. The scope of work, complexity of the problem, and a host of other influences are factored into our pricing; meaning every project is different.

Why a fixed bid?

We've experimented with everything, and the most effective exchange of value for us and our clients has always been a flat-fee. Results that meet your performance needs are our only objectives. Depending on complexity and timeline, the time it takes to achieve these results varies between projects and an hourly bid loses our clients value.

Timeline

We work with speed, clarity and are decisive in our approach to all projects. We don't waste time in unnecessary meetings and bureaucratic phases. This timeline is a rough outline of the amount of time we usually take on projects with the same scope as yours.

1 weeks

We begin by doing competitor research and outlining objectives and deliverables. This phase maybe shorter, but on average, we collect necessary copy write info, assets like images/videos and technical details within the first week of starting.

1 weeks

This is the most important and longest phase of our process as web builders. We work closely with you to build low fidelity renditions of the website layout, design illustrations and choose imagery and blend these into a high fidelity design. This is the longest phase in our process because we pay special attention to feedback and iterate our design to work for you.
