Mascot & Logo

The main idea was to make a mascot that will react with different emotes on the user's website performance indicators. The mascot became the symbol of the logo that helps to recognize the brand among others.

Initial page

For the first user's steps, we've created the initial page that has the main input to get his site report in one click and explained how it works.

Landing page displaying different web app features

Loading page

While the site is analyzed, we made a loading screen that displays loading animation and performance facts with an option to receive the report to his email after the process is finished.

Performance report

After several MVP iterations, we created a self-branded design that shows a performance report by the main metrics and recommendations for improvement for each one in a clear less-tech-jargon way.

Responsive

We have considered a responsive mobile design to make the performance tool accessible from any device.

Outcome

The result is a useful product design that helps people to get a performance report and less-tech-jargon recommendations of their website. Clear design guidelines for further development.
