Overview

This conceptual redesign of the Proton landing page explored design systems, UX, and UI, with a focus on modularity, scalability, and efficiency. Using a modular design approach, I created components for reusability and maintainability, ensuring interface consistency. I also implemented design tokens and variables to enhance flexibility and design-development collaboration.

The Challenge

The original landing page suffered from design consistency and scalability issues, hindering efficient updates. I aimed to build a structured, component-driven system that would improve usability and deliver a seamless cross-device experience.

Process & Approach

I implemented a structured design process to enhance the landing page.

1.Research & Analysis

Conducted a thorough competitive analysis of similar landing pages to identify industry trends, best practices, and opportunities for differentiation. Assessed elements such as layout, visual hierarchy, messaging, call-to-actions, and overall user experience to inform design decisions and ensure the landing page met both user expectations and business objectives.

2.Foundations: Establishing a Modular System

To ensure consistency and flexibility, I structured the system with:

  • Color Variables: A structured palette with primitives and semantic tokens for text, backgrounds, and icons.

  • Typography & Spacing: A hierarchical scale for readability and modular spacing for layout flexibility.

  • Component Library: Standardized UI components for efficient design and development.

3.Componentization & UI Design
  • Designed reusable components (buttons, cards, hero sections, etc.) with scalability in mind.

  • Ensured accessibility through proper contrast, spacing, and touch targets.

  • Created responsive layouts for various breakpoints.

4.Design & Prototyping
  • Implemented a modern, structured UI aligned with Proton's branding.

  • Optimized call-to-action placement for engagement and conversions.

  • Refined micro-interactions and hover states to enhance usability.

FInal outcome

Scalable and reusable UI framework.

Improved readability and accessibility.

Optimized for design-to-development efficiency.

A modern, conversion-focused layout.

Conclusion

This project showcased the value of a modular design approach in creating a structured and scalable UI. Using design tokens and variables maintained consistency while enabling future adaptations. Through efficient componentization and design system principles, the landing page achieved a cohesive and maintainable structure that elevates both usability and development workflows.
