Overview
Northline Labs was preparing for a seed round and needed a marketing site that communicated technical credibility without feeling cold. The site had to load fast, support frequent content updates, and scale as new product lines launched.
Problem
- Previous WordPress site scored poorly on mobile performance
- Marketing team lacked a structured way to publish case studies
- Visual identity was inconsistent across landing pages
Solution
I designed a modular page system with reusable sections and built the site in Astro using content collections. Subtle Motion.dev animations added polish without hurting Lighthouse scores. A lightweight style guide helped the team maintain consistency post-launch.
Result
- Lighthouse performance score improved from 68 to 98 on mobile
- Case study publishing time reduced from days to under an hour
- Site supported two product launches in the first quarter without redesign
Key deliverables
- Brand-aligned UI design and responsive layouts
- Astro codebase with content collections
- Deployment pipeline documentation for Vercel
- Style guide page for internal reference
