Goal

Present the work of the design bureau on the Internet.

The Fifth Generation experimental design bureau is engaged in space instrumentation, designs and launches ultra-small satellites.

On the new website, it was important for the client to be told in what areas and with what technologies the bureau works, and what they create in it.

The development was built according to traditional stages and began with design and design concept.

With the help of design, I wanted to immerse the user in the space industry, the history and atmosphere of the development bureau.

We set ourselves the goal of presenting a complex area in a technological, interesting and visual way.

The design is inspired, of course, by space itself.

It is associated with deep darkness and bright stars, so for the site we chose rich dark shades and placed accents with bright corporate colors of the company.

The focus is on the satellites that are created in the bureau: they placed 3D models of real devices on the pages and added a little dynamics to them. This allows you to see them in motion.

The company held a photo shoot for its employees especially for the new website. We used lively, interesting photographs of specialists that convey the working atmosphere of the office.

Such sincere content helps to reduce the distance between the company and users: on the site we get to know the people who are behind the development of spacecraft. And workflow shots allow you to see how this happens.

To emphasize the company’s technological advancement and better engage the user, we added animation and micro-animations of individual elements.

For example, in the «About the Company» section, horizontal and vertical scrolling alternates. And on the main page, when scrolling, the blocks are smoothly loaded one after another, as if floating in weightlessness.

We described the company’s complex products in a lively and accessible language.

The site is clearly structured, we have provided everything you need: several key sections, feedback forms, an English version.

The result is a minimalistic site where the company’s products and approach are the focus.

Large, non-standard layout and typography help to place accents and highlight the main thing. Dark colors and smooth scrolling animations transport you to another space where everyone can touch the space.

The client and his target audience highly appreciated the result.

We continue our cooperation: we support and develop the website, and also develop websites for individual products of the company — satellites.
