The Challenge

The Memix app’s initial design, already successful on mobile, needed to be seamlessly transferred to a web version. This process required preserving the core design elements, including colors, fonts, and overall style, while ensuring the web version maintained a fresh, updated look. As the platform grew, additional screens such as user registration, login, and profile pages were also developed for both the app and the web.

In addition to design updates, we worked on creating comprehensive marketing and branding materials to promote Memix across different channels. This included presentations for investors, as well as detailed app store and Play Market screenshots, banners, and custom animations to showcase the app’s capabilities. These animations featured custom characters and were crafted for promotional purposes, highlighting key updates such as Memix’s integration with Microsoft Outlook and Slack, as well as the release of the Memix Chrome extension.

Gapsy designed and developed Memix’s blog from the ground up, crafting custom article covers and ensuring the layout was visually appealing and aligned with Memix’s branding. The blog pages were developed with user experience in mind, giving Memix a robust content platform to engage with its audience.

For presentations aimed at potential integrations with platforms like Bumble, LINE Messenger, Tumblr, and Reddit, we created specific mockups to visualize how Memix would function within these interfaces. When Memix was featured as the App of the Day in the App Store, Gapsy also prepared special banners, adhering to strict design requirements, including format specifications, dimensions, and safe zones to ensure optimal display on various devices.
