The hero image’s promotion of an eye candy product on the home page captures the user’s attention from the start. A section promoting the latest new product acquisitions using both images and conceptual elements follows. There is a coherency through the design between the use of icons and the use of design elements. Everything is structured to contribute to the brand image, while parallax, as employed on the company page, conveys a feeling of depth.
The classic e-commerce elements are present in the product page as related products, product categories, prices, top rated products, etc. In spite of making a wealth of information available, the website as a whole, with its elegant use of colors, retains a sharp, stylish appearance.

This pre-built website is destined to enterprises and companies engaged in logistics-related services.
The BeLogistics design is concise and to the point, as is the unique value proposition. The focus is more on addressing the user’s needs, than on the company itself.

Users are almost certain to be attracted by this somewhat rare combination of seriousness and friendliness.
BeMoto – Join the Badass Club
BeMoto is destined to a motorcycle club.
You can almost hear the “Vroom, Vroom”. Yet the design, with its clear lines and concise approach, is in its own way, subtly elegant, while underlining the spirit, adventure, and camaraderie of the biker’s club.
Under the header on the homepage is an events section. Here, forthcoming road trips and other club events are announced. The overall simplicity of BeMoto extends into the other pages as well, including the all-important “About” page.
The purpose of this website is not simply that of providing information about a club. In actuality, it is more of a marketing tool. A call to action on each page invites users to become new club members, in addition to informing all members about current issues and planned events.
Images are always important, and in BeMoto, the images are used tell to tell a story about of the biker’s world that text alone can never completely relate.
