EliteAgency
Designed a landing page for a solo software studio, built to earn trust before a single client came in.
View on Dribbble01Context
EliteAgency was a software and digital services studio I was building on my own, offering design and development work to businesses that needed to ship digital products. Before bringing in any clients, I needed a website that made a one-person operation look credible enough to compete with established agencies.
I worked solo on this, handling the UI direction, layout, and visual system for the entire page.
The problemA new, solo studio has no case studies, no client logos, and no reputation yet. Without a strong visual presence, potential clients default to agencies that already look established, even when the actual work is comparable.
02Key decisions
- 01
Built the hero around a confident, oversized headline and a dark theme, a convention usually seen on funded SaaS companies, so a one-person operation would read as an established studio.
- 02
Added a “partnering with top industry experts” logo bar early on the page. Even with placeholder logos, this borrows the social-proof pattern clients expect from a real agency, before any actual client roster existed to show.
- 03
Used a data-driven visual, a chart card showing “85% improved decision-making”, inside the capabilities section, so the value proposition is felt visually instead of read as another generic features list.
- 04
Kept the color system tight: a near-black background with one accent orange used consistently across CTAs, icons, and highlights, so action items stay obvious without extra visual noise.
03Why I stopped
I built this while exploring the idea of running my own solo software studio. Once I looked at my time realistically, balancing my degree with building my own design career, running a client-facing agency on the side wasn't something I could commit to properly. I paused the venture and kept the landing page as a design piece.
