Overview
Wired for Success: Bridging the Gap Between Hardware and Web
Ever wished for a digital handshake that leaves a lasting impression? That's exactly what Dikman Systems needed — a brand-new website that could serve as a sleek, modern business card for potential clients and employees. Imagine a space where cutting-edge circuit board designs meet an equally innovative online presence. That’s the vision I brought to life for Dikman Systems, blending their high-tech expertise with a user-friendly, visually captivating website.
Challenge
Starting from scratch can be both exhilarating and daunting. Dikman Systems had no existing website, meaning I had a blank canvas to create something truly remarkable. The challenge was to craft an engaging and professional online presence that effectively showcased Dikman Systems' expertise in custom circuit board design and manufacturing, attracting both clients and top talent.
Solution
With a dash of creativity and a sprinkle of tech wizardry, I set out to create a website that would be both functional and fabulous. By incorporating intuitive UX/UI design and robust development practices, the new Dikman Systems site now dazzles like a circuit board under a magnifying glass. Clean, modern, and interactive—this website is a digital delight.
Discovery
Blueprints and Brainstorms: The Journey of Discovery
Embarking on this project felt like diving into a tech wonderland. To truly understand what the website needed, I:
- Conducted surveys with 15 potential clients and employees (aged 25–45) to gauge their preferences.
- Held in-depth interviews with 3 key stakeholders from Dikman Systems to align with their vision.
- Analyzed 11 competitor websites to identify industry best practices and opportunities for innovation.

- Simplicity is Key: Users appreciate a straightforward, clean design.
- Speed Matters: Fast loading times are crucial for retaining visitors.
- Engagement Hooks: Interactive elements and clear CTAs (Call to Actions) keep users engaged.
- Consistency Wins: A cohesive design language enhances the user experience.
