Objectives

Redesign Objectives

We started by analyzing the previous website, by breaking it down and auditing elements and user flows. Based off the analysis and assumptions, below are the key objectives we set for the redesign.
1
Modern Aesthetic
We took a look at the competitive landscape and noticed that many VC firm's did not prioritize branding, so we decided to focus on this for brand differentiation and to give a wow factor for founders who land on the page. The tone we were after was sleek and minimal.
2
Ease of inquiry
Our main objective goal for the website is for a founder to go through the submission form as seamlessly as possible. We slimmed the form down to a 3 minute completion time, while still giving pourdad capital preliminary information they need to make a proper decision.
3
Transparency
Many other firms didn't highlight their brand values, mission statement, or have a manifesto. We thought if we could bring transparency around how pourdad operates, this would help minimize communication costs on prospective investments, and close more deals.
