Crypto Web Design 101
In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, trust is everything. As digital assets continue to disrupt traditional finance, companies operating in this space must project credibility and professionalism at every turn. But what happens when a company's online presence does the opposite?
Recently, I had the opportunity to help a Belgium-based Crypto Compliance company transform their outdated, unprofessional website into an award-winning platform—all within an ambitious 30-day timeline. This is the story of how innovative web design and a deep understanding of client needs can elevate a brand to new heights.
BACKGROUND: CRYPTO WEB DESIGN
ABOUT THE CLIENT
The company specializes in two critical services:
Crypto Tax Calculation
Crypto-to-Fiat Repatriation
Despite their expertise, they faced a significant hurdle: their website was not doing them justice.
THE CHALLENGE
The existing website lacked visual interest and professionalism. It consisted of a single page with minimal content and random placement of logos. The founder felt embarrassed to present the site to potential partners, especially banks, which are crucial for their business. The unprofessional appearance was more than just an aesthetic issue—it was a barrier to trust.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
When I first analyzed their website, it was clear that a complete overhaul was necessary. The site failed to communicate the company's value proposition and lacked the user experience needed to engage visitors.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUST IN CRYPTO
In an industry often met with skepticism, projecting trustworthiness is paramount. A company's website is often the first point of contact with potential clients and partners. If it doesn't inspire confidence, opportunities can be lost before conversations even begin.
THE SOLUTION
BRAND DESIGN SPRINT
To address these challenges, we started with a brand design sprint. This process involved:
Deep Diving into Their Services: Understanding the complexities of crypto tax and repatriation services.
Identifying the Target Audience: Pinpointing who they are, their needs, and how best to communicate with them.
Developing a Brand Identity: Crafting a visual and messaging framework that aligns with their expertise and professionalism.
LEVERAGING WIX STUDIO
Given the tight 30-day deadline, we chose Wix Studio as our platform. This no-code solution allowed for rapid development without sacrificing quality.
Advanced Features: Wix Studio supported the integration of WebGL and 3D animations, essential for creating an immersive experience.
Efficiency: The platform's user-friendly interface enabled us to focus on design and functionality rather than getting bogged down with coding challenges.
IMPLEMENTATION
DESIGN ELEMENTS
We aimed to create a site that was not only professional but also engaging.
WebGL and 3D Animations: These technologies added depth and interactivity, capturing visitors' attention.
Complex Animations: Smooth transitions and animations guided users through the content seamlessly.
Intuitive Navigation: Clear menus and calls-to-action made the site user-friendly.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Integrating 3D animations into Wix Studio was a new frontier.
Technical Hurdles: We had to find creative solutions to implement advanced features within the platform's capabilities.
Time Management: Balancing innovation with the tight deadline required meticulous planning and execution.
THE TRANSFORMATION
BEFORE AND AFTER

The new website was a stark contrast to its predecessor:
Professional Aesthetics: Clean design, cohesive color schemes, and strategic use of white space.
Engaging Content: Clear descriptions of services, benefits, and client-centric messaging.
Enhanced Credibility: Proper placement of certifications and affiliations built trust.
AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Our hard work paid off:
6 Design Awards: Including the prestigious Site of the Day on Orpetron Design Awards.
Industry Praise: Positive feedback from peers and professionals in the web design community.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
The founder's testimonial speaks volumes:
"Hardik is a great artist with a strong understanding of the client's needs."
THE IMPACT FOR BUSINESS
Enhanced Confidence
The founder no longer hesitates to showcase the website. This newfound confidence has opened doors to partnerships and opportunities that were previously out of reach.
Business Growth
While still early, the company has reported increased inquiries and positive reactions from existing clients and partners.
Brand Trust
The professional website now accurately reflects the company's expertise, building trust with anyone who interacts with their brand online.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

By taking the time to understand the client's challenges and goals, we were able to deliver a solution that exceeded expectations.
