Objectives & Goals
The goal of this project was to create a visually stunning, fully responsive, and high-performance website for Ad Exterior Design. The client provided a detailed Figma design file, and our mission was to bring it to life with pixel-perfect precision. Additionally, the website needed to be optimized for speed, handle a large image gallery, and include responsive tooltips over images to enhance user interaction.
Challenges
Large Gallery:
The website featured a massive image gallery, which posed a challenge in terms of loading speed and responsiveness. We needed to ensure the gallery looked great on all devices without compromising performance.
Responsive Tooltips:
The design included tooltips that would appear over images when hovered. Making these tooltips responsive and visually consistent across devices was a tricky task.
Pixel-Perfect Design:
The client had high expectations for the design to match the Figma file exactly, leaving no room for error.
Speed Optimization:
With a large gallery and interactive elements, we had to ensure the website loaded quickly to provide a seamless user experience.
Development Process
To tackle these challenges, we used Elementor, a popular WordPress page builder, along with custom widget development, JavaScript, and CSS. Here’s how we approached the project:
Pixel-Perfect Design:
We meticulously translated the Figma design into a live website, ensuring every element—spacing, fonts, colors, and images—matched the client’s vision.
Custom CSS was used to fine-tune the design and achieve pixel-perfect accuracy.
Responsive Design:
The website was built to be fully responsive, meaning it looks and functions perfectly on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Media queries and flexible layouts were implemented to ensure a consistent experience across all screen sizes.
Large Gallery Optimization:
To handle the large gallery, we optimized images for web use, reducing file sizes without sacrificing quality. Lazy loading was implemented to ensure images only loaded when they came into the user’s viewport, improving page speed.
Responsive Tooltips:
Using JavaScript and CSS, we created tooltips that dynamically adjusted their position and size based on the user’s device and screen resolution. The tooltips were designed to be intuitive and visually appealing, enhancing the user experience without being intrusive.
Speed Optimization:
- We minified CSS and JavaScript files to reduce load times.
- Caching mechanisms were implemented to improve performance.
- The website was tested using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to ensure it met high-speed standards.

Pixel-Perfect Design:

Despite the large gallery and interactive elements, the website loaded quickly, providing a smooth user experience.

Zero Spam:
