Bold typography

Hidden navigation and pop-out menus

Modern web designers have started rethinking how the navigation and homepage menus can function better and more minimalist for a richer user experience. The trick? Hide it to make space for more enjoyable elements like images and videos while at the same time remaking the navigation and pop-menu to be sleeker.
Customized Google map
It is common sight to see the Google map of a business when you search for it on the search engine. But there’s one problem: they all almost look similar; which could devalue the purpose.

So, how about customizing your Google map to incorporate more style and your brand elements? Coo, right? After all, it is very essential in guiding clients who want to visit your physical address; and this offers a great opportunity to make a good, lasting impression on their minds.
More creativity with GIFs
