Design review · 5 directions

DECM Engineering — pick a direction

Five visual directions for the same website and web app. Every direction carries identical placeholder content and the same three screens, so what you are comparing is the design language only — not the words or the photography.

What to look at in each one
  • Home — hero, services, product range, projects, contact and the social row.
  • Shop — the dual path: stocked items priced in ₦ and payable now, built-to-order equipment sent as a quote request. Filters, sort, quick view and cart all work.
  • Configurator — pick an AHU, chiller or air dryer, work through five steps, and watch the drawing and the spec sheet update. Options that clash with your capacity are locked out.
01

Industrial Cyan

Deep navy ground, electric cyan accents, diagonal section cuts and oversized numerals. Squared corners and uppercase headings.

Reads as: serious heavy engineering with energy — cold chain, plant rooms, industrial clients.

02

Glass & Gradient

Bright near-white canvas, slow animated mesh gradient behind the hero, frosted-glass cards, pill buttons and big radii.

Reads as: a modern product company — makes the configurator feel like software, the most "app-like" of the five.

03

Bold Editorial

Oversized italic serif headlines, flat blue blocks, hard black borders with offset shadows, amber CTAs and a horizontal-scrolling product rail.

Reads as: a confident brand with a point of view — the most memorable, and the most demanding of good photography.

04

Technical Blueprint

A drawing office rather than a brochure: blueprint grid paper, monospace labels, dimension rules, a drawing title block, and the configurator promoted above the fold.

Reads as: engineer to engineer — strongest with consultants, contractors and technical buyers.

05

Soft Modern Aqua

Blue with teal and mint, heavy whitespace, circular icons, pill shapes and centred, friendly sections.

Reads as: approachable and easy — best if a large share of buyers are homeowners and small businesses.
