Project & Team Introduction

This site is the brainchild of our collaboration with RiseAngle and our Development Team in designing and custom-coding the site to create an exciting and immersive NFT metaverse experience for their community. Our priority throughout the design and development process was a focus on clarity and design, so users can feel fully immersed in the world of RiseAngle and its characters.

In order to manage this project successfully, the design process included constant communication between the stakeholders and the Design Team to confirm that each stage of design was true to their original vision.

Overview

RiseAngle is an incredible, cutting-edge gaming company that advocates the philosophy of nonviolent gaming with a positive impact and entered the NFT world in 2021 with the growing tide of popularity surrounding the crypto-market. This year they approached us with an idea for their website. They wanted it not only to be modern and high-quality but also to be consistent with their identity and new features. 

NFTs play an important role on the site, because users can create their own unique opportunity to own the characters and design that are featured in the games RiseAngle created. The goal was to allow users to have a more interactive participation by owning a part of the new meta-world.

Why Web Concepts Media?

With 18 years experience in designing award-winning websites, we’ve earned our stripes in creating a one of a kind custom website. Therefore, taking on a challenge like RiseAngle’s project required our UX-UI Design team to create the very best in collaboration between our teams in research, design, user architecture, user experience, and coding development to create a stunning experience. We push ourselves to the edge of innovation for our clients.

Challenges

Building a website related to the metaverse can be complicated! It is a new and growing market and this requires thorough research into the user's fundamental needs to empathize with visitors and create a unique user experience, which had never been seen before. Challenges included:


  • Integrating characters from their digital universe World of Mazes into their design 
  • Creating a fully customizable website for the client to update for new drops, that includes character integration and drop announcements

User Needs

Our UX Design Team set to work and began to research the needs of the company’s user-base. It was important to empathize with the potential user’s experience to reach a better understanding of how to design the site in terms of priority and information architecture. Therefore, it was important for the UX Research Team to answer the following questions: 

  • Who are the users?
  • What are the demographics (age, gender, interests, etc.) of users?
  • What are users looking for on the site?
  • What is the ideal user experience?

Competitor Analysis

Site Map

We organized the site map to include all necessary sections each visitor would click through to find useful information on the site. It was structured intentionally prioritizing clarity and information, as the world of NFTs is just developing and earning a household name. Hence, we anticipated that the scope of user knowledge may be limited and catered the site structure to meeting those user needs.

User Flow

Similar to the site map, we kept the user flow as simple as possible because the metaverse and NFTs are not familiar for everyone, so the user flow had to be simple and clear for every single website visitor regardless of their demographic. This website also worked to introduce them into the field of the metaverse and NFTs as well as the gaming community of RiseAngle.

Low - Fi Wireframes

Now having collected thorough user research and designed the basic site structure and information architecture based on our findings, we began to structure the site using low-fidelity wireframing. Our client needed to convey the importance of NFTs connecting their gaming community to the platform. To do this, we had to create a multi-immersive experience that engaged the customer with the website. This organization emphasized the seamless cohesion between the NFT artwork, the character, and the game itself. Extra care was taken to keep it visually stunning as well as informative.

Style Board

The style of the website set the tone for RiseAngle’s site and overall brand that we wanted to conceptualize and encapsulate. We wanted the style to be cohesive, so we used the style, shapes, and colors they had in their designs and their characters to make the website feel as though you’ve just stepped into one of their video games. We utilized lots of gradients and contrasts between dark and light aspects to create a dramatic digital atmosphere. We tell a story through the color palette, typography, icons, and the buttons.

High Fidelity Mockup

As we wire-framed, we also had to decide which design worked best through A-B testing. So, we created different versions of the site to consult with the client on which version best conveyed their site vision. Once the Design Team got approval for the site maps and designs from RiseAngle, we began to develop the website and load the site with content and pictures while ensuring functionality. After our coding team developed the website with the approved wireframing sitemap, the next step was to check that all parts of the site were functional and working together. The Quality Assurance Team used a rigorous checklist which confirmed all parts worked, were bug-free, and ready for launch.

Phase Two Overview

Our goal in the second phase of development was to build a comprehensive portal for NFT providers where they can request to add their NFT release date that translated into an interactive calendar for users to see what is coming soon in the wonderful world of NFTs. There was a large amount of information architecture to be considered when Building the Calendar to ensure that viewers can easily browse. Due to the implementation of phase two, the calendar increased Rise Angle’s website traffic and increased market success of their own personal NFTs that were marketed and promoted on the calendar.

Style Board

The goal of our style decisions was to both promote a network of NFT providers and rise angle as an emerging business in the NFT market that they are working to become a top leader in. While we understood that other business’ NFTs would be marketed on the Calendar, we wanted to highlight Rise Angle through and through in each of our stylistic decisions. We chose a color palette that we felt represented their brand but provided unity as a common color scheme of all NFT providers. We increased the visibility of rise angle’s gaming characters and NFT releases by highlighting them in the banner and throughout the website.

Phase Three Overview

The third and final phase of our design process was to build a magazine for Rise Angle with a comprehensive portal for their writers and team to access. Rise Angle has more than 20 copywriters, so our goal was to find a solution to allow all copywriters to publish their works for the general public on a blog formatted web page. Our solution for their copywriters to streamline the communication and submittal process was to create a backend portal with high level functionality to Submit their work for the marketing manager to approve, Format, and Post. The Portal hosts over 30 creators and staff.
