His team continues to trust us with the maintenance of key pages designed to incentivize new subscribers with the delivery of high-value content.
Web Design
Organized and sharp, the website as a whole incorporates moving parts and a semi-gridded layout. It draws inspiration from animated games and cartoons, including a custom rendition of Nik's likeness and fun visual elements like stars and ellipses. Elements of surprise include a backwards scroll on the Brands page, and quippy About copy that shows Nik’s personality.
