Why am I doing this project?
This is continuing work from my previous freelance project for an AI coaching platform. The client requested to create a new website due to their changes on the product.

Introduction
In this project, I was the UX/UI Designer, responsible for designing SelfActualize.AI’s second business website to effectively showcase their AI coaching platform to both coaches and clients. The goal was to clearly present the product’s key features and values while ensuring seamless access to experience the platform.
The website of an AI-coaching platform effectively presents their product to both existing and potential coaches, as well as clients. The site helps users understand the key features and values of the product, while offering easy access to experience the platform.
The Problem 🛑
The AI coaching company wants to create a website that showcases their product to existing & potential coaches and their clients so that they could understand important features and values of the product, and obtain easy access to experience it.
My Solution ✅
The goal is to design a clear, engaging, and informative website that allows potential coaches and clients to seamlessly explore the platform’s features, understand its benefits, and take action to experience the AI coaching service. The website should highlight the brand’s credibility, innovative approach, and make it easy for users to engage with the platform.
Empathizing

This project’s goal was to design and develop a website for SelfActualize.AI, highlighting the platform’s key features and introducing the initial coaches. I focused on creating visually engaging, user-friendly pages that showcases the app’s benefits for clients and coaches, along with individual landing pages for each coach. These pages are tailored to their coaching programs and reflect their unique brand identities, ensuring a cohesive and personalized visitor experience.

Given a tight timeline for both design and Webflow development, I expedited my design process to deliver a user-friendly and business-aligned outcome. I focused on presenting the platform’s key features effectively, ensuring that the design met both user needs and business objectives without compromising on quality.

Understanding Client’s Goal

The objective was to design and develop a website that effectively showcases the SelfActualize.AI platform. The website needed to:

  • Introduce key features of the beta version.
  • Provide access for users to experience the WebApp.
  • Home page for coaches to introduce key features and benefits designed for coaches
  • Home page for clients to showcase the product and key features of the platform
  • Include individual landing pages for the initial coaches, highlighting their unique coaching programs.

Ideating

Inspiration

When deciding how to shape the look and feel of this project, I sought a clean, modern aesthetic that communicates both professionalism and approachability. I drew inspiration from minimalist brand identities, focusing on clear typography, ample white space, and subtle pops of color for visual interest. By emphasizing simplicity and clarity, the design supports an intuitive user experience while maintaining a polished, contemporary feel.

Structuring the Website Content

To determine the best way to organize the website’s content, I began my design process with digital wireframes. This step allowed me to establish a clear layout, ensuring an intuitive flow while effectively presenting key features and coach landing pages. Below are some example wireframes that guided the development process.

Translating abstract concepts into intuitive diagram

The client wanted to clearly educate potential users (coaches) to understand the AI-based smart coaching science behind this product. I was tasked to translate a technical graph that was filled by technical terms into a intuitive and easy-to-follow visual representation. Iterations made based on feedback from stakeholders to enhance the readability and accessibility of the following ACI diagram:

Webflow Development: From Figma to Webflow

After the website design being finalized, it was ready to be developed using a website builder platform called Webflow. During the development phase, some extra additions (such as transitional animation) were made to enhance the interactive dynamic of the website. The built site then went through 3-4 review sessions with the client team. Repetitive reviews and revisions were completed before the hand-off. Now the website has been launched and has welcomed lots of visitors! Only about 70% of the original design remains the same after development.

Takeaways
Learnings 🎓
A major learning from this project was that a company’s digital presence must balance storytelling and conversion-focused design. Users need both a compelling brand narrative and a clear path to action.
Influence on My Future Design 🚀
This experience will shape my approach to future projects by emphasizing strategic content placement, clear messaging, and user-driven navigation. I will continue refining brand storytelling through UX/UI to ensure websites align with both business goals and user needs.
