Making enterprise AI make sense in one scroll

adaapt lets any team ask questions of their own data. the old site explained it like a spec sheet. people got curious, then got lost. i rebuilt it around roles, so a sales head or an exec sees their answer first and the tech second.

The redesigned Adaapt AI website hero: Give the power of AI to your workforce

Overview

adaapt wanted to be a self-serve ai platform for team-wide insights. not a tool for the data team. a tool for everyone else.

Vision

stop selling features. start showing outcomes. a visitor should land, find their role and get “oh, this is for me” before they scroll twice.

User problem

interest was there. understanding wasn’t. visitors couldn’t tell what it actually does, if it fits their role, or where to start. so they hesitated, then left.

Solution

role-based navigation. simpler messaging. one clear next step per section. clarity first, then depth.

What we shipped

one page that explains enterprise ai without a demo call

a single conversion-focused journey: what it does → how it works → why it matters. dense data workflows turned into one story, on desktop and mobile.

How I approached it

Turn your data into insights and your team into self-service analysts

Research & audit

audited the old site and the competitors. found where clarity and trust broke.

UX design

information architecture, user flows, role-based journeys. every section answers one question and points to the next.

UI design

grid, type, colour and spacing first. then high fidelity. clean hierarchy, focused ctas.

Components

the wireframes became reusable pieces: feature cards, query states, dashboard previews, role sections.

Scope of the work

Changing the way your team does business

UX architecture & user flow

progressive storytelling, clear navigation, intuitive journeys.

Design system & visual consistency

typography, spacing, grids, colours, reusable patterns.

Interaction & conversion

cta visibility, content hierarchy, section-level interactions that push toward action.

Asset creation

high-fidelity visuals and screens that make complex data readable.

Design approach

Structuring the ideation

before any pixels, i mapped how someone actually figures adaapt out. hero → solutions → features → case studies. the story had one job: what it does, how it works, why it matters. in that order.

Key ideation decisions

  • clarity over complexity
  • ai explained simply, not technically
  • insights before features
  • roles before capabilities
Ideation board: clear value proposition, role-based relevance, progressive information flow, trust and proof through data, key ideation decisions and feature roadmap

Mid-fidelity wireframes

Designing the structure before the surface

low-fi wireframes to lock structure, hierarchy and flow before the visual layer. checked against competitors and the user flow. each section answers one user question and hands off to the next.

Design system

grid, colours, type & icons

enterprise content is dense. the system had to make it feel approachable and still scale. grid, type, colour, spacing and icons were set before hi-fi, so every later section clicked into place.

Feature card components

The product, one card at a time

four components carry the whole product story. dense analytics, made scannable.

Conversation card: asking which clusters have the highest average sale amount Conversation card: asking which clusters have the highest average sale amount

Conversation

Making data exploration more human

dense analytics, turned into decision-ready conversations.

Roles card: a searchable list of role-based dashboards Roles card: a searchable list of role-based dashboards

Roles

Role-based data experience

one board, a view per role. better visibility, less hunting.

AI responses card: an analysing answer to a sales question AI responses card: an analysing answer to a sales question

AI responses

Conversational query interface

ask in plain words, get a clean answer.

Dashboards card: role-specific KPI bar chart and a custom donut visualisation Dashboards card: role-specific KPI bar chart and a custom donut visualisation

Dashboards

Data visualisation & KPI monitoring

performance data that’s easy to explore, compare and act on.

How the AI behaves

the ai shows its work

It says what it’s doing

the answer panel moves from “analyzing query…” to “generating response…”, so nobody stares at a frozen screen.

It shows where the answer came from

every answer carries a source data row above the analysis.

It never dead-ends

each answer ends with “explore further”: the next questions worth asking.

The user stays in control

ask anything in plain words, follow up or start over. no query language.

Learnings & final thoughts

What this project taught me

Design is more than visuals

good ux gives direction, confidence and clarity. pretty is the easy part.

Enterprise UX should feel human

hierarchy, storytelling and small interactions make data-heavy products approachable.

Fewer choices, better decisions

cutting options and tightening the flow did more for engagement than any new feature.

Systems early

reusable patterns and solid ui foundations, set up on day one, made it easy to scale.
