Overview
DealSumm uses AI to extract and analyse lease data for commercial real estate portfolios. In 2024 I built their marketing site in Webflow from our agency designer’s Figma file, our first project together. In early 2026 the client came back wanting a fresher site and more pages. This time I designed the refresh as well as building it, and added four new sections to the site.
My role
2024: built the full site in Webflow from the agency designer’s Figma design
2026: redesigned the site in Figma within the existing brand, built a design system with tokens, iterated on the direction with the client, then built it, adding about 10 new pages
Built the interactive pieces: the timed hero cards and auto-rotating tabs
Structured the CMS for the site’s recurring content: blog and authors, case studies, team, open positions, testimonials, client logos and a video library
Built both versions on Client-First, so another developer can pick the project up without a walkthrough
Challenges & solutions
01
A refresh built on a design system
The client wanted the site to feel fresher without changing a brand they already had. I kept the identity and fonts, and focused on the structure underneath. The 2024 typography scale was inconsistent, so I rebuilt it, then turned the refresh into a proper design system in Figma:
Colour: an expanded palette built from the existing brand colours, defined as tokens
Typography: a type scale set for each breakpoint
Components: buttons, input states and reusable section components
We went through a few rounds with the client to settle the direction, then I built it in Webflow on the same tokens, so the design file and the live site use one system.

The design system behind the redesign: colour tokens, a type scale per breakpoint, and component states02
Four new sections for how CRE teams buy
The redesign also expanded the site. The navigation now leads with Solutions and Sectors, and I added about 10 pages across four new sections:
Solutions: the service models (Self-Service, DIY, Full Service)
Sectors: pages for each type of CRE team
Platform features: product pages for each capability
Video library: a CMS-driven collection of product and customer videos
Every new page is assembled from the design system’s components, so the sections stay consistent and adding a page doesn’t need new design work.

A hero timed to the video
The hero uses a fullscreen aerial video of a city skyline with built-in pauses. Our agency designer prepared it for the original build, and it carried over into the redesign unchanged. It plays through Webflow’s native background video element. I added data cards (rent trends, critical-date alerts) that appear next to specific buildings. They’re pure Webflow Interactions, timed from page load to land on each pause, so the effect needs no custom code. Mobile gets the same video and cards, rearranged to fit a narrow screen.

Tabs that run on their own
Product features sit in tabs that rotate automatically, with a progress bar showing time to the next tab. I wrote custom JavaScript on top of Webflow’s native tabs rather than rebuilding them, so the structure stays editable in the Designer.
