We've improved how we design websites, so we revisited yours: a free upgrade of your current site, and three new directions.
 
We took another look at your website
Dear Fabio and Bharath,
We've recently improved the way we design websites. We can now show several distinct directions at the start of a project, built more consistently, so you can see real options before deciding where to take your site.
We're offering this once, to existing ANTE clients whose websites were built with our earlier process. So we asked ourselves how we'd approach the CDL website today.
We've put together an upgrade of your current site, and three new directions. Each is a fully responsive prototype you can explore on desktop and mobile.

THE UPGRADE
Your current site, upgraded
The current CDL site, upgraded
Still clearly your site. The same colours, typefaces, video hero and section order, with the carousels replaced by a clear publications grid and a team section that shows everyone at once.
We only changed things where it makes a real difference: easier to read, easier to keep up to date, and a design that will still look right in a few years.
Free for CDL. Your site only launched last year, so this upgrade is at no charge.

NEW DIRECTIONS
Three new directions
If you'd like something new, these start fresh. Each has its own character.
Calm and structured
Calm and structured direction
A light, structured layout in ETH Blue, led by the FlexMaps Pavilion. Publications become a clear list with PDF, code and project links for each paper. Explore this direction →
The built world
The built world direction
A dark, photographic direction. The hero is your own footage of a tensile prototype being assembled, and a Built work section shows the physical side of your research. Explore this direction →
Playful rigour
Playful rigour direction
A light, colourful direction led by your own renders, starting with Generative Whimsy Jigsaws, followed by a spotlight on your newest paper. Explore this direction →

At this stage we'd just like your first instinct: which one feels right for CDL? You don't need to comment on every detail.
There's no obligation at all. We'll keep these online until the middle of next year, so take your time. If one of the new directions appeals more, it comes at a special rate for existing clients.
If one catches your eye, we'd be glad to walk you through it on a short call and talk about what it would take.
We'd love to hear what you think.
