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 and build websites. We now show several distinct options up front, built more consistently. As a one-time offer to existing ANTE clients whose sites were built with our earlier process, we've applied that to the CDL website.
We've put together a free upgrade of the current CDL website, 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.
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.
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.

You don't have to pick any of these. If you'd rather keep your site as it is, that's completely fine. We'll keep them online until the middle of next year, so there's plenty of time to look through them and discuss them with the team. If one of the new directions appeals, it comes at a special rate for existing clients.
When you're ready, just reply to this email with your thoughts, or suggest a time for a short call and we'll walk you through them.
Best regards,
Adrian
