Developing a dynamic digital experience to match industry-leading solar company offer
Raptor Maps approached us seeking assistance in enhancing its digital presence. The climate tech company was dissatisfied with its existing digital experience and wanted a web design that not only showcased its cutting-edge software but also facilitated its growth within the solar industry.
The project brought about various challenges, including a brand-new CMS — Framer — and a tight time frame of just 2.5 months from start to finish. Spoiler alert: our development expertise shone through, enabling us to successfully navigate and overcome any limitations posed by Framer’s front-end-based system, meet our delivery deadline, and exceed client expectations.

Striking a balance between Raptor Maps expectations and Framer's capabilities
A dynamic design and a well-structured digital journey can be pivotal in scaling climate tech solutions and accelerating lead generation. The newly designed website navigation for Raptor Maps is crucial for improving the user experience, making content more discoverable, and strengthening Raptor Maps’ online presence.
Regarding the website, Framer seemed like the perfect fit with its low-code capabilities. However, as we delved into this new CMS, it became evident that its front-end interface did not fully align with the client’s expectations for the final outcome.
One of the main challenges we encountered revolved around analytics. The client didn’t know that Framer offers its own analytics solution and doesn’t support Google-based analytics. Our development team took the initiative to build a custom-coded cookie bar to seamlessly integrate Google Analytics to meet the client’s specific requirements.
All in all, the use of Framer introduced a few unexpected twists and turns that hadn’t been on Raptor Maps’ initial roadmap. But here’s where our expertise as a design and strategy agency really shone through. Luckily, we had the in-house capabilities and expertise to provide the client with the necessary assistance and nail the assignment.
