Polar Hedgehog

Finally, we gathered to raise a glass for the holidays (which have already passed) when circumstances allow. We ate, drank, laughed, and challenged our minds with this @break in a box. So with a fashionably late toast, here’s to a year that was challenging for its reasons, but also full of design, creation, and growth. And here’s to a new year of work, partnership, and success – and of course, one that’s more peaceful, safer, and where everyone returns home. Amen. 🙏 #happyhour #newyear #holidays #polarhedgehod #startupdesign

Proud to showcase Hexagate’s brand evolution - a global leader in #Web3 #security and #riskanalytics. We guided their journey from a bold, dark visual language to a sophisticated brand identity that reflects their growth. The rebranding combined original elements like the hexagonal symbol with a modern, clean, and precise design system, resulting in a powerful visual language that communicates trust, precision, and technological innovation.

Webflow's default slider is a great starting point, but as web designers and developers, we often need to push beyond the basics to create truly engaging websites. Integrating dynamic content from CMS Collections, adding subtle micro-interactions, or applying custom styling to match your brand's unique identity, sometimes you need more control over your sliders. Splide.js is an open-source JavaScript library for creating advanced sliders and carousels. It offers a wide range of features that give designers and developers the flexibility they need to craft great user experiences. Natalia Kovalenko has put together a guide on how to integrate Splide.js with Webflow, complete with practical examples and tips. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dnTHwqeQ
