Development workspace for the Brandarc marketing site prototype.
Current SignManager Site
Archived assets from the current signmanager.com.au site for reference during the rebrand.
About
The current SignManager website is a WordPress-based site serving as the baseline for the Brandarc rebrand. These archived assets document the existing brand presence — logos, imagery, icons, and page layouts — for direct comparison against the new design direction.
Key brand elements include the gold/yellow (#F4B50C) and navy (#0D0E3D) colour palette, Proxima Nova and GalanoGrotesque typography, and the existing signage-focused visual language.

Design Inspiration from Outcrowd.io
Visual inspiration from outcrowd.io, a design agency with excellent animation and dark theme execution.
What We Like
Outcrowd demonstrates how to build a premium, polished dark-themed site with smooth animations, generous whitespace, and strong visual hierarchy. Their use of Lottie animations for hero illustrations and subtle hover effects creates an engaging experience without overwhelming the content.
Animation & FX
- Lottie (Bodymovin) for complex vector animations
- GSAP ScrollTrigger for scroll-linked animations
- CSS transitions for hover states
- Video playback control, audio feedback, form interactions
Layout
- Full-viewport hero sections
- Alternating two-column layouts
- Card grid patterns
- Sticky elements for progressive reveal
Visual Design
- Dark theme (#111) with high-contrast text
- Purple accent for CTAs
- Generous whitespace (~100vh sections)
- Rounded corners (12-16px)
Typography
- Large display headings (48-72px)
- Muted gray body text
- Weight variation (400/600-700)
