Wallace Community Library – Framer Landing Page

Designed in Figma, built in Framer-an interactive, responsive landing page for Wallace Community Library.

Summary 

The Wallace Community Library needed a modern, intuitive online presence. I designed the layout in Figma and fully developed it in Framer, focusing on smooth interactions, responsive design, and a clean UI.

Figma Design Process- From Concept to Design 

Before development, I focused on structuring the library’s website with a clean layout, simple typography, and engaging visual hierarchy in Figma.

Typography

I used Raleway for its clean, modern aesthetic, which ensures both readability and visual appeal across devices.

Color Pallette

I chose this color pallette to convey warmth and professionalism

Bringing It to Life in Framer

After finalizing the design, I used Framer to develop a fully interactive, responsive site. The focus was on maintaining pixel-perfect accuracy from Figma while integrating smooth interactions.

Key Features 

• Seamless Layout: Structured for readability & clarity

• Fully Responsive: Optimized for desktop & mobile

• Smooth Transitions & Animations: Enhancing engagement

Challenges & Solutions

1. The first significant challenge I faced while working on this was optimizing the Design for Mobile

• The Issue:

Initially, the design was created for a desktop screen in Figma. The layout was tailored for a larger display, and when transitioning to Framer, I faced challenges ensuring the site would look good and function well on smaller mobile screens. Adjusting the spacing, scaling, and layout while maintaining a consistent and usable design across devices required careful adjustments.

• The Solution:

I tackled this challenge by utilizing Framer’s responsive design features, focusing on flexible grids and breakpoints to optimize content scaling. I had to frequently test on different screen sizes to ensure that the elements were appropriately adjusted without losing their structure. This made me more familiar with the nuances of mobile-first design and reminded me of the importance of thinking about smaller screens early in the design process.

2. Next one was implementing Mobile Navigation

• The Issue:

A key part of the design involved a mobile-friendly navigation menu that would be easy to use on smaller screens. I initially struggled with translating the desktop navigation into a mobile-friendly version without making it feel cluttered or difficult to use. The standard top bar didn’t fit well on mobile, and I needed a solution that would be both intuitive and space-efficient.

• The Solution:

After experimenting with several options, I implemented a slide-in mobile navigation menu using Framer’s built-in animations. This solution allowed me to keep the navigation clean and accessible, while also saving screen space. It required some trial and error to ensure the sliding animation was smooth, and the links were easy to tap without feeling cramped. In the end, it made the navigation both functional and user-friendly, improving the overall mobile experience.

Final Thoughts & Next Steps

This project strengthened my ability to design and build within Framer, refining my skills in layout structuring, responsiveness, and smooth interactions. Moving forward, I’d love to explore micro-interactions and advanced animations to further enhance the experience.
