Media Mates
Project Overview
Media Mates is an Australian performance marketing agency that helps businesses grow through strategic digital marketing — spanning paid media, SEO, content strategy, and social media management.
The client came with an existing Figma UI/UX design and needed a pixel-perfect build. The challenge wasn't just faithfulness to the design — it was building a site that passed Lighthouse's most demanding benchmarks: Performance, Best Practices, Accessibility, and SEO all needed to score 95 or above.
Design Approach
The design is bold, modern, and unapologetically vibrant — led by a hot pink and teal gradient system that cuts through the noise typical of agency websites.
Key visual decisions include:
- Pink-to-teal gradients used consistently across CTAs, headings, and section dividers — creating a cohesive brand language that is instantly recognisable.
- Dark backgrounds with high-contrast text and gradient accents, giving the site a premium digital-first feel.
- Clean typographic hierarchy with generous whitespace — communicating authority and clarity without clutter.
- The overall aesthetic is designed to attract growth-stage businesses who want a partner that looks as sharp as their results.
Key Features
- Services Pages: Each service (Paid Media, SEO, Content, Social) has a dedicated landing page designed to convert.
- Case Studies / Results Section: Showcasing client outcomes with strong visual emphasis on numbers.
- Lead Capture Forms: Strategically placed CTAs and contact forms for pipeline generation.
- Blog / Insights Section: Content marketing hub for SEO authority.
- Fully Responsive: Flawless across mobile, tablet, and desktop at all breakpoints.
Technical Stack
- Frontend: Next.js — for static site generation, performance, and SEO control.
- Styling: Tailwind CSS — for rapid, consistent, design-system-aligned styling.
- Content Management: Single config file architecture — all copy and content centralised for easy updates without a CMS dependency.
- Hosting: Vercel.
Performance Results
The site achieved outstanding Lighthouse scores:
- Performance: 100
- Best Practices: 95+
- SEO: 100
- Accessibility: 95+
This level of optimisation was the primary technical challenge of the project — achieved through image optimisation, font loading strategies, minimal JS payloads, and Next.js static generation.
Result
A sharp, conversion-focused agency website that not only looks the part but performs at the technical level required for competitive search rankings — delivered faithfully from the client's Figma design.
