Introduction
Make Real Progress is a bold, modern leadership development brand led by Katy—an experienced coach, facilitator, and speaker known for her high-energy delivery and results-driven approach. While she already had a website built in WordPress, it no longer reflected the impact or personality behind her brand. It felt outdated, lacked visual clarity, and didn’t do justice to her work. Katy came to us for a complete overhaul—a new design and Webflow build that would bring her brand to life online.
Mockup
Before jumping into design, we began by crafting a strategic wireframe. This low-fidelity layout helped us plan the site structure, content flow, and user journey without the distraction of colours or visuals. It ensured every section had a clear purpose and allowed Katy to review and approve the layout early on. This upfront planning helped us avoid costly revisions later and set a strong foundation for the creative phase.


Website Design
Once the wireframe was approved, we moved into full visual design in Figma. The goal: create a bold, personality-driven website that truly captures the energy and confidence of Make Real Progress.
We introduced strong typography, vibrant gradient flames representing her three service pillars, and strategic black-and-white imagery to highlight key messaging. The layout was structured to guide visitors through her services—Training for Companies, Training for Individuals, and Coaching & Mentoring—while showcasing Katy’s credibility and voice through testimonials, case studies, and video content.
Subtle animations, layered effects, and strong brand visuals helped make the experience dynamic and memorable—just like Katy herself.


CMS Setup
To keep content fresh and easy to manage, we implemented a custom CMS for blog posts, case studies, and testimonials. This allows Katy to update her content quickly—no tech skills required.
Each CMS collection is dynamically displayed across the site: testimonials appear on multiple pages for social proof, case studies connect directly with services, and blog posts feed into key thought leadership areas. We also built in smart filtering and tag systems so content always appears where it’s most relevant.
Now, Katy can publish new content or make edits without ever needing a developer—giving her more freedom to focus on what she does best.
Development on Webflow
Once the design was finalised, we brought it to life in Webflow. The build focused on performance, responsiveness, and interactivity. We used scroll-based animations, content reveals, and engaging transitions to make the user journey feel seamless and polished.
Webflow’s flexibility allowed us to build exactly what we designed—without compromise. The result is a lightning-fast, responsive website that looks and feels modern across every device. Whether users are browsing case studies or watching a DisruptHR talk, the experience feels smooth, thoughtful, and engaging from start to finish.
Conclusion
The new Make Real Progress website is a powerful reflection of Katy’s brand: clear, bold, and full of energy. It’s more than just a redesign—it’s a strategic transformation that elevates her credibility and makes her services shine.
Built in Webflow with a fully custom CMS, the site gives Katy a platform that’s visually stunning, easy to manage, and built to grow alongside her business. We’re proud to have played a role in helping her bring that vision to life.
