Web design search queries dropped by 60% 📉

⚡️Usually in our recap, we share the projects we’ve been working on. But this time we stopped to talk about what’s happening in the market.

The web services market is shifting — and we feel it. Fewer and fewer employers come to us for simple landing pages or typical corporate sites.

Google searches for web design are down 60%⬇️ We see it in the numbers, in the calls we get, and in how employers talk to us. Instead of «build us a website», they now ask:
«how do we automate?»
«how do we integrate AI?»
«how do we build a system?»

Basically — how to do more with less manual work 🤖

What did we take away from this? 🧠

We’re still building complex web services, award-winning design, unique interfaces. That’s not going anywhere.

But we realised: if we don’t look ahead, we’ll get left behind. So we’ve started exploring how to use our strengths (deep UX, complex frontend, systems thinking) in new areas: AI, automation, business systems.🚀

We’re also working on our own products (more on that soon). Over time, we want more freedom to build what we want — and rely less on outside contracts 🛠️💪

❓Are you feeling these shifts too? What new tools or approaches are you trying out? 👇

🚀 June Recap

📊 We closed the quarter in the green, despite the summer slowdown. The team kept a steady pace throughout the month, with a good balance of development, design, and maintenance work.

🏆 Big news — Longbow won «Site of the Day» on Awwwards.
For us, it’s recognition that we create projects capable of earning such prestigious awards. Proud of the team! 🎉

💎 Some of our projects we can talk about:

🔸 AI‑powered interactive map — Cofinity-X
An employer came to us with a map they’d vibe‑coded.
The AI code had a lot of bloat, and there was no mobile version.
We manually cleaned up the code, recolored it to match the brand, built a mobile version from scratch, connected it to R‑Table, and added a hidden dashboard for review before publishing.

💡 This project reminded us that vibe-coding works well for simple projects. For complex integrations, you need more than just experience — you need a solid grasp of API, architecture, and security.

🔸 AI page for a PR agency
We designed a new AI page with a brain metaphor, animated counters, and custom looped video.
The project is also an Awwwards contender — we’re waiting for the results.
Development is almost done. We’ll be able to share the result soon.

👥 InFaces, 5th edition
The employer wanted this edition to stand out from the previous ones — with a different approach and mechanics.
The main challenge: 50 participant photos — all different formats, quality, and cropping.
We needed to unify them in one visual solution. The employer chose the Polaroid version.
The final mechanic is an infinite canvas with zoom, pan, and grid view. Clicking a photo opens a card with questions and answers.
We’re currently finishing the animations.

🔸Template sales remain low — we’re not chasing them. The market has shifted toward custom, complex projects, and that’s where we’re comfortable.
🔸More vibe‑coded projects are coming in — and we’re ready for them. It’s no longer hype, it’s real demand.
🔸We continue to invest in our own products. We already have several projects, and one cool app is in testing and refinement — we’ll share more soon.

Recently we worked on a pretty unusual project for our employer Cofinity-X

🎯 We had to develop a demo booth for an exhibition: four tablets mounted on one structure, all working together. No internet — just a local network.

Here’s how it was supposed to work 👇

A visitor interacts with any of the four tablets — say, taps a button or fills out a form. That would then trigger a chain of events on the other devices: pop-ups appear, animations play, notifications show up. At the same time, LEDs built into the booth light up 💡

⚙️ How we solved it:
· Set up a local server on a Raspberry Pi
· Tablets communicate over HTTP
· LEDs are controlled by an Arduino
· Simple flow: screen → server → controller → LED

The employer had their own person handling the PC–Arduino connection 🔌

Our job was to:

· figure out how everything should work together
· pick the right libraries
· put together clear docs — specifically, what commands our server sends to the Arduino, so their guy could configure the LEDs

Result
We assembled the booth, tested it, and handed it over ✅ The employer accepted it with zero issues. You can see the booth in action in the gallery.

05/05/2026

🚀 April was the month quantity turned into quality — we’re increasingly taking on projects beyond traditional web development.

By the numbers:

✔️2,075 paid hours — our best month this year (up 200 hours from March) 💪
✔️55% of those hours came from two long-term employers

Projects:

🔸Demo booth: Cofinity-X
The goal: Create an offline demo setup for an exhibition with four tablets that interact with each other and control an LED strip in real time.

An action on one tablet triggers an animation on another tablet and also controls physical LEDs through dedicated controllers. We solved this using a local server and custom HTTP requests, making the entire setup work without an internet connection.

🔸Evapolar
Launched a new site for the cooling appliance brand. This was our conscious step into Shopify — a platform we’ve been getting a lot of requests for from employers. Figured it was time to expand our portfolio. Built on a theme with custom dev work layered in. First sale went through, employer’s happy.

🔸Personal landing page for the CEO of InDrive
Tight deadline project. Went through two design rounds, getting sign-off across multiple management levels. Landed on a solid balance between our creative vision and the employer’s direction.

🔸InFaces — wrapping up the 4th round of employee spotlight landing pages for InDrive. The employer is already talking about a 5th edition. We’ll share the published versions soon.

🔸Templates:
Only 3 sales in April. Proforma brought in €240, while our new one, Framewave, didn’t sell at all.

But here’s the silver lining: a past customer who originally bought our ANCY template for their Analog Events project came back this month for a full site redesign — effectively paying back the entire cost of developing that template. ANCY never sold in volume on the marketplace, but it keeps bringing back a repeat customer.

That’s a big takeaway for us: a template’s value isn’t always in direct sales. Sometimes it’s a slow-burning funnel.

🧠 Our April takeaway:
Record hours and revenue are great. But what’s better? Getting interesting, technically challenging projects that push us to grow as a team.

07/04/2026

March was a productive month 🔥

We did 1,900 hours. 💪 That’s the same as last year. Three ongoing projects took up more than half of that time.

But our goal is to shift to our own products — putting more energy into pet projects like WMails.io. ✨And we’ve got another one to show soon.

Also added a new template to our collection — FRAMEVAWE 🚀

Made for motion designers and creative agencies.
No sales yet. We released it at the end of March, so it’s still too early to tell. Overall, March was a slow month for templates — €500, which is low for us. Maybe it’s just the wrong time of year.

🔹 InDrive: Cancel the Ride School
A social project about bullying in schools — helps parents catch it early and start a conversation with their kid. 🧒

🚕 The idea: while parents are taking their kid to school in a taxi, they get a push notification during the ride suggesting they “cancel the ride to school.” The site has questions from a child psychologist. The parent asks them one by one and figures out if bullying might be happening. If there are signs, it’s better to cancel the ride and talk to the child.

🎯 The goal: design and build the full site in two weeks, on budget.

Design choices:
🔸Typography and colors: InDrive’s signature green for positivity, red for warning signs.
🔸Visual nods to school: a handwriting font like you’d see in penmanship practice, notebook and ruler styling. The background is a chalkboard.
🔸Question blocks as cards you flip through like a school notebook.

Result: even with some changes along the way, we met the deadline.

Currently working on

🔹 Cat Skills (cat litter) — in development.

We’re moving the site to Shopify and finishing up the animations.

One technical detail we ran into:

🔸A trash can icon in SVG was 500KB. That’s way too heavy for a website icon. We fixed it using masks and a double background. Looks the same, but the file size is normal now.

Last month was busy 🔥 Sharing projects we can finally talk about

🔹 WMails.io
Now you can set up not just auto-replies, but full email sequences — with custom delays and as many emails as needed. No-code, takes a few clicks. Dashboard shows delivery, open rates, and link clicks.

Feature is in beta. If your site is on Webflow, give it a try. New users get 14 days free 🚀

Recently wrapped
🔹 Calculum (corporate analytics)

An employer we’ve worked with since 2020 came back for a full redesign. We tested a new approach: instead of uploading heavy files to Webflow, we served them via AWS S3. That gave us CDN benefits and noticeably improved load times. Adding this to our toolkit 🎯

In progress
🔹 Website for cat litter brands

This one has serious potential for Site of the Day once animations are done.

Brief: dry humor, modern and calm but not boring, playful yet restrained. No “cute” cats — they had to be in metal litter boxes, using specific litter, in specific poses, with a slightly edgy vibe.

Generating those “non-cute” cats took serious time. We went through tons of AI tools and dozens of prompts, but finally nailed it. 🔥 Our designer nailed the vibe from the first iteration — approved with zero revisions. Now getting ready for dev and awards 👆

🔹 Unite 2030 (platform for changemakers)
The site was mostly static and wasn’t engaging the audience 📉 Goal: redesign + build a full platform. 🎯

The biggest challenge? The employer’s multi-color logo. We had to blend bold shades with UN colors — without going overboard. We used brush strokes and ribbon elements to communicate unity ✨ Structure guides users from a free community to paid programs. Homepage design approved ✅

🔹 .holiday — villas & apartments in Cyprus
A long-term employer wanted to scale up: adding apartments to their existing villa site without breaking the booking system (Hostaway).

We used Clarity to find friction points. Then simplified navigation, renamed abstract “Lux” and “Superior” units to simple numbers (way easier for guests), and added a comparison table of amenities. Now putting together data-backed recommendations.

Calculum: Website Redesign

We worked with our long-term employers at Calculum again — they run a platform for complex corporate analytics.

We built their previous site too, about 5-6 years back. But the company has grown since then, and the old design just wasn’t doing them justice anymore.

🎯 Goals:

— Update the look to feel modern and corporate, matching their status.
— Shift to a calmer, premium aesthetic with light purple tones.
— Make the Platform page visually memorable and help it stand out.

🎯 What We Did:

1. Full visual refresh 🎨

🔹 Replaced bright, saturated colors with a muted pastel purple palette. Changed the text from black to a deep “dusty” purple — softer on the eyes and feels more premium.
🔹 Swapped flat sections for smooth gradient backgrounds. Layered light blue elements on slightly darker backgrounds to add depth.
🔹 Redrew all diagrams and graphics from scratch.
🔹 Added bright blue gradient accents to highlight key metrics.

2. Made the Platform page special 🖥️

🔸 Dark theme — creates a clear visual break and signals important content.
🔸 Interactive 3D laptop model that reveals as you scroll — keeps users engaged.
🔸 Smart hover cards: they expand, change color, and show extra content on hover. We fine-tuned the behavior so text never overlaps the images.

3. Technical solutions ⚙️

🔸 Custom preloader: Instead of a standard loader, we tied the animation to scroll. A gradient background shrinks to reveal a video — gets users interacting right from the start.
🔸 AWS video optimization: To avoid slowing down the site with heavy files, we hosted videos on AWS S3 through our build. Gives us CDN speed without bogging down servers.

📌 Result:
Clean, modern site that actually reflects an established company.

Last month was packed.
Sharing some of the most notable projects (the ones we can talk about).

✅ Wrapped up

🔹 Aurora Tech Award
We did a full platform refresh for an international award that supports women entrepreneurs.

👉Gave the site a facelift — updated the branding and added new pages.
👉Completely rebuilt the application submission platform.
The old Webflow form was unstable under load: data loss, bugs, support tickets. We rewrote it with custom code. Kept the multi-step flow and all the logic, added file upload support.

Result: Thousands of applications processed smoothly. Practically no bugs, and support got very few inquiries.

⏳In progress:

🔹 Calculum
A returning employer came back for a redesign with the goal of making the site more business-focused.

Our main focus was the platforms page — the most critical section for the employer. We added a visually striking but technically simple 3D animation and a dark theme to contrast with the rest of the site. It gave the page a premium feel that grabs attention instantly. We’ll share more details after launch.

🔹 .holiday
A long-term employer is scaling the business: apartments have been added to the villas. Our task is to integrate them into the existing structure without breaking the current booking system (Hostaway).

What we did:
· Analyzed user behavior with Clarity to identify friction points in the booking flow.
· Preparing improvement suggestions based on the data.

⚒️ Internal project

🔹 Dazzle template (update)
Dazzle was originally built for video production. The template looked bold — 3D graphics, vibrant colors — but it didn’t sell well.

What we changed:
👉Shifted the focus to photographers and videographers.
👉Removed abstract graphics so the work (photos, videos) takes center stage.
👉Made the color scheme neutral (black) so the design doesn’t compete with the portfolio.

This approach worked before with an NFT template — after repositioning it for a different niche, sales took off. Let’s see if it works for Dazzle.
