about the project:
UTRO Studio offers solutions in architecture, landscape, spatial development and product design. They are experts in the improvement of public spaces and the revitalisation of historic buildings and areas.
Developing Process
We were tasked with developing a website for "UTRO Studio" that required a unique design within a tight deadline. To expedite the development process, we decided to utilize the no-code platform called "Tilda." This platform offers an API integration with Figma, enabling seamless transfer of custom design blocks from Figma to Tilda. One of the key advantages of working with Tilda is its extensive library of pre-configured standard function blocks. These blocks can be further customized using CSS and JavaScript, providing flexibility in design implementation.
With Hanna, our skilled UX/UI designer on the project, granting me access to the approved site layout, I began transferring and adapting the design onto the Tilda platform.
Key Features
A full-screen sticky slider, composed of overlapping blocks, was implemented to remain fixed as the user scrolled through the 'portfolio' section
Full responsibility with auto-scale feature on sizes 1200-MAX that means that design will be looking the same size on different resolutions on big displays
Final Layouts
Design adaptation for all basic devices (mobile phones, tablets)
Mobile layout
Adaptive design for all major devices using Bootstrap framework grids for design layout.

Final Thoughts
Working on this project provided me with a valuable and intriguing experience. Typically, when developing websites on no-code platforms, I handle both the development and design aspects myself. However, for this particular project, we had the talented designer Hanna onboard. It was fascinating to witness the collaboration between a designer and a developer while solely focusing on development.
As a designer, one of my main takeaways from this project was gaining an understanding of what could realistically be implemented by the developer and recognizing elements that may not be feasible or too resource-intensive. On the other hand, as a no-code developer, I learned how to effectively communicate with the designer about why certain features would present challenges or incur high costs in terms of implementation resources. This allowed me to suggest alternative solutions instead.
