Market & Context
Cloud spend had become a problem everyone could feel—and few could fix. Startups were burning cash on managed services, even as open-source tooling quietly matured into powerful alternatives. Infra teams were stretched thin, stitching together vendor after vendor just to get a production environment live. Panfactum entered the scene with a radical proposition: you could launch faster, automate more, and cut your cloud bill—all by owning your stack.
Brand & Product Limitations
The original site looked like what it was: something engineers had spun up in between commits. It was fragmented, inconsistent, and void of any real brand presence. No logo. No tone. No story. For a product built with this much care, the website felt like an afterthought—and it was costing them clarity with exactly the audience they needed to win.
Strategic & Technical Barriers
The biggest challenge wasn’t visual—it was conceptual. Panfactum is deeply technical, packed with open-source integrations, and unapologetically complex. Explaining what it does without overwhelming new visitors meant wrestling with layers of jargon, edge cases, and shifting product lines. And because their audience spanned everyone from hands-on platform engineers to non-technical execs, we had to craft a message that could land at multiple altitudes—without watering anything down.
Human & Organizational Challenges
The founder had a sharp vision and moved fast—which meant the ground was always shifting. The service model was still evolving mid-project, and with no internal design or content team, we were building from a blank slate. We had to move with precision, speed, and just enough structure to keep the momentum focused.
Discovery & Strategy
We kicked things off the way you have to with a product this deep—by diving in. We spent real time with the founder, unpacking the vision and mapping the strategic terrain. Competitor audits gave us the lay of the land; our job was to position Panfactum above the noise, not just next to it. What emerged was a clear, compelling point of view—and a plan to bring it to life.
Concept Development
We made the call early: this wouldn’t be another polite infrastructure site. The messaging got sharper, bolder, and more confident—anchored in a tone of voice system that flexed between engineers, founders, and tech executives. We reframed Panfactum as what it truly is: a category-defining platform, not just a toolkit. We clarified the relationship between the open-source framework and the expert services behind it. And we built a visual identity from the ground up—one that finally matched the depth and ambition of the product.
Design Execution
We built a design system that feels like the product: technical, confident, and crystal clear. Dark-mode by default, with clean modular sections and subtle gradients that echo the precision of platform engineering itself. Typography is utilitarian, layout is frictionless, and iconography is carefully curated to earn developer trust. We led with clarity—showing what Panfactum does, what it replaces, and why it matters, all within a scroll or two. The result is a brand that finally looks like what it builds: infrastructure that’s bold, reliable, and built to scale.
Build & Integration
We designed and built the site entirely in Framer, using AI to generate custom animations and functional components that brought the story to life. From interactive pricing tables to dynamic visual cues, we pushed Framer’s limits to match the ambition of the product. This was more than a static brochure—it was a living system, engineered for clarity and speed, and shipped with zero friction between design and deployment.
Collaboration & Workflow
We ran fast, tight sprints—one week at a time, from Figma concept to Framer build. Every detail ran through direct founder review, which kept momentum high and decision-making sharp. The feedback loops were short, the focus was intense, and the result was a site that shipped as fast as the product it represents.
The new site didn’t just look better—it worked better. It gave Panfactum a clear, confident brand that finally matched the caliber of its product. The pitch landed faster. The mission came through sharper. Early users, partners, and investors all saw the same thing: a platform that’s not only technically elite, but ready for the spotlight.
With launch momentum behind them and a stronger story out front, Panfactum is now positioned to lead—not just build—the next wave of platform engineering.
The future of cloud infrastructure got a voice—and it sounds like Panfactum.
More projects.
