Projects Behind the Nomination
ERA: Website Design for Luxury Real Estate With Immersive Technologies
ERA is a residential complex by a premium developer, where Art Deco architecture meets one of the best locations in the city. The question was how to convey this impression through the screen.
In order for the website to convey the atmosphere, rather than simply listing luxury advantages, we had to work hard on the strategy. The complex had to look exclusive, but not scare away the upper-middle-class audience.
One of the key decisions we made was to build an interactive 3D map of the area on WebGL in the center of the website. Not a diagram, but a live animated fragment of the city with landmarks and points of interest. This is extremely rare on real estate websites. The first screen features five layers of animated 3D models, glowing silhouettes of buildings that echo the slogan “Dawn of a New Era.” From the very first seconds, such techniques set the tone for a narrative that you want to immerse yourself in.
But it’s not just about special effects. Every element of the site, from the aesthetic web design to the parametric apartment selector, balances emotion and function. The experience is built on UX storytelling: narratives guide the user through the content in such a way that they don’t notice how deeply they are becoming involved.
ERA was a breakthrough for us in the design of luxury real estate websites — and one of the most striking examples of interactive web design in this category. Site of the Day at three festivals at once — Awwwards, CSSDA, and FWA. A triple crown we are truly proud of.
Silver Pinewood Residences: Elegant Web Design in the Style of Quiet Luxury
With Silver Pinewood, we had a different task. The concept of the project was quiet luxury, understated elegance without fanfare. It was a beautiful idea that required an equally beautiful visual embodiment.
We developed a web design strategy that transformed disparate visual materials into a cohesive storytelling experience. Pastel colors, layered compositions, and a gentle scrolling rhythm create a visual language that echoes the architectural geometry of the complex. This is elegant web design in its purest form: every detail supports the brand, nothing is superfluous.
We are particularly proud of the WebGL animation of the sculpture in the residence lobby. It is not just a beautiful 3D effect, but a metaphor: timeless aesthetics and confidence in interactive volume. Most importantly, it is optimized for smooth operation on any device. The entire experience of premium website design is built in such a way that a potential buyer should instinctively understand: if the website is made at this level, the product behind it is worth the price.
And it is precisely in this project that the branding of luxury real estate has been fully revealed — the website does not try to sell faster, it immerses you in the rhythm of the brand and leads you to a decision. Together with ERA, this project has cemented our reputation in the design of luxury real estate websites. Awwwards Site of the Day, CSSDA Website of the Day.

Madar: Website Design for a Startup With Global Ambitions
Madar is changing the rules of logistics in the Persian Gulf and preparing for international expansion. The product automates freight transportation for large businesses. The audience is conservative corporate clients. The brief required a world-class corporate website design that would explain a complex B2B product in a simple yet impressive way.
This is not an easy combination. We started with a series of workshops and in-depth market analysis, building a web design strategy where each element of the website is linked to a specific business goal.
The core of the website is 3D storytelling built around the concept of a journey. The journey is a graphic technique in animation, a metaphor for the key product—logistics—and the user’s route through the site from introduction to decision. Such an energetic and modern presentation required close collaboration between the creative and development teams. Next came a detailed product description, case studies, and a company page. The logic is simple: engage emotionally, convince with arguments.
There was little source branding material. We took the basic colors and motifs and built a complete visual system out of them — this is what website design for startups looks like when the client’s ambitions meet our attention to detail and craftsmanship.
The result: Site of the Day from Awwwards, CSSDA, and FWA. Proof that our approach as a branding agency for startups — a synthesis of strategy and beauty — helps new players compete with the biggest names.
Follow.art: Web Design for a Startup Changing the Art World
Follow.art is a project that started as an art marketplace and turned into something much more ambitious. The team consists of curators and artists who are tired of the closed nature of the art industry and the struggle with social media algorithms. Their goal is to create a space for direct contact and collaboration. Without unnecessary barriers.
Our expertise in web design for startups helped turn the initial idea into a clear vision. Follow.art is an example of how a well-thought-out website design strategy for a startup can cover the entire cycle: from brand strategy to the development of a complex digital product. We worked out the mission, values, unique proposition, and pain points of the target audience. This gave rise to a visual identity that is bright, rebellious, with expressive typography, 3D animation, and rich colors. The landing page is built on storytelling: complex brand ideas are conveyed in simple language.
But Follow.art is not just a promotional website. We have developed a full-fledged social network that has everything you need: a digital business card, a catalog of professionals with search and filters, collaboration functionality, and a platform blog. A holistic ecosystem that proves that the best web design company is not about beautiful websites and pictures, but about products that change the industry.
Our Approach: Why Strategy Comes First
Four completely different projects — luxury real estate, SaaS logistics, art networking. Different audiences, different tasks, different markets. But they have something in common: none of them started with design. They all started with strategy. This is perhaps what distinguishes the best web design agencies from simply good studios.
I often hear clients ask me to “make a beautiful website.” But there is no such thing as a universally beautiful website. Style, aesthetics, creativity — it all depends on the task and category. What people usually mean by beauty is the moment when the semantic, aesthetic, and creative components come together into a whole. When it is not a single element that impresses, but the elegance of thought, external form, and execution together. This effect is projected in the client’s mind onto the product or company, creating inspiration, trust, and a sense of value. At least, that’s how we at Vide Infra see our task — and that’s how a true digital brand experience works.
That’s why our process is structured in a certain way. Before the first mock-up, we conduct research: interviews with stakeholders, market analysis, brand workshops. First, the communication strategy and key brand advantage. Then design. WebGL, 3D animation, immersive storytelling — these are not decorations or an end in themselves. They are tools. When they serve the strategy, projects make it into lists of the most beautiful websites in the world. When they are used for effect — they don’t.
The result is work we are proud of. Projects receive awards not for visual noise, but for communicating, engaging, and delivering results to clients. This is our understanding of creative web design — and the reason why we are consistently included in lists of top web design agencies.Anton SulskyFounder and creative director of Vide Infra
What’s Next
The Awwwards nomination is confirmation of our position, not the finish line. Becoming Agency of the Year is a goal that every serious agency in our niche strives for.
In 2026, we are deepening our work in three areas where top-class design creates maximum value. The first is startups. The right website design for a startup determines whether the project will be noticed by users, investors, and partners — or remain just another landing page that will fade into obscurity. The second is the premium segment. Website design for luxury brands is not just a showcase, but an environment in which people can gauge the level of the company even before their first contact with the product. And if it’s e-commerce, the store should feel like a boutique: e-commerce design for luxury brands sells not a product, but an experience.
All three areas have one thing in common: here, the difference between good and outstanding must be visible to the naked eye, and this is where our approach works best.
