The project focuses on making Karat's hiring services easier to understand and navigate. Baunfire used human-centered UX design, accessible visuals, responsive layouts, and subtle animations to give the website a distinct visual identity and help visitors find relevant services.
The website organizes Karat's three offerings:
- Karat Qualify
- Karat Interview
- Hiring Insights, along the stages of a hiring funnel.
A switchable solutions panel lets visitors browse different hiring needs without moving between separate pages. The design also uses a restrained palette of blue, teal, and white, with yellow and pink accents to draw attention to selected services.
"The goal was to make Karat's services easy to understand while giving the brand a clear, approachable digital presence. We organized the website around the hiring journey, helping visitors find the solutions most relevant to their needs. Being named a DesignRush Awards finalist is welcome recognition of the work our team put into the project," said Catherine Erath, Director of Creative at Baunfire.
