The site caught up with the company, one page at a time.

TLDR Mindsay's site had aged, and rebuilding it was ruled out from the start. Heka took the pages one at a time instead, building each from the team's Figma designs and putting it live while the next one was being prepared. Over roughly eighteen months the site was modernised page by page, with the old foundations left where they were and the site never taken down.

Overview

Mindsay built conversational AI for customer service teams, with a site addressing several industries at once, travel, banking and professional services among them. Its website already existed and looked respectable, but it had aged and its underlying structure had not been built to be extended. Rather than rebuild, Mindsay chose to modernise it in place. Heka handled the Webflow side for around eighteen months, taking the pages one at a time from the designs produced by Mindsay's internal design team and an external freelance designer. When Laiye acquired Mindsay, it kept the Webflow system already running there and asked Heka to rebuild its own international site, which became a separate project.

Context

The site still looked the part, and had stopped keeping up.

Mindsay was selling conversational AI to customer service teams across several industries, and its website carried the whole offer: an industry page for travel, one for banking, one for professional services, a demo page, a free trial onboarding sequence. The site worked and looked acceptable, but it had started to date, and the company wanted it brought back in line with where the product had got to.

Problem

The obvious fix was a rebuild, and a rebuild was out.

Under the surface, the site had not been built to be worked on. Classes were inconsistently named, with no convention holding them together, so every change cost more than it should have. Repairing that was ruled out at kickoff and stayed ruled out: it would have meant stopping a site the marketing team was actively selling from, on a timeline nobody had agreed to, for a benefit no visitor would ever see. So the work had to happen on top of foundations that could not be touched, without pausing the site and without waiting for a full redesign to be ready.

Objectives

Modernise the surface, leave the foundations alone.

Bring the site back up to date

New pages where the offer had moved on, rebuilt pages where the old ones had aged.

Leave the existing architecture in place

Restructuring was excluded from scope at kickoff, by agreement, and stayed excluded.

Advance at the marketing team's pace

Page by page, each one usable as soon as it shipped, with no moment where the site was unavailable.
Solution

Figma to Webflow, one page at a time.

Each page treated as its own project

Quoted, built and shipped independently, so the series could stop, resume or reorder without anything being left half-done. The Malt record shows the shape plainly: customer pages, banking, travel, professional services, demo pages, a new home page, a free trial onboarding page, each one a separate job.

Built from the client's Figma files

Designs came from Mindsay's internal design team working with an external freelance designer. Heka built them in Webflow and reviewed each staging version with the team on MarkUp.

Working inside the existing class system

Existing classes reused wherever they could carry the new design, with a small set of custom ones added only where they could not. Fast to build on, and it left the foundations exactly as they were found.

The features each page needed

Search, sorting and filtering, a video popup on the home page, a thank-you page built as a CMS collection template so it could be reused rather than duplicated.

Weglot for the multilingual version

Plus dedicated performance work on the site, first a holding fix and then a full one.

Outcome

The site was modernised in Webflow without ever being taken down.

The site got current without a rebuild. Page after page, the parts visitors saw were brought up to date while the architecture underneath stayed where it was, which is what Mindsay had asked for and what a full redesign would have cost it.

Nothing was ever offline waiting for the next thing. Each page went live and was used the moment it was ready, while the following one was still being prepared. The marketing team never had to sell from a site that was mid-renovation.

The order of the work was Mindsay's to set. Because the pages were independent, the sequence followed marketing priorities rather than a build plan, and pages could be added or deferred as the offer moved.

Spend stayed a page-by-page decision. Each page was quoted and delivered on its own, so the company committed in increments it chose rather than to a single redesign budget agreed up front.
