From a no-code website to a production-grade AI platform

SecureIVAI helps small and medium-sized businesses adopt artificial intelligence safely, covering AI consulting, ISO 42001 compliance, LLM security testing, and custom AI solutions. The original website was built on a no-code platform with no consistent visual identity and no backend capabilities. I was brought in to rebuild everything: logo, brand system, full UI/UX redesign, and a custom full-stack platform deployed to AWS.

What was broken

The old site was built on a no-code platform with no shared design language, wrong brand tone, and zero conversion features.

Slow page load

The no-code platform loaded heavy third-party scripts, bloated CSS, and unoptimized assets out of the box, hurting performance, SEO rankings, and first impression for every visitor.

Wrong brand signal

Olive gradient backgrounds and heavy newspaper serif fonts communicated finance or editorial, not AI or security.

No logo system

The stacked "IVAI" typographic mark was unmemorable and had no logomark, no brand rules, no visual consistency.

Dead whitespace

ISO 42001 and About pages had massive blank sections. Half the page was empty with no content or design intent.

No design system

Colors, spacing, and type were applied randomly page to page with no shared palette or component logic.

No clear CTAs

Users landed with no obvious next step. No booking flow, no lead capture, no conversion path.

No backend

No lead management, no admin dashboard, no email automation. The appointment booking relied on an embedded Acuity Scheduling widget that was unreliable and difficult to integrate, breaking the client's main conversion point. I replaced it entirely with Cal.com, which embedded cleanly and worked on day one.

What made this project hard

Vite MPA configuration

Setting up Vite as a multi-page application with SSI includes, PWA injection, and proper build output for each route required significant config work, especially getting the service worker to cache the right pages without breaking dynamic content.

Offline support & auto-update

Implementing a reliable offline experience while ensuring users always got the latest version on reconnect was tricky. The service worker needed precise cache invalidation logic to avoid serving stale builds silently.

Design consistency at scale

Maintaining visual consistency across 6+ pages, each with different content types, layouts, and section lengths, required strict discipline on spacing, type scale, and component reuse with no design system shortcuts.

Communicating AI compliance to SMBs

ISO 42001, LLM security testing, and AI governance are complex topics. The content strategy challenge was making these feel accessible and urgent to non-technical small business owners without dumbing them down.

How the project unfolded

01. Discovery

Audited the existing site, identified brand gaps, mapped the target audience (SMB decision-makers), and defined the content architecture and conversion goals.

02. Brand Design

Designed the new logo system from scratch, constructing the IVAI lettermark from a 4-pointed star, then built the full brand guidelines: colors, typography, digital showcases, and corporate identity.

03. UI/UX Design

Designed all pages in Figma with the new design system: dark theme, teal accent, consistent components, clear CTAs, and a pricing structure that moves visitors toward consultation.

04. Development & Deploy

Built the full-stack platform with Vite, Node.js, and Express. Replaced Acuity with Cal.com, implemented the admin dashboard, email automation, PWA support, and deployed to AWS in production.

A complete brand built for trust in AI

The rebrand needed to communicate security, intelligence, and forward motion. The result is a fully documented brand system: logomark, color palette, typography, digital showcases, and corporate identity.

Brand guidelines: logo concept, key elements, digital showcases, corporate identity & merchandise

Logo Concept

The logomark starts from a single 4-pointed star. Each point geometrically derives one letter: I, V, A, I. A lock shape embedded in the star nods to security. The teal sparkle accent dots tie the mark back to AI and intelligence. The result is a lettermark that looks like a symbol, not a word.

Color System

Cyan primary on dark backgrounds signals innovation and precision. Dark teal secondary provides depth and hierarchy, distinct from generic enterprise blues.

Typography

Inter Tight for headings, compact and authoritative at display sizes. Inter for body copy, clean and readable. Both replace the inappropriate editorial serif.

What the client said

"

Working with Safa was one of the best decisions we made for SecureIVAI. She rebuilt our entire platform from scratch (brand, design, and backend) and delivered something we're genuinely proud to show clients. Professional, fast, and she understood exactly what an AI security company needs to communicate.
