The Redesign Brief

Linkster needed a modern homepage that would stand out in the crowded influencer marketing space. The existing site needed a refresh with better performance, cleaner design, and improved SEO to rank for competitive keywords.

"Influencer marketing is a competitive SaaS space. First impressions matter. The homepage needed to communicate value instantly while loading fast and ranking well."

$ ./project-overview

Linkster is an influencer marketing platform connecting brands with creators. As a freelance project, I redesigned their homepage from scratch using Astro 4.x and Tailwind CSS. The site served as a temporary solution until their new marketing funnel was ready.

Project Outcomes

<2s

Modern, performant homepage that loads in under 2 seconds and scores well on Core Web Vitals.

Maintainable

Clean codebase with Astro components that the team can maintain and extend.

What I Learned

Astro is excellent for marketing sites. Static generation with islands architecture gives you the best of both worlds.

Client projects require clear communication. Regular demos and feedback loops kept everyone aligned.

SEO isn't an afterthought. Building it in from the start saves rework later.
