problem

ValueMomentum's long-term client, ERIE, was visiting Hyderabad to celebrate 21 years of partnership. The host team needed a way to manage a dynamic 4-day schedule — itineraries, contacts, documents, and city guides — all in one place.

solution

A password-protected microsite that acted as a single digital hub for the entire visit. One place for itineraries, host contacts, city guides, resources, and the story of a 21-year partnership — secure, mobile-optimized, and on-brand.

The proposal came from us.

During the discovery call, it became clear that the client hadn't considered a dedicated website. They were leaning on Google Calendar and email chains. We saw an opportunity — a microsite that could do everything they needed and feel premium while doing it. They agreed.



Setting the Foundation

I was handed the website with an existing brand system — logo, colour palette, typography — all carried over from previous events. Consistency was built in from day one.


Mapping the Experience

After research and brainstorming, I mapped out six pages: —

  1. Home: Set the tone, tell the story

  2. Itinerary: The core utility of the site

  3. Hosts: Point-of-contact directory so ERIE guests always knew who to reach

  4. Experience VM: ValueMomentum's story

  5. Experience India: City guide for first-time visitors to Hyderabad

  6. Resources: Documents, videos, and a full "About India" guide

Security was non-negotiable. The site was password-protected — accessible only to the host team, developers, and ERIE attendees.


Design Decisions

Inherited the existing brand and extended it across all six pages. The visual language had to feel premium and celebratory — this was a 21-year anniversary.

Key pivot: started desktop-first, switched to mobile-first early. ERIE guests would be navigating Hyderabad from their phones.


Building & Delivering

Worked alongside our development partner who handled the WordPress backend. I owned the Figma design, Elementor layouts, media optimisation, and all live content updates.

The itinerary plugin was a smart call — it made dynamic updates fast without touching code. Both the itinerary and host directory changed multiple times before the event started.


The Impact

The event was a success. The experience felt cohesive — website, branding, and assets all told one story.

ERIE members had one destination for everything — schedule, contacts, city guide, resources. No email chains. No confusion.

The idea was ours. The client didn't ask for a website — we proposed it, designed it, and delivered it in 14 days.

The site was password-protected from day one.  Only authorised attendees, the host team, and  developers had access — keeping sensitive  itineraries and executive contacts completely  private.
