As a creative <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/services\/web-development\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">web development agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we expect this year to be full of new fascinating web design trends and top-notch solutions, looking forward to implementing them in our work. And some of them are really impressive! The 80s \u2013 the decade of bold style and colors is back in the game, rising above the minimalist vision and transforming the designs into something adventurous and magnetic. That is because of the so-called retro revolution seeping into contemporary art and culture through cross-media channels.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that is how it all works \u2013 we remember the past and sometimes want it reborn to fill us with warm and sweet feelings when we feel lost. Here, we probably need to mention the COVID-19 pandemic, still fighting for its place in 2021, introducing new lockdowns, and barriers for businesses. However, such retrospection is a good practice as it inspires us to go further. And before we enter the new year, let\u2019s have a little retrospection of Ester\u2019s performance in 2021.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though this year we worked mostly remotely, that didn\u2019t prevent us from expanding to new international markets. So, now our company is presented in several countries, including the USA, UK, and Estonia. Given that, our professional crew doubled, enhancing the Ester team with new geniuses of web design and development. And you know what? That marked the boost in projects (obviously) and increased the number of our satisfied clients that continue to cooperate with us. Let\u2019s just say we did a great job.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with customers from different fields and industries, we significantly improved our expertise, moving far beyond the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020\u2019s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> list of achievements and bringing the best service possible. As if we were having that little magic bottle that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alice in Wonderland<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grew herself immensely with. Well, we did have one \u2013 but ssh, it\u2019s a secret. Our assembly of design directions has risen since we vastly broadened our design vision while sipping a magic elixir from inspiration, productivity, and improvement. The development team increased in number and handled the latest technologies. And that all allowed us to complete long-term projects successfully and solve the toughest tasks. In other words, we started growing, and the range of approaches our professionals used for bringing clients\u2019 ideas to life did the same. For that very reason, we can now pride ourselves on our massive 2021 projects that were many, by the way.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021, Ester Digital extended not only the range of services it provides but also the list of industries it deals with. We produced exciting designs and top-notch functionalities for the real estate industry, leaving our clients like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/works\/referral-exchange\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Referral Exchange<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/works\/listpix\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">List Pix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Title Genius<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fully satisfied with their new functionality assets and visual stories. Also, we deepen the stationery design skills with every project like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garrison<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/works\/historiart\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Historiart<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/works\/flowrepublic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FlowRepublic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bringing our printed material design to a new level. The digital sector didn\u2019t stay aside as well \u2013 we crafted brilliant corporate websites for companies like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/works\/pontemgroup\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pontem Group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/works\/certus-cybersecurity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/works\/rdv\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RDV<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brokeree<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important thing for us was the EDA <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">project<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is a non-profit organization committed to supporting sustainability and preserving vital resources by engaging in grassroots economic democracy. While working with it, we transmitted our social attitude and did our best to help the EDA team unleash their potential and involve more public in ecological issues. As a result, their new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/services\/corporate-websites-design\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with engaging design and polished functionality created the possibility of getting a government foundation and rising donations. And that is how we always work \u2013 everything and everyone is dedicated to bringing the best possible results every time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2021 has been not so far less tough than 2020, drifting in ongoing pandemic restrictions, it was vital for us to set up smooth and amiable communication with all concerned with our agency and content. That became rather a necessity than an option when our project&#8217;s geography expanded heavily, bringing clients from all over the world, including Europe, the USA, Australia, and Africa. And our marketing team beat that gap successfully.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being prolific experts in marketing trends, the department vastly expanded our digital presence. It may seem a brash self-advertisement here, but believe us \u2013 we are what we\u2019re saying. And if you want to make sure it is true, just check out our versatile-about-everything <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blog<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We wrote articles about web <a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/blog\/digital-design-trends-in-2021\">design trends<\/a> to social media branding, added a bit of pepper with exploring the technical side with articles about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/services\/laravel-consulting\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laravel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/services\/reactjs-development\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">React JS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, helped to conquer discrepancies between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UI and UX<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concepts, honed web designing skills in brilliant <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how-to-guides<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and even reflected on the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">psychology of web design<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And that all reinforced the relationships with the outer world that turned its back at times (bet we all can name a few of the \u201cbest\u201d back views, right?).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting the comedy, 2021 has been vast \u2013 sometimes enjoyable and gracious, sometimes \u2013 painful and heartbreaking. But isn\u2019t it the two sides of the coin that cannot be separated? We believe that the most important thing here is to stay true to everything you do, which Ester always manages. With everything that has happened, we are still here and can&#8217;t wait to see you in <a href=\"https:\/\/ester.co\/blog\/ester-digital-2022-recap\">2022<\/a>, continuing to impress you with our new exciting insights and stunning projects.
