Tangence was involved in the complete design and development of the new website. The Tangence team created a clean and appealing design which allows easy navigation. Tangence was also involved in creating all the graphics and diagrams for the website that makes the content easier to follow and understand. A set of graphic icons were created for visual representation of the main solutions provided by the client.

Tangence has recently redesigned the home page for our client LucidEra (www.lucidera.com). The launch of the new design was a big success and the refurbish of the complete website was received very well. The redesign has lead to a fresher looking, visually appealing and a much more easily navigable website for LucidEra.
