Understanding the Challenge

The project began with a focus on defining the goals for the HeroDevs website:

  • Educate Visitors: Clearly explain what HeroDevs does and the value of securing end-of-life (EOL) open-source software.
  • Build Credibility: Showcase partnerships, testimonials, and industry recognition to foster trust among developers, businesses, and open-source communities.
  • Simplify Navigation: Create a site structure that allows users to quickly find information on services, supported projects, and the company's unique offering of Never-Ending Support (NES).
  • Drive Conversions: Encourage users to learn more about specific packages, sign up for services, or get in touch via the call-to-action buttons placed across the site.

These objectives guided the design, content, and technical decisions throughout the project.

Research & Define

The website needed to cater to a highly specialized audience, which includes:

  • Developers and Engineers: Professionals who rely on open-source frameworks and tools and are concerned about the risks of EOL software.
  • IT Security Teams: Teams tasked with maintaining secure environments while managing legacy software in their infrastructure.
  • Business Decision Makers: Executives and managers looking for compliance-friendly, cost-effective solutions to mitigate risks without overhauling existing systems.

To address this diverse audience:

  • Technical Details: Presented information in a concise but informative manner to satisfy developers’ need for in-depth understanding.
  • Trust Elements: Added recognizable brand partnerships, certifications, and testimonials to appeal to business-oriented users.
  • Simplicity: Kept the navigation and CTAs straightforward to ensure all visitors could easily find the information they need.

Ideation, UserFlow & Sketch

A structured content plan was essential to communicate HeroDevs’ value effectively. Here’s how the content was organized:

  • Hero Section: The first impression of the site clearly states the core offering: "End-of-Life Open Source, Secured." This is paired with a subheading that elaborates on the benefits of vulnerability remediation, continuous compatibility, and security.
  • Trust Indicators: Partner logos and a section titled "Trusted By Global Leaders" establish immediate credibility, addressing visitor concerns about reliability.
  • Service Highlights:
    • Drop-In Replacements: Presented a detailed table showcasing supported software packages, making it easy for users to find their preferred solutions.
    • Never-Ending Support: This section focused on HeroDevs’ flagship offering, with a simple explanation of its value and benefits.
    • Vulnerability Remediation: Explained how HeroDevs addresses common pain points like outdated dependencies, adding a sense of proactive security.
  • Compliance and Security: Highlighted certifications and compliance features to appeal to enterprises bound by regulatory requirements.
  • Testimonials and Partnerships: Displayed client feedback and open-source partnerships to further instill trust and community credibility.
  • Latest News Section: Kept visitors updated on HeroDevs’ progress and recent innovations, signaling active engagement in the industry.

This structure ensured that visitors could quickly understand HeroDevs’ mission, explore its offerings, and take actionable steps, such as signing up or learning more.
