Background of Mapletree Media
For more than 15 years, Mapletree Media has been marrying digital technologies with content to produce cutting edge digital assets for over 1000 clients across various verticals in the South East Asian markets.
We are also media owners of the largest beauty media platform in Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines, under the umbrella of the Beauty Insider Brand.
Our site https://mapletreemedia.com/ aims to provide digital strategies, where our values focus on trust, building reputations & relationships.
Our Customer
Our customers are typically marketing managers and owners of businesses. They are busy individuals who need to find a trusted partner with a strong record and is transparent in the work it does. All this must be seen at one glance from the website.
We believe that our site marries all these core values both in the form of styling and substance.
Design Rationale
Anchoring the design of the site are the main colours of the Mapletree Media branding. The use of styled and bold images are suggested to maintain a lively and hip feel. We also made effective use of parallax banners (sliding/animated) to complement the site’s modern and sleek theme that aims to exude a minimal and direct-to-point UX.
Here are some pages that showcase this:

The use of bold modern sans serif typeface subscribes to the serious and authoritative look, the brand aims for. Using the same regular sans serif typeface (body text) completes the look and provides contrast, too.
Mapletree Media’s brand colours subscribe to a modern aesthetic feel that is both serious but approachable. Complementing them are purples/pinks that are used wisely in secondary copies/text.
