Palantir is a software company specializing in data analytics and integrations, offering platforms for large-scale data management. When Palantir approached Fictive Kin to redesign their website and improve the UX, the results spoke for themselves: a 123% increase in time-on-page, a 94% jump in mobile traffic, and a 1000% increase in high-quality leads.
We reworked the entire website architecture, from UX and design to engineering, simplifying the layout while incorporating motion to enhance the experience. Motion played a central role in the project, with a focus on microinteractions and functional animations to support a more dynamic, engaging user journey.
