Kodo website

The marketing site for Kodo, a B2B platform that turns the data two business partners share into one health score, hidden revenue and early warnings. I was Head of UX at Kodo, and building the product was my main focus. Alongside it, I designed the landing page that went live in 2023: the layout, the illustrations and the product visuals that explain what the platform does.

The brief

Kodo gives companies that sell through each other one shared view of their data: how healthy the partnership is, where revenue is slipping through, which risks are building up, and what to do next. It was a new kind of tool, neither a BI dashboard nor a CRM, so the site had to explain the idea before it could sell it.

The page leads with one promise and two ways in, start free or book a demo, then walks through the platform one feature at a time and ends on how easy it is to get started.

Showing the product without real data

We couldn't use screenshots, because every screen in Kodo showed real customer data. Instead, I drew stylized versions of the product from scratch, based on the patterns I had designed for the platform itself: the health-score gauge, scores per area, alerts, suggested tasks and partner chat. The numbers are made up but plausible, grey bars stand in wherever real names or figures would have been, and a soft shape in the brand colors behind each card carries the palette down the page.

Partnership Health Status card: a gauge at 74 out of 100, status good, up 12 points against the 30-day average
Partnership health score
Opportunities for mutual growth over time: a stacked area chart above four counts of inventory IDs, such as 51,923 inconsumable by buyer
Hidden opportunities
Uncovered operational risks over time: a line chart with a tooltip showing 1,456,234 dollars of turnover under risk on March 15, 2023
Risk over time
Three overlapping score cards: operational risk 65, turnover 82 and inventory sync 78 out of 100, with an urgent alert
Scores per area
Stacked suggestion cards: items missing from your subset, share of itinerary sold, with Create task, Set as goal and Open chat buttons
Suggested actions
Urgent alert card: transactions deviated from the expected value by 21.4 percent, a possible mutual turnover loss of 2,982,678
Urgent alert
Partner chat: three messages from two companies, drawn as colored avatars and grey text bars, with a message composer

Illustrations: stock, made to fit

The people and the puzzle blocks started as stock illustrations. I recolored them to Kodo's palette, redrew lines in Illustrator where a hand or a pose had to land somewhere else, and put them together into new scenes, like the hero's partners building one structure out of their data.

Section: Welcome to the future of work, not just another BI or CRM platform, with three illustrations for unified partnerships, collaborative goal-setting and relationship health tracking
What Kodo is: three ideas, one scene each.

Proof and the last call

A customer's words break up the feature list, and the page closes by restating the problem in one sentence before offering both ways in one last time.

Closing: the problem in one sentence, then both calls to action.

Outcome

The page went live on Kodo's site in 2023. Because I was designing the product at the same time, the site could show the platform as it really worked, down to the patterns, without showing a single customer's data.
