Refund-advocacy platform that reclaims capital from major retailers — a trust-first marketing site, a 10-stage order flow, and a full admin command center, unified under one emerald-to-cyan identity.
SettleSmart helps shoppers reclaim up to 80% of their spend from major retailers — keeping the items, recovering the capital. But a service that sounds too good to be true has one enemy: doubt. The brand needed a public site that reads as legitimate and safe on first glance, a member flow that explains a complex claims process without overwhelming, and an internal dashboard to run the whole operation — stores, vouches, and live updates — from one place.
We built a trust-first fintech identity: a bright, airy interface where a single emerald-to-cyan gradient carries every signal — verified badges, performance-based promises, and 'you don't pay until you're refunded' messaging front and center. Rounded geometric type keeps it friendly, a particle-dotted hero adds motion, and a 10-stage order timeline turns a technical claims process into a clear path. Behind it, a dark-navy command center manages stores, vouches, and news in real time.
Use the player to preview the interaction, motion language, and final product flow directly inside the case study.

All project visuals are now grouped by folder and rendered directly from the live project media archive.
From the first wireframe to the final deployment, every piece was crafted in-house by one coordinated team — so nothing fell through the gaps.
A light editorial system where an emerald-to-cyan gradient, verified badges, and zero-risk copy make a money-back service feel legitimate at a glance.
An alternating vertical timeline that walks members from profile setup to funds approval, turning a complex claims process into a clear, confident path.
A full dark-mode dashboard to manage stores, vouches, and live updates with search, filters, verified counts, and total-value analytics.


Within 60 days of launch, the impact was undeniable.
Every visual decision — from the mark to the motion — designed to feel inevitable.

They made a service people are skeptical of feel completely trustworthy. The site converts, the dashboard runs our whole operation, and every screen reinforces our authority.
