Website as a
Guided Funnel
The website must move visitors psychologically toward action. Every section has a strategic purpose in the conversion sequence.
First Impression
Visitor arrives from search, referral, or social. The hero must communicate authority, energy, and relevance within 3 seconds.
Positioning
WATB's belief system and unique approach become clear. Visitor understands this is not a generic agency -- it's a creator-first strategic partner.
Case Studies & Results
Structured campaigns with objectives, strategies, creator selection, platforms, and measurable outcomes build rational conviction.
Creator Ecosystem
Organized, categorized, platform-tagged talent grid demonstrates scale, diversity, and the strength of WATB's network.

Homepage Strategy
Homepage
Structural Logic
Every section has a job. Nothing decorative, everything strategic. Here is the complete homepage architecture:
Hero
Authority & Clarity
Full-viewport cinematic hero with video background or dynamic imagery. Bold serif headline, clear value proposition, and dual CTAs (For Brands / For Creators). Instant positioning -- visitors know exactly what WATB does and why they're the best within 3 seconds.
Belief
Differentiation
"Creators build culture. Experiences build memory." -- presented with editorial typography and generous whitespace. This isn't a mission statement -- it's a manifesto. Sets WATB apart from transactional agencies by leading with philosophy.
Services
Value Proposition
Three pillars -- Influencer & Affiliate Marketing, Talent Management, Creator-Led Events -- each with expandable descriptions, visual icons, and clear outcomes. Progressive disclosure prevents overwhelm while rewarding curiosity.
Work
Proof
Featured case studies with hero imagery, campaign title, brand logos, and key metrics visible at a glance. Each card links to a deep-dive case study page. This is where credibility transforms from claimed to demonstrated.
Talent
Creators-First Positioning
Category-organized creator grid showcasing the depth and diversity of WATB's network. Categories: Founders & Entrepreneurs, Beauty, Fashion, Health & Wellness, Food & Drink, Travel, Family & Empowerment, Sports & Fitness, Lifestyle. Each tile shows a creator with platform badges and follower counts.
Process
System Credibility
Step-by-step visual process flow showing how WATB operates from initial brief through strategy, creator matching, production, launch, and reporting. Removes the "black box" fear that makes prospects hesitate.
Partners
Trust Reinforcement
Logo wall featuring 40+ enterprise brands: Samsung, BMW, Dettol, Carolina Herrera, iHerb, Foreo, Costa, and more. This is pure social proof -- the logos speak louder than any copywriting could.
CTA
Conversion
Full-width conversion section with segmented paths. "For Brands -- Looking to build through creators and experiences" with brief form. "For Creators -- Looking for representation, campaigns, or growth support" with application form. Each path captures the right information for the right audience.
Case Study Framework
Structured Proof
Presentation
Instead of just showing visuals, each case study becomes a strategic narrative.
This shifts perception from \"agency that posts content\" to \"strategic partner that drives business results.\"
Objective
What was the brand trying to achieve? Growth, awareness, launch, repositioning? Every case study starts with the business problem.
Example
"Launch a new skincare line to 500K+ UAE women aged 22-35 through creator-led content."
Strategy
How did WATB approach the challenge? What was the creative and distribution strategy? This is where WATB's strategic thinking becomes visible.
Example
"3-phase rollout: teaser seeding with micro-creators, hero launch with macro talent, sustained UGC wave for social proof."
Creator Selection Rationale
Why were specific creators chosen? What was the matching logic? This demonstrates the depth of WATB's approach vs. random influencer selection.
Example
"12 creators selected across beauty, lifestyle, and motherhood verticals -- matched by audience demographics, engagement quality, and brand affinity."
Platforms Used
Where was the campaign deployed and why? Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Stories? Platform strategy shows media sophistication.
Example
"Primary: Instagram Reels (discovery). Secondary: TikTok (virality). Tertiary: YouTube Shorts (longevity)."
Outcome Metrics
Hard numbers. Views, engagement rates, click-through rates, conversions, ROAS. Quantified results that enterprise clients need to justify budgets.
Example
"47M total views, 3.2M engagements, 12.4% avg engagement rate, 340% ROAS across 6-week campaign."
Visual Gallery
High-quality screenshots, video thumbnails, and campaign creative that brings the story to life. The visual evidence that makes the case study shareable.
Example
"Grid of top-performing creator content with view counts, brand integration shots, and behind-the-scenes imagery."
Talent System Strategy
Creators-First
Infrastructure
Current vs. Upgrade
| Current State | Upgraded System | |
|---|---|---|
| Visual showcase only | Structured ecosystem with data | |
| No category filtering | Category tagging by vertical | |
| No platform information | Platform icons with follower data | |
| No niche context | Niche labeling and content style | |
| Static presentation | Interactive, filterable grid | |
| No future scalability | Portal-ready architecture for Phase 2 |

"UGC Agency Middle East" -- emerging search trend
"Event Marketing Dubai" -- experience vertical

Long-tail variants for each service and category page

Technical Architecture
Scalable Build
Infrastructure
This ensures expansion to portal without rebuilding the website. The technical decisions made now determine the cost and speed of every future feature.
Next.js Framework
Built on Next.js via v0.dev -- the same technology powering Netflix, Nike, TikTok, and Vercel. Server-side rendering for SEO, edge deployment for speed, and React component architecture for maintainability.
Component-Based Structure
Every section, card, form, and interaction is a reusable component. This modular approach means future pages can be assembled from existing building blocks in hours, not weeks.
Modular Page System
Pages are composed of interchangeable sections. Need a new service page? Combine Hero + ServiceDetail + CaseStudyGrid + CTA. The system grows with WATB's needs.
Future Database Integration
The architecture is designed to connect to a database when Phase 2 launches. Creator profiles, campaign data, client records -- all ready to be powered by real-time data instead of static content.
Edge Deployment
Deployed on Vercel's global edge network. Content is served from the closest data center to UAE visitors -- ensuring sub-second load times and exceptional Core Web Vitals scores.
Performance First
Image optimization, lazy loading, code splitting, and minimal JavaScript ensure the site loads instantly on any device. Performance isn't an afterthought -- it's built into the architecture.
Phase 2 Roadmap
Platform
Expansion
This transitions WATB from agency
to platform ecosystem.
Client Login Portal
Branded dashboard where clients can view active campaigns, approve content, track performance metrics, and manage briefs. Transforms client communication from email chains to organized workflow.

Self-service creator application with profile building, media kit upload, rate card submission, and category tagging. Scales WATB's talent acquisition without proportional team growth.
Campaign Booking Workflow
End-to-end campaign management from brief submission through creator matching, content approval, scheduling, and delivery. Every step tracked, timestamped, and accountable.
Admin Dashboard
Internal command center for the WATB team. Campaign pipeline views, creator roster management, client relationship tracking, and revenue analytics -- all in one unified interface.

Investment Level

Essential
Core Redesign
Everything you need to launch a polished, professional website that represents WATB at the level your clients and creators expect.
Premium
Full Strategic Upgrade
The complete package. Cinematic motion, intelligent architecture, advanced SEO, and Phase 2 readiness. Built to convert, built to scale.
At a Glance
A quick comparison to help you decide which option aligns with your goals.
Payment Terms
50% Upfront / 50% On Delivery
50% of the total project fee is due upon agreement to begin work. The remaining 50% is due upon final delivery and handoff.
Strategic Impact
Post-Launch
Impact
After Phase 1 launches, these are the tangible outcomes WATB will experience:
Stronger Brand Authority
A premium digital presence that positions WATB as the undisputed leader in UAE influencer marketing. First impressions will command respect and communicate scale.
Higher Trust from Enterprise Clients
Structured case studies, visible talent ecosystem, and professional design language will give enterprise decision-makers the confidence to engage without hesitation.
Clearer Differentiation
A unique visual and narrative identity that separates WATB from every other agency in the region. Not just different -- distinctly better in every measurable way.
Improved Conversion Rate
Strategic user journey architecture means more visitors become inquiries. Segmented paths ensure the right leads reach the right team with the right context.
Foundation for Platform Transition
The modular, component-based architecture means Phase 2 -- client portals, creator onboarding, campaign tools -- builds on what exists rather than requiring a rebuild.
Why Now
Timing
Matters
UAE influencer market is competitive
New agencies launch every month with premium digital experiences. The longer WATB operates with an underperforming website, the wider the perception gap grows against competitors who are investing in their digital presence today.
Digital perception influences credibility
Enterprise clients Google your agency before responding to any pitch. A website that doesn't match WATB's actual quality of work creates doubt at the moment it matters most -- the first impression.
Platform vision requires infrastructure
Phase 2 -- client portals, creator onboarding, campaign tools -- cannot be built on the current foundation. Every month of delay on Phase 1 pushes the platform vision further into the future.
SEO takes time -- early start matters
Search engine authority is earned over months, not days. A 6-month delay in launching proper SEO architecture means 6 months of lost organic traffic, compound visibility, and market share handed to competitors.
Let's Build
Something Unforgettable.
This proposal is the beginning of a partnership. We are ready when you are.
