Symbiomech Industries
Symbiomech Industries is a startup company in Massachusetts that makes modular robotic systems, and I designed and developed its website.
The Symbiomech Industries website has six major sections:
- Hardware – Users can browse an online store for Symbiomech’s robot products and purchase them.
- Software – Users can browse for and download robotics programs.
- Services – Users can read about Symbiomech’s services and apply for them.
- Reference – Users can learn how to operate their robots.
- Company – Users can read about Symbiomech, its business goals, and its blog posts, as well as contact the company.
- Forums – Users can discuss and collaborate with each other on their robot projects. Currently the forums section doesn’t exist on the website, but it’s planned for development later.
Web Design
Symbiomech is initially focusing its products and services on the healthcare industry, so I made the website’s design sleek and clean like a hospital’s interior. I chose teal as the main accent color of the website to allude to the color of some hospital staff uniforms.
Symbiomech’s central product is a robotic unit named Cerebrum. The shape of the Cerebrum unit is hexagonal, and so on various elements of the website’s design, I used diagonal sides to allude to that.
E-Commerce
The Symbiomech website has an online store containing both shippable hardware and downloadable software. The store has categories and filters that allows shoppers to sort through the types of products. Customers are able to leave ratings and reviews on the pages of software products.
Logo Design
I designed the Symbiomech Industries logo, which is an abstract human hand with a gear as the palm. The hand and the gear appearing merged together symbolizes the company’s philosophy that there should be a harmonious, symbiotic relationship between humans (represented by the hand) and machines (represented by the gear).
I also designed the logo for Symbiomech’s flagship product, Cerebrum. The logo is the word “CEREBRUM” coming out of a large letter C that’s shaped like a hexagon, alluding to the Cerebrum robot’s hexagonal shape.
Responsive-Width Layout
Because the Symbiomech website is expected to be frequently viewed on mobile devices as well as large computer monitors, I developed the website’s layout to responsively adapt to any size screen it’s displayed on.
WordPress Integration
I integrated the Symbiomech website with WordPress, which is a content management system that provides an easy-to-use interface that allows the staff of Symbiomech to quickly edit pages’ content, add new products to the online store, manage customers’ orders, write new blog posts, and more. The e-commerce functionality comes from the WooCommerce plugin.
Client's Testimonial
Damian did an amazing job of making our company’s vision of website presence come to life. Every time we had an idea, he found a way to implement it in a user-friendly and aesthetic manner. We couldn’t be happier with the site and Damian’s excellent work.

The company Symbiomech Industries is undergoing major changes in its business operations and has taken down its website indefinitely. I’ve set up a demonstration version of the website that you can browse in the meantime.
