FMQ PRIDE

FMQ (Fabamaq) is a software house within Porto’s (Portugal) technology hub that strives to develop competitive casino products for the land-based and online gaming markets. At FMQ, the focus is on their people - the gamers - having this in mind, and as one of their UX/UI designers, in this case study we will be going through the process of designing a landing page to celebrate Pride Month within Porto’s and FMQ’s context.

Overview: Based on FMQ’s corporate identity and values, we designed a simple landing page that shows the company’s commitment to LGBTQIA+ causes, providing the tools to keep the conversation going.

Project background: Although the Portuguese government has been trying to educate society on inclusivity, issues must be addressed publicly. FMQ being in the tech industry, can easily be a channel for its employees to spread awareness and foster a supportive environment. This landing page aims to be a platform to engage employees in a meaningful way. 

Case study: Our process included interviews, competitive analysis, paper and digital wireframing, high-fidelity prototyping, and accounting for accessibility.

Disclaimer: Our prototype showcases a Macbook Pro 14”, so please be mindful of it when you access it, you might need to use Figma’s options of fitting the preview for a better experience.

Love how you approached the problem definition and went through the stages of the design process, case study feels well thought through and complete. As for improvement opportunities — I'd suggest experimenting with typography (both font selection and pairing), lowering visual load, and using white space more generously.


Thank you for your work! Firstly, I learned a lot about the history of gay rights in Portugal. It was a beautiful but challenging journey, and you've presented it wonderfully through the timeline. Adding a calendar of events dedicated to the topic and the option to take the discussion to Discord is a fantastic idea. It really fosters communication and helps people connect and feel less alone.

The inclusion of motion graphics is spot-on. They're cute, not annoying or disruptive. Additionally, I must commend you on the microcopy – it's very thoughtful and perfectly tailored to the actions and the brand. The tone and choice of words are simple yet effective, striking the right balance without being overly simplistic.


First of all, great job on your efforts to create an inclusive landing page! Here are some observations and suggestions to further enhance the effectiveness of your design:

  • The landing page appears cluttered with numerous small details, disrupting the unity of the design. Simplify the layout by reducing the number of visual elements. Group related items together and use whitespace strategically to create a more organized and calming experience.
  • There is a need for improved consistency across various design elements. Develop a style guide or design system to maintain consistency. This should include guidelines for typography, color schemes, button styles, and iconography. Use consistent spacing and alignment rules to ensure a cohesive look and feel.
  • Small text on colored backgrounds may be hard to read, posing accessibility issues. Ensure all text meets accessibility standards for contrast and readability. Use tools like the WebAIM Contrast Checker to verify sufficient contrast between text and background colors. Increase font sizes for better readability and ensure text is easily legible on all backgrounds.

 Remember, a well-designed UI not only looks good but also enhances the overall user experience by being intuitive and easy to navigate. Keep up the great work!


The design looks spacious and functional.

The work on animation and details is especially noteworthy – it's great.

One point I don't understand is why animation is needed for the hover effect on the story cards, as they don't lead anywhere and can be confusing.

Thank you for reviewing my landing page! :) Yes, you are right about the card slider behavior, I've now changed it. I wanted to have an action happen but I was so worried about submitting the project in time that I eventually didn't do it. So thank you for your head's up!

Wow, the FMQ Pride landing page you've designed is truly impressive!

The captivating animation draws you in and makes you want to keep exploring the page.

Bringing Pride Celebration to Life Through Immersive Design

FMQ has truly outdone itself with this Pride Month landing page.

The moment you land on the page, you're greeted by a vibrant, motion-filled design that immediately immerses you in the celebratory spirit of Pride.

The use of animation is particularly noteworthy - it seamlessly guides users through the different sections, creating a sense of wonder and discovery. From the cascading Pride flags to the dynamic product displays, every element has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a delightful and memorable user experience.

Overall, the FMQ Pride landing page is a shining example of how design can be leveraged to create a truly impactful and immersive experience. The team has set a new benchmark for Pride-themed campaigns, seamlessly blending aesthetics, functionality, and social impact to deliver a truly remarkable digital experience

Thank you Yuliya for your feedback and precious time to review my landing page. :)

Overall, it looks good, but the visual design could be improved.

Thank you for taking the time to review my landing page, Aparna. :)

I like the vibrant and bold colors. The case study nicely defines the goal and research findings which is also helpful.

Few things that caught my attention and suggestion to help you improve:

  • Animations: I like the use of animations on the page, it makes it more engaging and gives a personality to the work. But if they're not smooth then they can feel off as well. For example: The animation with the Title of the hero section- "Pride in inclusivity", it first moves the words up and then it reverts back to the first word to repeat the loop. Ideally, after the word "proximity" the flow should have remained the same i.e the word "proximity" should have moved up and "inclusivity" should have come up from below.
  • When I hover over the blank spaces in the calendar under Sun, Mon, Tue etc the numbers appear.
  • Content hierarchy and information architecture: In a lot of places the spacing, and font sizes feel off. For example: The heading "Commitment and proximity have been key values"... doesn't look like a heading. The entire section feels cramped and can use some breathing space between the elements. The images are too big compared to other elements in the section. A little spacing and fixing the sizes can improve the section a lot. I can understand that you're trying to follow the FMQ's corporate identity but then you should stick to it throughout the page and have it completely on brand. Currently, it looks off considering the rest of the page.
  • Similarly, the "Discord community" section can be improved by reducing the size of some the elements. Also, the colored blobs were sort of distracting and my focus was not going a lot onto the content.
  • The cards: When I first looked at the cards in the "Portugal in Pride" section it felt as if they were missing something. If hovering on the cards just shows the images and the description then I think that should be the default state and the cards can be designed so that the information doesn't feel overwhelming.
  • I really liked the pills in the last section and the colors while hovering on them. But here again the heading didn't look like a heading.

Overall, It's a good start and a little work can improve the page a lot. I know it became a quite detailed feedback but I hope that it helps:)

Hey Jacob, thank you for your feedback. :) Detailed reviews always help as they are often hard to find, so I thank you for dedicating your precious time to my landing page. I don't know if I will have time to rework the whole landing page, but I will try to refine it as much as possible. You gave me a lot of food for thought so that is nice. :)

Hi, I love these bold and vivid colours and the overall feeling of the page. 🌈

However, there is always room for improvement. Overall, the page appears overwhelmed with multiple small details, breaking the unity of the design. The visual elements could be more consistent. For instance, align elements and choose either a sharp or soft style for all components.

Additionally, the top section of the page looks slightly different from the bottom section. Some UX copy can be shortened down with readability improvements.

Great work! 🌟

Thank you for your time reviewing my landing page, I truly appreciate it! :) Sadly I don't know if I will have the time to improve it, but I'm keeping it in mind.

I love the overall execution. Especially the animations!

Thank you for your feedback! :)
