Features like \u201csubscribe\u201d and \u201csearch\u201d were also integrated into the navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple and well-structured system not only makes the experience smoother for users but also helps present content in a more organized way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/kontra.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/handikap-arxitektura-1024x456.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kontra.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/handikap-arxitektura-1024x456.webp 1024w, https:\/\/kontra.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/handikap-arxitektura-300x134.webp 300w, https:\/\/kontra.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/handikap-arxitektura-768x342.webp 768w, https:\/\/kontra.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/handikap-arxitektura-1536x685.webp 1536w, https:\/\/kontra.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/handikap-arxitektura.webp 1840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Color Palette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with the \u201cHandikap\u201d branding, the main color chosen for the web design was a vibrant <strong>aqua green<\/strong>.
