Main Page

The main page has a classic news portal style with a top screen displaying top headlines, a news feed, and a section for company job openings. The news feed supports various content formats such as videos, quotes, and statistics. Standard news cards, with or without images, are arranged in one or two columns, adding visual variety to the feed. To highlight particularly important news, we've added a "superblock." It can replicate a news story from the featured block, drawing even more attention. At the bottom of each news card, there's an icon of the Yandex product related to that news.

News

The news page is composed of numerous functional blocks: text, quotes, insets, comments, and photo and video galleries. We've added a "Mentions" block, providing detailed information casually mentioned in the text. To enhance the page depth, there are references to other portal materials  The "News" page serves as a kind of press center, more utilitarian compared to the main page, catering to PR professionals. News can be easily sorted by years and months. Within each news article, there is a button to download archives with attached materials.

Product Page

To simplify navigation across Yandex services, in the "Products" section, we used the logic of grouping them based on life spheres. A featured block is placed before the alphabetical list, which disappears when clicking on the search bar.When working on individual product pages, we selected universal solutions, which allowed for the description of both large and small services. We created multiple card options with the ability to add statistics, lists, icons, and links.

Collaboration with Yandex In-House Team

The client's Communication Design team proposed a project idea that required expert implementation on our part. In addition to working closely with Yandex designers, we collaborated extensively with their PR department. Together with the in-house teams, we refined the overall concept, and devised the structure of each page. It was important for us to maintain the recognizability of each page while incorporating non-trivial visual solutions.

Contacts

Yandex has an extensive network of offices in ten countries worldwide and its museums in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Belgrade. Therefore, we aimed to simplify navigation in the contacts section. In the top block, users can select a location, and it will display the contact details of the main office in that region. Below, there is a list of other offices with photos and a link to Yandex.Maps.

Event Calendar

On Yandex's events page, we've incorporated filters across several categories. Events are grouped by time, theme, and location. Additionally, we've added prompts for event registration and its status. If a conference, lecture, or meeting is happening online at the moment, it's easy to join them.
