Helix: From a 72-Hour Emergency Build to a Full Web3 Redesign
A case study by Ocean Development | Web Development, UI/UX Design & Framer Development for Web3 Platforms
Overview
Some clients come to you with months of runway. Helix came to Ocean Development with three days.
A Web3 platform with a hard deadline and no room for error, Helix needed a fully functional website live and ready before their window closed. Ocean Development stepped in, built it, and delivered. That performance opened the door to something bigger: a long-term partnership that eventually led to a complete redesign and redevelopment of the entire platform in Figma and Framer.
The Challenge
Web3 moves fast. Launches, token events, and community moments do not wait for agencies to get comfortable. When Helix reached out, they had three days. Not three weeks. Three days.
Beyond the initial timeline pressure, the project carried real technical complexity. Helix required advanced animations that needed to be converted into Framer-compatible components without losing fidelity or performance. Web3 audiences are discerning. The site needed to feel premium, modern, and technically credible from the moment it loaded.
After the initial launch, the product continued to evolve. What started as an emergency build grew into an ongoing support relationship, and eventually the team identified that the platform needed more than updates. It needed a full redesign.
The Solution
Three people. Three distinct roles. One cohesive product.
Micah Brown, COO was the foundation of the initial build. When Helix came in with a 72-hour deadline, Micah was the one who made it real. He took complex, advanced animations and converted them into fully Framer-compatible components, bringing the site to life technically and setting the standard the rest of the project would be built on. Without Micah's execution in those first three days, there is no partnership, no redesign, no long-term relationship.
Jaden Medina, CEO managed the client relationship throughout the engagement and took creative ownership of the redesign. When the time came to rethink the platform from the ground up, Jaden led the design direction, developing the new visual concept in Figma and translating the evolved brand into a stronger, more refined product.
Raytumb, Head Of Design took Jaden's redesign and converted it into a fully built Framer site. Handling the translation from static Figma frames to a live, interactive Framer build, Raytumb ensured the final product matched the design with precision and performed the way a Web3 platform needs to.
What We Built:
Initial Development, 72-Hour Delivery A fully functional Web3 website built from scratch in under three days. Advanced animations converted to Framer-compatible components. Live on time.
Ongoing Support Post-launch, Ocean Development remained the team behind Helix. Updates, refinements, and new requirements were handled consistently by the same people who built the original site.
Full Redesign and Redevelopment A complete visual and structural overhaul of the platform. New design direction developed in Figma by Jaden Medina, converted into a production Framer build by Raytumb. A stronger brand, a more refined user experience, and a platform built to grow with the project.
The Results
Milestone | Detail |
|---|---|
Initial Delivery | 72 hours |
Platform | Figma and Framer |
Industry | Web3 |
Engagement Type | Emergency Build, Ongoing Support, Full Redesign |

Helix is proof that how you show up under pressure defines the relationships you build. Delivering in 72 hours earned trust. That trust became a partnership. That partnership became a better product.
Why Web3 Projects Choose Ocean Development

Ocean Development has built and redesigned Web3 platforms under real deadline pressure. We know what it takes to deliver fast and we know what it takes to make it last.
If your Web3 project needs a team that can move when it matters, you have found them.
