Launching a Scalable CMS and Design System for Semrush
Challenge

Preparing for a major rebrand and a move off its existing web infrastructure, Semrush needed a partner to unify page ownership, introduce a shared design system, and bring its enterprise site into a single connected experience on a modern CMS.
 

Solution

Appnovation partnered with Semrush across three connected workstreams, delivering technical architect consulting, a component-based design system in Figma, and parallel builds covering an enterprise site reskin and a CMS migration.

Result

Semrush now has a unified design system, a refreshed enterprise site on the new brand identity, and a new CMS publishing model that unlocks faster, more agile content operations.
