THE BRIEF / THE CLIENT’S VISION
THE BRIEF / CLIENT’S VISION
This prestigious client required a new website that would reflect their heritage, commitment to quality, and excellent reputation. Their previous website had become outdated and struggled to rank well in search engines, and no longer reflected the high-end nature of their products.

Words Written
Apart from showing off the product range available, the client also wanted to communicate the key things that make them a true stand-out in the industry: from their 30+ year heritage as a family-owned, local business to their handmade products using quality materials in their purpose-built, state-of-the-art factory.
Additionally, this client knew their main customer base well, and recognised the need for design elements that were accessible, easy to read, and easy to navigate for the comfort of their visitors.
MOBILE DESIGN
THE PACKAGE
With a large percentage of visitors to the website using mobile devices, it was essential that the client’s website was perfectly mobile-friendly and responsive. The resulting mobile site is easy to navigate and browse no matter what device you are using.
OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
With a client this impressive, it’s important to communicate their excellence, quality, and heritage through brand strategy, visual design, photography and videography, and copywriting.
We started with brand strategy to identify the client’s key messages, along with the look and feel of the website. Moving into the website stage, we had to completely overhaul an outdated website that lacked a lot of information that a modern website requires so we created a full website content plan that allows visitors to feel fully steeped in the history and quality of the brand.
The client also needed photography and videography, with which we provided full-scale creative direction. From directing the photographer on key photos required, to shot-by-shot video planning and direction to create promotional videos, we were able to best communicate the excellence of the brand.
Throughout the website design process we implemented accessible design features, multiple blog styles, a gallery, and custom forms. Additionally, since it had been a while since our clients had their last website created, we took the time to ensure they were educated and up-to-date on modern website practices so that they could feel informed and confident in what we had created.

AFTER LAUNCH
AFTER LAUNCH
Since launching, Newport Custom Shutters have been able to maintain brand recognition and bolster their status as premium manufacturers. The clients received fantastic customer feedback on their new website and copy. Today, their customers are able to easily find them on Google and learn about the company and their extensive range of products with ease.
Please note: Since launching this project, the client has hired an external SEO company who added additional html copy to the website. Some layouts and copy elements are not our original design and vision.
