The Challenge
Discovery
Before our intervention, Marand’s website faced several usability challenges that hindered its effectiveness in showcasing the company's services and engaging visitors.
These challenges included:
- Portfolio Presentation: The portfolio section lacked visual appeal and organization, making it difficult for visitors to explore the company's previous projects and understand its capabilities.
- Homepage Layout: The homepage suffered from cluttered design and unclear navigation, leading to user frustration and difficulty in accessing essential information about the company's services and recent projects.
- Company Information Display: The company page failed to prioritize important details such as office locations and contact information, resulting in a disjointed user experience and making it challenging for visitors to locate pertinent information.
With a focus on enhancing the user journey, our creative agency took on the challenge of revamping the construction company's website to create a seamless and engaging experience for visitors. Through strategic design interventions and user-centric approaches, we aimed to not only showcase Marands Construction expertise but also foster meaningful connections with its audience.
Our UX design strategy, rooted in meticulous user journey mapping, enhanced the navigable qualities of Marand’s website.
