RESEARCH & DESIGN RATIONALE

A family resemblance.
A clearer experience.

Review of the parent directory and the seven linked company websites. Two additional brands have no linked website on the current directory.

The opportunity

The existing parent page displays the brands, but leaves visitors to work out which company fits their needs. The redesign adds a clear group introduction, descriptions for every company, capability-based navigation, and direct paths to the relevant teams.

The shared language comes from the existing black-and-orange identity. The premium feel comes from restraint: original logos, precise spacing, calm copy, large photography, and consistent interactions.

A practical rollout.

  1. Establish the parent. Make the family understandable and each company easy to find.
  2. Share the foundation. Apply the common typography, spacing, navigation, buttons, and footer to the company sites.
  3. Refine each journey. Adapt imagery, services, and contact paths to each business.
  4. Verify before launch. Confirm company names, contact destinations, service areas, licenses, image rights, and the two coming-soon brands.
