Imagine searching for a top-tier accounting software firm to manage your financial reporting. You visit a website expecting a sleek, professional interface that inspires trust and confidence. Instead, you're greeted by a cluttered, outdated site filled with dense text and confusing navigation. Despite knowing the company's strong reputation, would you feel confident entrusting them with your financial information?
This was the dilemma faced by potential clients of Forest Systems. Their digital storefront—an outdated, text-heavy, non-responsive website—failed to reflect the high-quality, cutting-edge solutions they offered. High-value individuals and financial managers were turned off by the unprofessional appearance and perceived security risks. Forest Systems needed a financial services web design transformation to instill confidence and effectively engage their audience.
Forest Systems, a leader in the high-end software, SaaS, and finance market, suffered from an outdated, non-responsive website design that fell short of modern user expectations. The aesthetic was visually unappealing and incongruent with the innovative nature of their software and financial solutions.
Visitors were greeted with dense paragraphs of technical text, making it difficult to quickly understand key points. This verbose and technical content failed to engage users or clearly convey Forest Systems' value proposition.
Moreover, the navigation system was cumbersome and unintuitive, making it challenging for users to find relevant information. This poor user experience often resulted in potential clients leaving the site prematurely.
The website's unprofessional appearance also raised significant security concerns—potential clients were hesitant to share sensitive financial information due to its perceived insecurity.
This combination of factors created substantial barriers to conversion and engagement.
We reimagined the Forest Systems website with a sleek, contemporary design tailored to appeal to their discerning clientele. Our design strategy focused on creating a professional, trustworthy aesthetic that visually aligned with the cutting-edge nature of their offerings. Clean lines, a modern color palette, and intuitive layouts were central to this redesign.
A unique aspect of this project involved Forest Systems’ interns from a local college bringing our designs to life. This collaborative effort offered the interns valuable real-world experience and proved to be a rewarding process for everyone involved. Their fresh perspectives and enthusiasm were inspiring, resulting in a well-executed and polished final product.
Clear and Compelling Content
We first overhauled the content on the landing page and throughout the website to make it more straightforward and engaging. By focusing on concise messaging, we showcased their unique selling points and competitive edge, ensuring that visitors could quickly understand their value. This included a compelling narrative that simplified and emphasized Forest Systems' unique offerings and their impact on clients' financial goals. Strategic storytelling highlighted success stories and customer testimonials, making the benefits of their innovative solutions clear and immediately apparent to site visitors.
Illustrations That Paint the Big Picture
Our in-house illustrator developed custom graphics to make the content more engaging and visually appealing. These illustrations aligned with their concept of "seeing the forest, not the trees," emphasizing the big picture and critical details. These visuals helped make complex information more digestible and engaging for users.
Crafting an Intuitive User Journey
We redesigned the website's user experience (UX) to ensure a smooth and intuitive user journey, from initial discovery through to deeper engagement. This involved overhauling the navigation system to be more user-friendly, integrating a streamlined menu and clear call-to-action buttons. These changes made it easier for visitors to navigate the site, find essential information swiftly, and engage with content more effectively, enhancing overall user satisfaction.
Building Trust with Professional Design
We integrated modern design elements and a professional aesthetic to address the perceived security issues. The new design exudes trust and reliability, encouraging visitors to feel confident in sharing their information. This included using secure design cues and trust signals throughout the site.
The redesigned website for Forest Systems is a testament to the power of combining modern design with strategic storytelling. By focusing on user needs and leveraging our industry-specific knowledge, we delivered a platform that elevates the brand and drives meaningful engagement with its target audience. The impact of these changes was significant:
