First Impressions Count

You may know what your company stands for. What your branding stands for. But is that what people see when they visit your website for the first time?

According to Forbes, 82% of smartphone users research online before making a purchase. So, before they ever meet you, or enter your premises, your clients will have likely formed an impression of your brand that is influenced by your website.

Does it leave them with the same impression of your business and your brand as it would if they encountered it in person for the first time?

Leading the way

As part of Fitzgerald Power’s rebrand, we created a website that would authentically reflect their personality and purpose, bringing their creativity and outside the box thinking to life, differentiating them from the competition and conveying not just WHAT they do but WHY it matters. Giving their clients tangible solutions.

With research being a key motivator for prospective clients to visit their website, it was critical that they could easily navigate to the information most relevant to them. All content and copy was restructured and refreshed to provide the key, relevant information that clients needed in a consistent and engaging tone of voice.

Their new website was created using the UX design process – identifying their primary target users and mapping out their Customer Journey. Therefore their new website included sectors for their four target market areas – Community Pharmacy, Food & Beverage, Convenience Retail and SME. This allowed us to structure the site towards their target audiences and empower each user to flow effortlessly through the site on desktop, tablet or mobile – hugely important as mobile accounts for approximately 50% of web users worldwide.

The result was a clean, modern website for one of the most dynamic accountancy firms in Ireland, with striking imagery and a consistent tone of voice that was the right fit for their brand. One that communicates their forward-thinking outlook and agility within the sector.

Allowing Fitzgerald Power to stay current. And of course Adding Value. Always.
