The Challenge

Poor Brand Integration

NYCLA’s web presence failed to accurately reflect the esteemed heritage and professional prowess of the organization. The integration of the brand’s colours and fonts into the web presence did not convey their status as a modern, influential force within the legal community.

Text-Heavy Layout

Large blocks of text lack strong visual breaks or scannability, making it difficult for visitors to quickly absorb key messages. This results in a poor reading experience, especially on mobile.
