The Challenge

Outdated and Generic Web Layout

The previous website design relied on dated structures and patterns that lacked modern functionality. This limited the ability to guide users effectively through content and made the site feel stagnant compared to contemporary competitors.

Weak Brand Integration

Brand identity was poorly represented through the use of generic stock imagery, unrecognizable typography, and uninspired iconography. This diluted Discuss.io’s credibility and prevented the site from reflecting the innovative nature of the company.

Text-Heavy Inner Pages

Content across inner pages was overly dense and lacked visual segmentation. Without clear hierarchy or supporting visuals, users were forced to sift through blocks of text, leading to disengagement and higher bounce rates

The Solution

A Disruptive Visual Brand Refresh

To appeal to a Fortune 500 audience, we conducted a series of workshops to overhaul their visual brand standards. By introducing a consistent color palette, modern typography, and recognizable iconography, the site gained a more cohesive and professional look. These changes improved scannability, accessibility, and navigation flow, helping users engage with content more intuitively.

Custom Visual Design

To replace generic stock imagery, we introduced custom icons and process illustrations that visually explained Discuss.io’s workflows and services. These branded visuals added clarity, reinforced storytelling, and created a more memorable user experience.
