The Vision
John’s vision for this marketing initiative was to expand his brand’s reach and elevate its digital presence to match the professionalism and excellence he brings to his in-person work. He sought a polished business website capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with those of other globally recognized sales coaches.
Additionally, John required strategic marketing consultation to guide his branding efforts, as well as an integrated CRM and marketing system to seamlessly manage his digital outreach and client interactions.
Expanded Page and Section Structure Strategy
Part of the redesign process for this website was to create an expanded set of web pages that would better facilitate the client's goals, and also to improve the SEO of the website. Google search looks for certain standard pages within a business website, such as Home, About, Services, Contact, Blog, and others, in order to help verify that the website is worth sending traffic to.
Additionally, we incorporated an Events page to help John showcase the amazing content that is captured at his live events, and a Lead generation system that offers free expert sales techniques to grow customer relationships and cultivate an list of contacts. These contacts are then fed into John's CRM system, where he can further relationships and nurture leads.
Identifying Opportunities for Improvement
When John Costigan came to us, his website did not reflect his expertise or reputation as a world-class sales coach. Its amateur design and lack of cohesive branding made it difficult to connect with clients and showcase the premium value of his services. We focused on key areas of improvement, transforming his website into a professional, engaging digital presence.
Creating a Cohesive Design and Unified Branding
John’s previous website lacked polish, which undermined his credibility and professionalism. Visitors struggled to trust the site, making it harder to convey the value of his services.
A Cohesive Design That Builds Trust
We introduced a polished, cohesive design that created a strong first impression. By incorporating professional typography, a refined color palette, and consistent visuals, the new site immediately communicates John’s expertise. Visitors are now engaged from the moment they land on the site, positioning John as a credible leader in his field.
Unified Branding That Reinforces Authority
The lack of cohesive branding diluted John’s message and made the site feel unfocused. Without a strong identity, visitors found it harder to remember or connect with his services. By standardizing colors, typography, and logo usage across the site, we created a unified brand identity that strengthened John’s authority and made his services more memorable.
Enhancing Usability, Navigation, and Visual Appeal
John’s previous site had misaligned buttons, inconsistent image sizing, and unclear navigation paths, creating friction for users. These issues reduced engagement and made it difficult for visitors to explore his content or take the next step.
Improved Usability and Navigation
We redesigned key elements of the site to ensure a seamless and user-friendly experience. Buttons were resized for clarity, sections were properly scaled for balance, and navigation paths were streamlined, making it easier for visitors to find the information they need. Clear calls-to-action now encourage users to engage and take meaningful steps, such as exploring services or contacting John.
Visual Appeal That Captures Attention
The outdated design lacked the bold, modern aesthetics needed to grab attention and keep visitors exploring. The refreshed site features striking visuals, clean lines, and vibrant imagery that align with John’s elite reputation. This creates a lasting impression, encouraging visitors to stay longer and boosting lead generation.
Adding Animations and Building Credibility
John’s old site relied on clunky, outdated animations that left a poor impression and undermined his brand.
Animations That Enhance Professionalism
We replaced the outdated animations with smooth, polished transitions and modern effects. These enhancements reinforce John’s dynamic and innovative reputation, leaving visitors with a positive perception of his expertise and services.
A Presence That Commands Credibility
The amateur aesthetic of the previous site did not match John’s reputation as a world-class sales coach. By combining consistent branding, polished visuals, and seamless functionality, the redesigned site aligns perfectly with John’s elite reputation, meeting the expectations of his high-profile clientele.
