UX/UI Case Study

The Brief

A well-established business in Melbourne, Employee Relations Expertise works with large corporations to facilitate internal disputes. Their web presence, however, did not reflect their reputation, with a home-made GoDaddy website. In speaking with the owners, it was clear that they deserved a website that attracted customers, conveyed their vast expertise and breadth of services.

The Solution

We’re all for business owners themselves designing and building their own websites, but there comes a time to level-up. Their branding, though, was already well-planned and on-point, and our job was to simply translate this into digital experience befitting of ERE’s authority and expertise.

The Concept

The visual concept draws inspiration from ERE’s branding, which embodies the notion of an employment relationship. The logo features circular elements symbolising the unity between employers and employees. By integrating these shapes into the design, we highlighted the brand’s emphasis on unity and interconnectedness, ensuring that the visuals align with their overarching strategy of collaboration and togetherness.

Design System

To ensure smooth operation and easy management in design and development, we used a design system that centralised buttons and other components as key resources.

Technical UX/UI

The ERE website is designed with simplicity in mind, yet we prioritised inclusivity across all devices. This approach ensures a seamless and accessible user experience, regardless of the device being used.

Search Engine Optimisation

Our first job was to data-mine the client, their marketing collateral, business plans, and other documents that delved deeply into their services, sub-services, and value propositions so we could understand every aspect of their business. After researching every possible keyword target, we devised a site architecture that resulted in 26 targeted URLs.

After planning the on-page information architecture and working with the client on producing optimised content, we had a newly expanded website designed to outperform the competition across measurable SEO metrics.

The meticulous SEO strategy, with its foundation in thorough data mining and collaboration, positions the company for increased online visibility without overshadowing its core values.
