Create a User-Friendly Website: Design a website that is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and showcases their work effectively.
Professional Photography: Capture high-quality images of completed projects to enhance the visual appeal and storytelling of the brand.
Approach
1. Brand Development
To kick off the project, we conducted a series of workshops with the Murray Landscape Architecture team to understand their vision, mission, and target audience. Through brand strategy exercises, we identified key attributes that defined their identity:
Sustainability: Emphasizing eco-friendly practices.
Creativity: Innovative and artistic design solutions.
Expertise: A strong background in landscape architecture.
With this foundation, we developed a new logo, color palette, and typography that resonated with their values and set the tone for all marketing materials.
2. Website Design
Next, we designed a modern, responsive website that aligned with the new brand identity. Key features included:
Portfolio Showcase: A dedicated section to display project galleries with detailed descriptions, highlighting the design process and outcomes.
User Experience: Intuitive navigation and clear call-to-action buttons to enhance user engagement.
Mobile Optimization: Ensuring that the website performed seamlessly across different devices, catering to a broader audience.
We prioritized search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to improve organic search visibility, focusing on keywords relevant to landscape architecture and design.
3. Professional Photography
To bring the new brand and website to life, we organized a professional photography session on-site at various completed projects. Our goal was to create striking visuals that:
Capture the essence of each project.
Highlight unique design elements and sustainable features.
Showcase the firm's attention to detail and craftsmanship.
The resulting imagery not only enhanced the website but also served as a powerful marketing asset for social media and promotional materials.

Increased Website Traffic: Within the first three months post-launch, the website traffic increased by 60%, with notable improvements in user engagement metrics such as time on site and page views.
Enhanced Brand Recognition: The cohesive brand identity helped Murray Landscape Architecture stand out in a competitive market, leading to more inquiries and projects.
Social Media Growth: The professional photography contributed to a 75% increase in social media engagement, allowing the firm to connect with potential clients and showcase their projects effectively.
