Established in 1983, Robert D. Niehaus, Inc. (RDN) began sharing their analytical abilities to provide comprehensive and accurate economic analysis, forecasting, and planning for private & government entities.

Discovery

RDN came to us with a website that was outdated, wordy and stale. There was the fear that their current website failed to clearly explain what they do in a way that allowed visitors to understand the value their firm provides. They wanted to reshape the perceptions of their company online with an informative website that was pleasing to the eye and enjoyable to view.

In order to provide RDN with a focused and attractive website, we spent time with their team defining key goals and action items for the new site.

One goal we identified during this discovery phase was that they wanted to stand apart from other consulting site by making their website feel more dynamic and engaging so people would want to stay on the site, click around, and read their reports. A second goal we discussed was the importance of setting the site up to be an impactful recruiting tool that would leave potential employees with a positive impression of their firm.

Build

Once we architected, tested, and approved the framework, we started building out the new website. In order to give the site a modern look, we utilized a harmonious balance of whitespace, striking visual imagery, and typographical styling to accentuate the value propositions offered by RDN.

Furthermore, to ensure the overall messaging of the site was direct, concise, and professional, we emphasized important information with bold applications of their branded color palatte to enhance the visual organization and increase the chance of conversion.

Once the design phase was completed, we dove into coding their custom site upon the WordPress CMS platform. Structured to allow RDN to easily update the content on the site in the future, we developed the custom backend to be intuitive to use. As an added bonus, during development, we implemented subtle animations into the site to give it added polish and appeal.
