Brief

ADA were after a site and brand redesign in order to showcase their work, express their commitment to environmental awareness and promote their awards, to attract new clients.

The site was designed for visitors on various devices, and operates on desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports. Upon landing, users immediately see a button to their contact page to improve response rates on their contact forms.
