StratWest

/ Sydney, Australia
A bold digital home for strategic impact.
  • UX & UI Design
  • Animation and Interaction
  • Custom Development
  • Intuitive Content Management

Project overview

We teamed up with StratWest for our second collaboration with Brett to bring their vibrant consultancy model to the digital stage. The goal was to build a platform that captured their unique energy while maintaining the professionalism required for high-level strategy work.
We created a bright, engaging space that speaks the language of government, business, and community.

The challenge

The main task was balancing a bold, high-energy visual identity with a clear, professional user experience. We had to ensure that the confident colors and strong imagery didn't distract from the strategic message or make the site difficult to navigate.
The goal was to create a "loud" brand presence that still felt organized and intuitive for stakeholders.

What we did
(and what we avoided)

  • High-impact UI design

  • Flexible Case Studies module

  • Modern, responsive architecture

  • Custom CMS tools

  • Safe, generic designs
  • Rigid portfolios
  • Cluttered interfaces
  • Performance drops

Our focus lies in delivering tangible bottom line outcomes that make a real impact.

  • Custom Frontend Development
    Coding a vibrant, responsive site that maintains its edge on all screens.
  • Case Study Module Build
    Creating a user-friendly system for the team to publish real-world impact stories.
  • UX/UI Layout Strategy
    Balancing bold visual elements with a logical, easy-to-follow user journey.
  • Performance Optimisation
    Ensuring fast load times for a visually-heavy and color-rich platform.
  • Stakeholder-Centric SEO
    Structuring content to be discoverable by government and business partners.
David helped us set up our website and digital identity. He is responsive, creative and solutions oriented. I would highly recommend David's services, as we continue to use him as our external supplier.
