The constraint

What wasn’tworking.

IVY’s website no longer matched the standard of their work. The layout was dated, the portfolio was hard to navigate and key service information was buried.

Visitors couldn’t quickly see IVY’s capabilities, experience or approach, which weakened first impressions.
