Prototyping
Axis Insurance formed in 2010 as an amalgamation of several BC brokerages with strong reputations and roots tracing back to 1928. It wouldn’t require risk insurance to back up the statement that they know what they’re doing! The trouble was that their website felt dry and outdated, and wasn’t telling the full story of their offering and capabilities.
That’s why the biggest goal of this website redesign was deeper storytelling on the insurance products, and creating relationships between content to improve discoverability. There needed to be a clear path from viewing content to connecting with a specialized broker.
Style
Axis had gone through a full rebrand, so we had a lot of fun exploring that in fresh web designs. Their colours are brighter, and their typography more welcoming. We emphasized their new, energized visual brand with bold shapes that draw the eye along their content, without distracting from the messaging.
Bringing it All Together
The new Axis Insurance website is full of opportunities – for content discovery, demonstrating their expertise, and converting visitors. It’s incredibly easy for users to quickly find their way to a broker who specializes in the type of insurance they need. At the same time, the site is built on our lightweight, low-code site builder, Refoundry, making it significantly faster and easier for their team to control settings and edit content as their company grows.
Built by Refoundry
Refoundry is a low-code site builder plugin created by Forge and Smith’s owner, Shawn Johnston, and our team of engineers. We’ve been building all of our websites on it since late 2022. It empowers our clients with total creative freedom in WordPress, and the ability to more easily grow and scale their sites.
