Original design
Contents in the original website were scattered without thoughtful information architecture, making the website difficult to navigate. Outdated images, color and layout did not successfully communicate its value.

Process

Site Map
Every page of the website was reviewed to understand its content and messaging. Some information was placed in unconventional sections, making it difficult for users to find what they needed. To improve clarity, I created a site map organize the pages more effectively.

Mood Board

After a few conversations with Career Confidence, I gathered information on target audience, look and feel preferences for their brand. In creating their moodboard, I collected images related to working environments that reflected organization and lots of white space. Our primary colors stemmed from Career Confidence's two logo colors; navy and dark yellow.

To craft our final color palette, I extracted black, warm colors and neutrals from the images in the moodboard. The strong contrast between black and white added a sense of professionalism and clarity.
