LucidEra
A new company which aimed "to be to Business Intelligence what Salesforce.com is to CRM."
Original home page. The CEO had made an effort to communicate the value proposition but the home page read like a press release. He was ready to talk specifics about the product but didn't know where to begin.
Home page redesigned. I mapped out the pages needed, designed a look, and wrote new content from printed materials the company had developed. There was not a consciously designed logo or wordmark and the CEO did not want to take the time to design one. We chose a direct, confident writing style with a dash of humility and a restrained but somewhat unexpected color palette.
The pages are text-heavy, but I used several tactics to keep the visitor reading instead of yawning (or clicking to another site): The writing has a personality and point of view behind it; I ruthlessly cut every paragraph and sentence down to its essentials; and I liberally used boldface, subheads and bullet lists.
