ELBM: TSX.V
Electra Battery Materials approached us to rapidly transform their digital presence. Their website, while functional, no longer reflected the company's evolving identity and vision. Our mission was to streamline content, enhance accessibility to critical information like financial reports, and modernize the site's aesthetic. This redesign presented an opportunity to align Electra's online presence with their forward-thinking direction, shifting from an industrial look to one that showcased their position at the forefront of battery material innovation.
Key Improvements: Bridging Traditional Roots with Technological Future
The redesign focused on several areas to transform the website into a powerful tool for brand communication:
- Modernized Design Aesthetic: Moving away from industrial imagery, the new design immediately repositions the company as a forward-thinking, innovative player in the tech and EV space. The redesign made better use of the company's existing brand materials, incorporating them more effectively to create a cohesive and modern visual identity while retaining the familiar logo.
- Updated Typography: New, contemporary fonts were selected to complement the modern design, further distancing the brand from its traditional industrial roots.
- Dynamic Hero Section: Incorporation of drone footage showcasing the company's facilities as the landing page's hero content, immediately engaging visitors and setting a modern tone.
- Enhanced Storytelling: Utilization of key statistics, infographics, and carefully curated imagery to create a compelling narrative about the company's journey and future vision.
- Improved Navigation: Restructuring of the site architecture to ensure easy access to critical information, especially financial data and reports, catering to the needs of investors and partners.
The Result
The website redesign successfully transformed the client's digital presence, aligning it with their new identity as an innovative player in the EV and tech design sector. By blending beautiful imagery, engaging video content, and strategically presented data, the new website tells a story of an evolving company.
