The Challenge

Ulton’s heritage forms a large part of their identity; having served Australian businesses and individuals for over 90 years. They pride themselves on going above and beyond for their clients, helping them to succeed in business and also in life.

However, Ulton’s existing website wasn’t doing justice to the legacy of the brand or performing to attract, educate and convert new customers. Furthermore, the website wasn’t allowing them to easily implement and measure digital marketing campaigns, leading to a shortage of online leads for their Sales team.

The Approach

Through the creation of a new design system, content strategy and technology framework "HubSpot", we implemented a digital transformation of the Ulton brand. We introduced new utilities and experiences within the website to improve the customer journey, establish brand philosophy and encourage prospects to engage Ulton’s leading advisors to achieve financial and lifestyle success.

DESIGN DIRECTION

Providing Certainty, Inspiring Confidence.

We recognised the need to communicate often-complex financial information in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, yet retained Ulton’s insightful and experienced tone of voice. Our simplified design direction was created to support this vision; to provide certainty and inspire confidence among visitors.

Implementing a Versatile Design System

Drawing inspiration from the local area, Ulton’s brand colours are bold and confident. Through implementing these colours, creating custom iconography and unique layouts with imagery, we represented both the philosophy behind the brand and a revitalised look for their website.

CUSTOMER JOURNEY

Building Cohesive Experiences That Inspire Action

By simplifying the design of the Ulton website, restructuring its navigation and refining key messages, we achieved a unified customer experience that provided a clear path to conversion for all visitors.

Heat mapping analysis as part of our ongoing Growth-Driven Design program has revealed a greater volume of visitors reaching further below the fold than ever before.

WELCOME HOME

Large C̶o̶m̶p̶a̶n̶y̶ Community

We wanted to present a warm and inviting look and feel that supported the aspirational nature of Ulton’s services. While Ulton is a successful corporate company, they felt their existing “corporate” design was failing to engage their target audience.

Instead, we aimed to communicate community over company, through use of shear gradients, rounded edges and subtle patterns to make visitors feel at home.

BUILT FOR FLEXIBILITY

Easy to Read, Easy to Edit.

Unlike Ulton's previous website, their new system is entirely responsive across devices, which has already vastly improved engagement among mobile visitors.

It's also built with a bespoke system of modular components, giving the Ulton team the ability to evolve the website as their business grows.
