This newly established Seattle law firm needed to get up and running fast! With no time to pause between the transition from their old firms and the build-out of their emergent one, the three founding partners came to us seeking our full suite of naming, branding, web design, and development offerings. Their discerning and innovative clientele required an elegant digital presence that conveyed excellence, integrity, and commitment.Conflare designed and built a gorgeous site of carefully crafted content that has been instrumental to the firm’s ability to spin up quickly. Armed with a strong and beautiful brand, this intrepid firm managed to quickly gain its footing while rapidly growing an aligned client base and a formidable team of legal practitioners.
This proof-of-concept/minimal viable product (MVP) project was probably some of the most challenging geeky fun we’ve ever had while creating a site. During design and development sprint, we worked with our client daily to ensure we understood the brand, the target demographic, and how they currently leveraged existing fantasy sportsball tools. Yes, we said it, “Sportsball!” Because, though there are a couple of hardcore Seahawks fans on our team, the rest of us had to find our way in through our love of stats and maths. And, in the end, we pooled our collective knowledge to create something that was not only functional it was pretty visually appealing too! So, of course, as a bit of a post-launch celebration, we huddled up with the Draftprime crew at the local pub for pre-game drinks and tacos. Go team!
As a critical step toward winning the industry partners it needed, this emerging fintech company sought to distinguish its brand and its small business, real-time loan solution offerings.In collaboration with Fimerica, our studio designed a digital marketing brand that clearly communicated trust, ease of use, and professionalism. We developed a complex web application that was intuitive, efficient, and beautifully branded in addition to fine-tuning their business model and target audience messaging. A successful soft-launch of the website won Fimerica the interest of critical investors as well as partnerships with some of the biggest names in small business lending. As Fimerica continues working to establish itself in this competitive space, we are cheering them on.
This international law firm with a reputation for toughness, tenacity, and legal prowess, needed a brand and digital presence as bold as their acclaimed legal team. From their logo, tagline, and corporate papers, to their office signage, wall colors, web design, copywriting, and imagery, Conflare executed a complete overhaul of the Harris Bricken identity that their team could own and carry with pride. The new look and messaging continues to attract topnotch legal talent and a highly discerning client base.
