“The Pixel Parlor team was truly great to work with. They have a knack for “gently” pulling you out of your comfort zone, providing options that keep everyone comfortable with the design process and won’t settle until everyone is 100% happy with the end result. The organization and project management is top notch and takes all of the guesswork out of the process. We can’t thank them enough for helping us turn our brand into something we’re all proud to show off.”

Our Approach
Our process began with research and a discovery & visioning session, bringing together team leadership and key stakeholders to help determine the overall vision for the project. Our initial research included brand and website benchmarking, competitive analysis and identified initial problem solving to address. From here, we were able to gather a full understanding of goals & measures of success, assessed the existing website, and built a team consensus and expectations to move forward.

The Result
From a branding standpoint, we created a new logo and support materials to help expand the brand, including a branded color system, typefaces, and design elements to create a flexible palette of design solutions. Additionally, custom illustrations were created, catered to speak directly to and simplify their complex marketing services.
The new Strata website is a fully customized solution featuring page templates designed with the flexibility to support the different types of content on the site. Built on WordPress, the website leverages the latest technology with a mix of custom Gutenberg blocks and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to ensure the longevity of the website while providing a pain-free editing experience that is easy for even the most non-tech savvy to use.
