01

Challenge

The new website needed to capitalize on some of the existing content while providing an experience and interface that felt fresh and bolder, enabling visitors to interact with Rocket's case studies more directly and intuitively. Many of Rocket's case studies involve engagements and collaborations with prominent brands that significantly impact communities across the U.S. Rocket aimed to leverage these outcomes by establishing a new online presence that would allow them to improve the analytics for their case studies and help gather new contacts for future communications.

Solution

We collaborated with Rocket to create an initial experience that involved restructuring existing content and making informed UX propositions to ensure users have easy and direct access to case studies and thought leadership content on the new website.

Once wireframes were approved and we gained awareness of Rocket's visual brand, we delved into implementing the new website. Utilizing WordPress as their CMS, we designed and developed rapid prototypes and site instances that allowed us to conduct internal testing of the UX assumptions we had formulated.

After conducting internal testing and iterating through various design and development phases, we finally arrived at a version of the new site that was a perfect fit.

Our iterative approach allowed us to gather swift feedback from Rocket, ensuring we created a product that met their needs and embodied the organization's personality.

Ask a question

Ask a question

What’s included in a monthly retainer?

01

Each retainer includes a set number of design or strategy requests per month, priority turnaround, and a dedicated point of contact. It’s built for teams who want ongoing support without starting from scratch every time.

How many requests can I make per month?

02

We typically handle up to two active requests at a time, with new ones queued as they’re completed. Most deliverables are turned around within 48–72 hours, depending on complexity.

Is a retainer better than a one-off project?

03

If you need ongoing design support, faster turnarounds, or regular iterations, a retainer is often more cost-effective and collaborative than starting fresh each time.

Who will I be working with?

04

You’ll work directly with senior designers and strategists. No middle layers, no fluff—just experienced people doing the work.

Do you work with international clients?

05

Yes. Most of our clients are remote. We’re fully set up to collaborate across time zones with clear communication and shared tools.
