Launched in early 2017, March (marchbranding.com) received recognition and design awards from a number of respected authorities including:

CSS Design Awards for March

Our new, responsive website was built with HTML5 and CSS3 and features a range of custom animations in JavaScript to bring the pages to life.

Originally developed in Umbraco, we made the decision to migrate the site to WordPress and built our own bespoke theme. Being part of a larger community, WordPress would allow us more off-the-shelf support to augment our bespoke features.

The key areas we wanted to focus on for our new website were Case Studies, followed by our Blog. It was important for us to best exhibit the great work and value we give – and continue to give – to our clients.

Another milestone we strived to achieve was a fast load time and lean pages. For this, we used a combination of design and code techniques, along with image compression, which resulted in positive scores in GT Metrix and Google Pagespeed. Ultimately, this would translate to quicker page load speeds and a more enjoyable experience for our users.

The website redesign and build process took in all a total of 8 weeks to visualize, wireframe, design, code, populate, test and launch.

A big pat on the back to our branding, UX design, web development, and content marketing teams who worked day and night to release a product we’re all proud of! 

With special thanks to the following design awards:
