Redesigning a translation company's site to match its new positioning
Contexte

Powerling was growing through acquisitions, with new companies and new products to absorb. Restructuring the positioning and the go-to-market came with it. The website no longer reflected that shift: it presented a translation agency, while the company was building platforms, automations and AI solutions.

CHALLENGE
  • Restructuring the hierarchy around the new positioning
  • Showing the depth of the offer, from multilingual strategy to automation
  • Expanding the visual language for the website
APPROACH

Start from wireframes to fix the structure against existing content, then design everything as templates so twenty pages stay consistent. Add a visual system the brand kit did not cover, shapes and flag-based gradients that say something about moving between languages, and hand the Webflow team a file where every state is already decided.

Defining the new hierarchy and content of every page through wireframes

I started with wireframes to map the existing content against the new positioning, spot what was missing, and decide what had to be rewritten rather than moved.

BRAND

Creating a visual concept that speaks about moving between languages

A logo had been chosen before I arrived, and the colors and typefaces followed from it. What the site needed was movement: a shape I could repeat from one section to the next to give it rhythm and identity, and that said something about what the company actually does. So the work went into combining a form and a set of colors.

Waves

Content starts as one flat line, then gets translated and replicated across languages. The line widens: the content is amplified.

Gradients running between two pairs of flags
Gradients

Each gradient is a transition between flag colours, one language crossing into another.

The wave filled with the gradient gives the shape declined across the whole site.

ASSETS

Extending the system beyond the website

The shapes and gradients did not stop at the site. I carried them over to the material the sales team uses to communicate, LinkedIn visuals and a one-pager, and documented the system in a short brand book.
