Creative Niche
We teamed up with CreativeNiche to give their website a much-needed makeover. Their old site didn't showcase their growth or match their mission of connecting world-class talent with creative agencies, brands, and organizations which was holding them back. They brought us in to redesign their site and help them strategize better ways to recruit top talent and new clients looking to hire top talent. Our goal was to make their website more user-friendly so teams could easily find and hire talent.

Understanding the problem
Business goals
When we began working with the CreativeNiche team, their goals were clear: to build trust and create a believable brand through their website. They recognized the importance of having a website that serves as the first digital handshake, crucial in attracting candidates to apply for roles. Additionally, they aimed for a scalable design that would grow with their needs. Empowering their team to maintain the website independently, without extensive engineering support, was also a key objective to ensure agility and responsiveness.
Business challenges
Most clients who reach out to us are seeking a straightforward path to success and lack the internal resources to achieve it. Our track record of repeatable success aligns perfectly with their needs. We excel in designing and building websites that serve as valuable assets, not liabilities, ensuring their goals are met efficiently and effectively.

White mode visual direction
Exploring white mode designs, we aimed for a clean, sophisticated look. However, it didn't align with our trustworthy branding. So, we chose a different direction.

Illuminate your hiring journey with Dark Mode, shedding light on seamless recruitment.
Recruiting websites commonly lack visual appeal, particularly in boutique staffing agencies aiming to distinguish themselves. Recognizing this challenge, we transformed CreativeNiche's website into a visually striking platform.

By embracing dark mode and clean design, we appealed to forward-thinking companies seeking fresh approaches to staffing. This strategic shift not only enhanced their brand image but also positioned them as leaders in the industry, poised for significant returns on investment as they expand their team and clientele.
