Overview

OmniKai is a boutique consulting firm specializing in organizational transformation and change management. I was responsible for the complete website redesign, from user research to rebranding to development on Wix.

The Challenge

OmniKai's website didn't reflect business changes from the past couple of years, resulting in low conversion rates and decreased client contracts.

The Solution

Redesign OmniKai’s website, including user flows and brand identity, to effectively communicate their mission, services, and resonate with prospective clients.

Stakeholder Interview

I met with OmniKai’s Founder to understand their website’s strengths, challenges, and key objectives for the redesign.

Key Takeaways

  • Low conversion rates have made it difficult to secure client contracts
  • The website no longer reflects recent company changes or current values
  • A branding overhaul is needed to attract a broader audience and convey empathy, leadership, and trust
  • The primary goal is to drive more prospective clients to schedule consultations and, ultimately, hire OmniKai. The website must resonate with their audience and effectively address client pain points

Competitor Research

I researched 4 competitors to identify what works well and what needs improvement.  I analyzed the user flow for the appointment process, key service and case study features, and consulting marketing.
