The Challenge - Web design for electricians
Growing Beyond Local Roots
Smiths Electrical had a fantastic problem. They were already a highly respected, reliable, business who possessed decades of heritage. However, their visual identity hadn't changed in a long time.
As they began pitching to major, national construction partners, they noticed a gap. Their external branding didn't reflect their actual level of competency, scale, and professionalism. They needed a brand identity that could confidently stand alongside national tier-1 contractors, without losing the trust and equity they had built up in their local community.

Brand Identity
We discussed Smiths Electricals vision for their brand. They wanted to keep their existing heritage but bring their identity into the modern marketplace.
Logo Refresh
We presented several logo design suggestions that met the clients instructions. The logo was created in the first round of designs!

Website Design & Development
Smiths Electrical: Project Overview
Design: Evolution, Not Revolution
When Smiths Electrical handed us their brief, one thing was crystal clear: keep the heritage and the core colour palette.
We knew a radical, unrecognisable redesign would alienate their existing client base. Instead, our team focused on an evolutionary refresh—taking the core elements that worked, stripping away the dated aesthetics, and inject modern, clean geometric lines suitable for a high-end electrical contractor.

Brand Refresh
We retained the iconic company colours but updated the typography and iconography for the digital age. The lines were sharpened, the spacing optimised, and the overall mark was streamlined to ensure high legibility at any size.
A Powerful New Strapline
Brand Development
To perfectly encapsulate their commercial capabilities and purpose-driven work, we introduced the strapline:

Brand Guidelines
We built a robust set of brand guidelines to ensure the new identity looks flawless across every single touchpoint, including:
Vehicle Livery: High-visibility, clean layouts for the company fleet.
Corporate Literature: Modernised email signatures, letterheads, and invoices.
On-Site PPE: High-vis jackets, hard hats, and team uniforms.

Website Design: From Brand to Digital
Once the new brand identity was locked in, it was time to build its digital home. The original Smiths Electrical website was dated and acted more like a digital business card than a commercial tool.
We redesigned and developed a sleek, modern website with a primary focus on demonstrating competency to external stakeholders and major construction partners.
Key Website Features We Built:
project Portfolio
Enterprise-Level Project Showcase
expertise & experience
Compliance & Competency Hub
Prominent placement of industry accreditations, health and safety certificates, and insurance details to instantly build trust with procurement teams.
UX focus
Streamlined User Experience
A clean, easy-to-navigate interface that clearly segments their services (Commercial, Industrial, Domestic) for different target audiences.
The Results: A Digital Power Up
The transformation has given Smiths Electrical the ultimate confidence boost when walking into high-stakes boardroom pitches.
Now, from the email signatures of the directors to the side of a transit van on a major construction site, Smiths Electrical looks exactly like who they are: an industry-leading contractor powering projects that matter.
