Alphastuxure needed a website that lived up to their experience and expertise. They wanted to develop trust and exude maturity, so 500 Designs dove deep into research to craft a website that highlights their knowledge and ultimately positions them as a leader in the EaaS (Energy as a Service) space. Using clear and simplified messaging, inviting imagery, iconography, and subtle animation, the website now supports Alphastuxure in securing long-term partnerships for energy transformation projects.
Cordhaven Capital came to us with two concerns: they needed to modernize, and feel like a boutique without appearing small. Our goal was to emphasize their unique ability to bring a family-like feel to a high-touch, white-glove private wealth management service, and showcase their integral role in their client’s financial growth. We designed a simple-to-navigate website that prioritizes UX. The result? A modern, elegant, and sophisticated design that’s both elite and trustworthy in equal part.

Defendify needed visitors to instantly understand two things. One: that cybersecurity is a big problem and two: that Defendify is an award-winning all-in-one solution that’ll keep their organization safe. Cybersecurity can be scary and complicated, so our strategy was to showcase reliability and experience through statistics and iconography. Using animated data visualization and clear sections, we were able to highlight Defendify’s many protective layers, making something complex feel simple
