Web Design in Central Massachusetts

A Regional Chamber in Central Massachusetts wanted to design a new logo and website to modernize and improve communication. First they needed a fresh brand and logo. Next, that look and feel was incorporated onto a new modern website that captured the region’s flair. The new site made it easy for the Chamber team to manage, and also integrated an off-site chamber member experience. Lastly, the organization required a web design agency they could count on to continue to work on future projects.

THE CHALLENGE

An Expanding Central Massachusetts Chamber Organization Requires a Rebranding and Easy to Manage Website

New logo, brand colors, and fonts for the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce

The North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce (NCMCOC) wanted to modernize the organization’s overall brand. They wanted new brand colors, fonts, and logos. Several other brands under the organization’s umbrella would also require a consistent brand evolution.

Website design project requirements

The Chamber website design needed to be simple, modern, and easy to manage. They wanted to move to a WordPress platform that would be easy to manage. It also required integration with chamber member software necessary for a chamber directory and other member communication tools.

First, the Chamber had a designated budget and timeline. Second, they also had several other projects that would need to happen over the next few months. Last, it was important to the Chamber to hire a local web design agency to do that job and continue to be a partner.

We sent off an RFP to every web designer in the North Central Massachusetts area. Ladybugz Interactive became a top choice. After the interview process, we chose them to work on our website. In order to preserve the same look and feel across all of our affiliates, we asked them to do other websites as well.

THE SOLUTION

A Custom Integrated Solution Built for Easy Management and Website Expansion for a Growing Chamber

The process for redesigning an outdated logo

Our design team worked with the chamber to modernize the brand, logo and colors for the organization. These fonts and colors needed to consider the other organizations under the chambers umbrella and could not be too far off from the current colors. Our team was able to modernize current colors and fonts, and develop a logo the chamber loved. Our digital agency took home a Silver Davey Award for this work.

Our web design team modernized the chamber’s website with a new WordPress website customizing the Enfold Theme.
