Shaking Up the Industry

Willbox is a newcomer to the Wills, Trusts & Probate market and they’re shaking up the industry. They offer a purpose built app designed for will-writing.

Their app is challenging the status quo and getting people talking about the importance of having a will in place.

The days of having to use a solicitor or dedicated will-writing company to create a simple will are seemingly numbered.

Requirements

With traction gaining in the market, Willbox contacted us to help them develop their branding, website, new look app user interface and marketing collateral.

The Challenge

Willbox wanted us to create a whole new look that spoke to the modernisation of their industry.

We needed to challenge the status quo and eliminate the stigma attached to will-writing by using colour, good design and a voice that was simplified and supportive to the overall customer journey.

Finding the Right Colours

The hesistance surrounding discussing death often times leads to anxious feelings, which most people try to avoid.

We needed to use a primary colour that directly negated the characteristics of anxiety and acted as a counter-balance. To enhance the user experience, we needed a trio of accent colours to advise and inform.

Tweaking the Logo

Willboxs’ logo only required a few small changes. We looked at the design language we wanted to use for their overall brand image and adjusted the logo to fit more with the softer corners and flat colours we intended to employ.

With a bit of tweaking, colour shifting and softening of the edges, we reached the Final Logo.

Creating a Style Guide

Willbox did not have a style guide to help inform their visual identity.

Consistency was required across all their customer touchpoints and guidelines for their affiliates and external stakeholders.

With significant changes to their overall brand image and persona, we put together a style guide to maintain continuity and a consistent visual identity that remained recognisable to their audience.

Building an Online Presence

Developing Willboxs’ website to showcase their product features with an e-commerce store for their hardcopy wills.

Willbox wanted a website that would encourage visitors to download their purpose-built will writing app and offer guidance and support  for their hardcopy wills via a dedicated help centre.

We created a clutter-free website that spoke to the benefits of using their app with a step by step guide to completing their hardcopy will.

This ecommerce website is optimised to provide high conversion rates for both their online store and app downloads.

Responsive Design

We built the new webpage to be responsive across all devices. With internet searches being the highest on mobile devices, we wanted to ensure the user experience was seamless across all screen sizes. 

SEO Optimised

We employed a variety of SEO optimisation techniques to improve the website’s search engine ranking, which in turn will help drive more traffic to their site.

Custom Graphics

We created custom graphics using visual clues from their style guide and prototype user interface. All elements on the webpage followed the same design language.

Rebuilding the Willbox User Interface

We were tasked with creating a clean, easy to use interface and engaging user experience that would provide guided assistance and visual clues to help users complete their wills.

The old interface was in need of a facelift to create a more streamlined user experience. Simplified controls and a makeover of the app navigation menu would undoubtedly increase engagement across all areas.

We captured each section of the old user interface and imported it into our wireframe application. We then began breaking it down into individual assets as references for the new workflow.

Once we had reviewed how the current app functioned from a granular level, we set about adding in additional workflows and familiar logic to the app to enhance the user experience. 

The next stage involved creating a wireframe of the app’s layout and functionality. This is a preliminary low-fidelity design and represents the basic structure and content of the app’s user interface, normally without any colors, graphics or images.

Using the newly created style guide, we created all the graphic elements , icons and assets for the new layout and composition. We added in animation and transitions to create a more immersive experience.

We packaged all of our assets and wireframes together and imported them into our protyping application to create a high-fidelity working version.

This is an important final stage as it allowed our designers and external stakeholders to test and validate the product’s usability, functionality and user experience collaboratively.

After a few minor tweaks, we arrived at our final version with sign off from Willbox.

We packaged the assets together and exported them with all the relevant CSS code for the development team to implement. We also shared the fully functioning prototype as a reference point.

Marketing Collateral

Creating Amazon storefront product images.

Aside from their intuitive self-writing will app, Willbox also offer a hard copy will which can be purchased through their Amazon storefront. 

We created a series of images to underpin the fantastic benefits of purchasing their hardcopy will, which also included free access to the Willbox app for a full year.

Mobile App Wireframe

Wireframes typically consist of simple sketches or diagrams that illustrate the placement of various elements such as buttons, text, forms, images and menus, as well as the flow of screens and interactions between different features of the app.

Wireframes are usually created at the early stages of the app development process to help designers and developers better understand the user experience and make informed decisions about the app’s design and functionality.

SSL Certificate

An SSL certificate (Secure Socket Layer) is a digital certificate that is used to secure data transferred between a web server and a web browser.

When a website has an SSL certificate installed, it allows for a secure and encrypted connection between the web server and the browser, protecting sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card information and personal data from being intercepted by unauthorised parties.

Web Hosting

Web hosting is a service that allows individuals and organisations to make their website accessible to the internet. We provide server space where website files are stored and make them available to the public through the internet.

When someone types in your website’s address in their web browser, the browser sends a request to the web server where the website is hosted, which then delivers the website’s files to the user’s browser

Accent Colours

In design terms, an accent color is used to draw attention to specific elements of a layout such as a mobile app, webpage or presentation.

It is typically a contrasting color that stands out against the main color scheme of the page and is used (sparingly) to highlight important elements.

Brand Equity

Brand equity refers to the value and perception that a brand holds in the minds of consumers.

It is a set of intangible assets that result in a brand being recognised and preferred by customers over other brands. Brand equity is the sum of a brand’s awareness, associations, perceived quality, loyalty and other brand assets.

It is a critical measure of a brand’s overall strength and ability to generate revenue, as it enables the brand to charge premium prices, maintain market share and extend its product lines.

Website Indexing

Website indexing is the process by which search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo! collect and store information about a website in their database. This information includes the content on a website, the keywords that are associated with the website, and the links that lead to and from the website.

Website indexing is crucial for search engine optimization (SEO) because it determines whether a website can be found by users searching for relevant keywords.

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy refers to energy that is generated from natural resources that are replenished over time and can be continuously harnessed. Examples of renewable energy sources include sunlight, wind, water (hydro), geothermal and biomass.

Unlike non-renewable energy sources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), which are finite and non-renewable, renewable energy sources are considered sustainable because they do not deplete over time and are less harmful to the environment.

Style Guide

A style guide (or brand guidelines) is a document that outlines the rules and guidelines for creating and maintaining the visual identity of a brand or project.

It’s a set of instructions so to speak, that designers follow to ensure consistency in the designs across all communication channels.

A style guide typically includes information on typography, color palettes, imagery, iconography and other visual elements.

Conversion Ratio

A conversion ratio is a key indicator of website performance that measures the number of visitors who take a desired action, such as purchasing a product, filling out a form, or subscribing to a service.

This ratio is determined by the number of visitors who complete the desired action divided by the total number of website visitors.

For example, if a website receives 1000 visitors in a month and 50 of them make a purchase, the conversion ratio would be 5%. This measurement is crucial for understanding customer behavior and optimising business performance.

Our team constantly monitors conversion ratios to identify areas that require improvement for enhanced online success. By consistently tracking these metrics, we can make informed decisions and help you achieve your business goals.

CMS Platform

A CMS platform, or Content Management System platform, is a software application framework that enables the creation, management and organisation of digital content for websites or other online platforms.

It provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to easily create, edit and publish content online.

WordPress is a popular CMS platform and used by over 43% of all websites on the internet.

Organic Traffic

Organic traffic are the visitors that come to your website through unpaid, natural, or organic search engine results. These are the visitors who find your website by entering relevant keywords into a search engine like Google, Bing, or Yahoo and clicking on the search engine results that match their query.

When a website ranks high in search engine results for certain keywords, it is more likely to receive organic traffic.

This is because users tend to click on the top results displayed by search engines and organic traffic represents those clicks.

Customer touchpoints are critical for shaping the overall customer experience and can significantly impact customer satisfaction, loyalty and perception of a brand.

Algorithm Changes

Algorithms are sets of rules and calculations that platforms use to determine the order and visibility of posts and content.

An algorithm change is when modifications or updates are made by social media platforms and search engines that determine what content is shown to users in their feeds or search results.

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google regularly update their algorithms to improve user experience, promote relevant and engaging content and combat spam or misuse.
