Forthright Design
A Creative Agency Website Smoother than Fine Wine
Our Client & Challenge
Forthright is a San Francisco creative agency that specializes in high-end branding, graphic design and packaging design for the wine and spirits industry. When we first met Chris Hayes, the principal, we just knew we were going to work together. Since then Chris has referred us numerous wine clients who have hired us for web design, web development, and web maintenance.
Chris needed someone to bring his vision to life. With two decades of design expertise, he knew he needed a custom responsive WordPress website that properly showcased his portfolio and allowed him to share his thought leadership about the alcoholic beverages industry.
Website Features
Easily Scannable & Updatable News
Research says that only 20% of visitors read past headlines so creating a mobile-friendly, scannable and up-to-date news section was paramount. We accomplished this by using their branding colors and fonts to create a clear hierarchy.
A Portfolio that Speaks Volumes
A custom portfolio was custom coded like and index of engaging case studies. Each portfolio piece had information about their client and process accompanied by photos of the final products.
A Blog Loaded Drunk with Personality
We built a lightweight blog that works seamlessly across all mobile devices loaded with unique content to boost search engine rankings for industry specific keywords.
