SMPS San Diego Awards: 
✶ Best Website

/ OBJECTIVE

Six years after designing the SMPS San Diego “Best Website” for Bergelectric, it was time to redesign the site to help the company grow from 2800 to 3200 people.

/ IDEA

The new site uses video to attract talent and clients to the unique culture of the company. We increased the image sizes, added custom illustrations, new typography, and introduced a mobile-first navigation system for a seamless mobile and desktop experience.

/ OBJECTIVE

After completing brand strategy, messaging, and project descriptions, we designed SOQ and proposal templates. These looked so good, KSA hired us to redo their website.

The new website creates a better mobile experience, features the team, and shows off a curated global portfolio of homes.

/ IDEA

KSA already had a strong logo and color palette. With such powerful project photography, we kept the design of the website “quiet” so that their work, not ours, is what gets noticed.

/ PURPOSE

We love designing timeless homes and building lasting relationships.

The original website we designed for MWE in 2012 was dated, especially on mobile. As part of a larger marketing overhaul, we launched a new responsive website for a great experience on desktop, tablet and mobile.

C R E A T I V E  C O N C E P T

MWE already had a bold logo and color palette. We embraced the angle of the “3 sails” logo and the saturated red, yellow and black throughout the new site.

We are very happy with the site and get lots of positive feedback from clients, recruits, and employees. It’s been very beneficial to our business  especially during this time when we can’t interact with folks in person.”

T H R E E  U N I Q U E S

Lecoursdesign led a half-day workshop with firm leaders to generate a lengthy list, then narrow firm attributes to three unique differentiators:

Electrical Engineering – We are singularly focused on electrical engineering, not mechanical and plumbing.

Southern California – We understand the ins and outs of the Southern California marketplace.

We’ve Done That! – With deep expertise in a diverse range of electrical capabilities, it’s easy for us to say, “we’ve done that!”

P O S I T I O N I N G  S T A T E M E N T

From the three uniques, we developed a positioning statement that differentiates MWE from their competition.

After designing the two previous versions of the Psomas website, LecoursDesign were thrilled to have the opportunity to design and develop the latest iteration.

The site features a full-width design to immerse the visitor. An updated color palette complements the core brand colors. Custom icons were designed for the core services. A simplified design helps the photography and copywriting be more impactful.

From SC Builders’ Client

The new website looks AWESOME!!!!! It is honestly, hands down one of the best ones I’ve seen in the past few months. Vibrant, easy to read fonts, easy to move through it, great employee testimonials – I’m using it as an example for a couple clients in the next two weeks. Seriously – great job! I hope you get huge kudos and positive response because I was blown away. And I’ve seen a lot of websites.”

From a Prospective Hire

I was already familiar with SC Builders, but the website made it much easier for me to make the decision—it reinforced my decision. I’ve noticed that other construction companies have unclear or inconvenient websites with hodgepodge information, but I really appreciated your clear user interface. It felt like the content had a natural and logical flow. All the questions I had were answered.
