Project Overview

An intimate look at how our designers revamped the corporate image of Canada’s top managed web hosting company with a brand new logo design and custom website design.

Referencing Science to Tackle a Total Corporate Identity Rebrand

Carbon60 engaged our Toronto web designers at Parachute Design, to spearhead the complete overhaul of their corporate identity, logo design, and website design. This was no small task as the existing brand had not only served as the foundation of Canada’s top managed web hosting company for nearly 20 years, but the core concept and vision behind the existing brand was deeply rooted in the corporate culture. To make this project even more interesting, we were tasked with encompassing a number of different views and service offerings within the Carbon60 brand to speak more effectively to a variety of different audiences.

Fortunately, Parachute Design is not just a Toronto web design company; we have also been creating winning logo design and branding materials for businesses of all shapes and sizes for 15 years, both locally and nationally.

Carbon60 Logo Design

Through our initial strategy and design process, we worked closely with Carbon60 and their long-standing digital marketing agency to refine the core brand message and develop a theme based on the Carbon60 molecule, one that has served as the core of the company’s belief system since their inception in 1999. Drawing upon the properties of the Carbon60 molecule, we were able to help focus the brand design on the concepts of stability, flexibility, and efficiency. The development of this molecular, geometric theme was then carried throughout the new logo design, and the custom website design as well.

B2B Website Design Case Study for Carbon60

Custom Website Design

Parachute Design has many years experience in creating website design for technology companies across North America. Having an opportunity to collaborate with another digital marketing agency on a project of this scale was a great opportunity to expand our web design knowledge and create a complete online experience. Through this collaboration and a series of discovery sessions, we collectively redesigned the website information architecture to improve the overall user experience, as well as tackling some search engine optimization roadblocks that had existed within the original website.

As with many managed hosts today, Carbon60 has made the move to add highly specialised managed WordPress hosting as a core service offering. Throughout our brand development process, we slowly moved the corporate colour palette from a bright burning orange to a more familiar WordPress blue to bridge the gap between Carbon60’s platform and those more familiar with WordPress. To support the blue and also to respect the original brand, we included a subdued burnt orange in a supporting role to add some depth and create more opportunity and flexibility for additional marketing materials. The refined colour scheme offers a more confident, mature, and professional look to the refreshed corporate identity.

Once everyone was on board with the design strategy and plan of action, we moved forward and worked together to define a very crucial and specific goal for the new website design. We were no longer targeting general search terms such as “web hosting,” but now broadening the key service offering to a handful of highly specialised web services that needed to be targeted individually, and also help funnel users to the specific information they are seeking.

Responsive Web Design

A personal touch makes all the difference.

Mobile is a must.

Believe it or not, before our engagement with Carbon60 their website was not mobile-friendly. Having minimal user data to work with in this regard the Carbon60 team relied heavily on the tried and true experience of our Toronto web designers. The results post-launch proved to be extremely positive and helped drive Carbon60’s organic conversions immediately.

Since our initial deployment, we have collected monthly user data in order to make ongoing adjustments to the website furthering the organic performance and fostering lead generation.

Our approach was to create within the new website architecture a highly customized set of landing pages dedicated to each service and consumer type and then finely tailored to specific keywords, which could then branch out to secondary or related services.

Strategy in hand, we then got to work on creating a beautiful new website user interface incorporating the new identity and design theme throughout the wireframes. Paired with high impact and engaging imagery, the end result not only offered a much more contemporary, bold, and responsive web experience, but helped to solidify the company’s most important digital marketing tool as an industry benchmark, and inspire a new perceived level of buyer confidence.
