Project Overview

Hassett approached Natalie to update their website to include the firms new branding, boost SEO, minimise unnecessary pages and add videos to their webiste.

Key Themes And Styles

New Brand Styles + Website Refresh

The Hassett Team expressed they wanted a full website refresh. They’d been working with a graphic designer and simplified their brand styles to reflect their Degraves Street location in Melbourne.

New Images

Hassett only had stock images on their website and they wanted new images of their new office and staff. They had new staff start, and some leave since their last team photos.

Jobs Assignments

As Hassett is a recruitment agency they wanted to show new jobs on their website and allow candidates to apply for these jobs, with a doc, pdf or video.

Calls to Action

The Hassett Team told me that their old website doesn’t make it easy for their clients or candidates to contact them, and wanted to make this process easier.

What I Did

1. Development

I created a beautiful clean easy-to-navigate layout for the Hassett team that showed their new brand colours, style and personality. I built their website using WordPress as it allows them to easily self-manage their website, something they expressed they wanted to do. I trained the team on how to use the WordPress CMS to update their website content.

2. Apply Branding

Hassett went through a re-brand prior to engaging with me, I created a layout that presented their information clearly and also showed their brand personality. As their brand colours are black and white, I introduced some grey hues to soften the website so it felt warm and welcoming, like you feel when you meet the team.

I hired a photographer to take photos of the team and office to use across their website. These images really helped to show Hassett’s personality and their Degraves st vibe.

3. SEO Boost

Hassett had an established SEO presence on search engines, but they wanted it to increase so they could attract more of their ideal audience. I optimised their website page copy and set up pages correctly for SEO.

All their new images were optimised using thier keywords to attract more website visitors, clients and candidates.

4. Features

For their website I created two call to action buttons on the front page so visitors can find the information they want as quickly as possible. There is a “Call the Team” button and a “Visit the Assignments page” button.

Every page has a contact form and clients can sign up to their newsletter to so they can see new jobs once they’re uploaded.

Plus, adding “upload a video resume” option, so their candidate’s job application stood out in comparision to other applicants.

The Results
