Helping the Cromwood Group with expand their brand.

the project

Cromwood Group partner with local landlords and housing authorities to provide ready-to-let properties for councils to use for social housing. In business over 15 years, the company had expanded, offering additional services. To promote their new company structure and the three specific service areas, the Cromwood team had decided to rebrand. Our task was to guide the evolution from current to new brand, with a fresh approach to the logo and a new all encompassing website.

  1. planning

    This project included both a design update as well as four new websites. Planning was vital. We agreed on several milestones, clearly defining each team's work.`

  2. work cycle

    While the Cromwood team worked on content, we began with the brand redesign which established a direction for the design of the sites. Reviews and iterations kept work on track and continued during the development of the setup.

  3. launch

    The new portal was launched with information on the group and linking to the three sites of the sub-companies.
