Refreshing Silicon Valley Wealth Management

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Sand Hill Website Redesign

When Sand Hill Global Advisors wanted to update its brand and digital presence, they turned to the hands-on, high touch approach of Clear Digital. And it made all the difference. From an updated logo, to a fresh voice, to a state-of-the-art website design, the company got a new look and feel that exemplifies who they are and what they bring to their clients.

Responsive and future ready.

As a Silicon Valley firm, Sand Hill wanted to make sure that it’s presence was equally as powerful regardless of the kind of device their visitors rely on. The new site looks great on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile.

A brand refresh.

Our work with Sand Hill started at the most foundational levels — the logo and brand messaging. By updating to a more modern look and recasting their message and voice to position them as the relatable experts that clients can count on, we established a visual and verbal approach that guided every aspect of the update.

Illustrations and infographics.

While the company’s previous site was text heavy and a little wonkish, Sand Hill wanted the new site to feel sophisticated and relatable. They wanted a highly visual and engaging way to capture the Sand Hill client experience. The answer was a fun, illustrative style and an interactive client journey that made understanding their services easy and appealing.

Looks like a thought leader.

As long-time bloggers, Sand Hill had plenty of content to work with. The challenge was to make it more accessible and update the look. We redesigned the blog and enabled multiple entry points – from the home page, advisor bios, and the blog page itself – to improve the experience.

Make it pop with motion graphics.

One of the Sand Hill team’s favorite things about the new site is all of the motion graphics that got included. From animations to background video, everywhere you look visitors can find something unexpected and engaging.
