DESIGN DECISIONS

Built to be found, designed to convert.

The site needed to reflect the quality of Media Monty's work while making it effortless for potential clients to take the next step. Every decision was made with both in mind.

Conversion-led Hero Section

The hero leads with a bold, conversion-focused headline and two clear CTAs: one to view the work, one to start a project.

WHY

The hero sets the tone for everything that follows. The language was written with conversion and SEO in mind: clear, direct and keyword-rich, so the site works for visitors arriving organically and those referred directly.

01

Leading with Credibility

A client logo strip placed early on the homepage, featuring recognisable names from across Media Monty's portfolio.

WHY

For a video production company, the names behind the work carry as much weight as the work itself. Recognisable logos build immediate credibility and signal the calibre of clients Media Monty works with; before a visitor has even scrolled to the services.

02

Launching Media Monty Presents

A dedicated homepage section introducing Media Monty Presents as a new standalone service, anchored by the first published interview embedded directly on the page.

WHY

Launching a new service needs more than a menu link. Featuring it on the homepage with a real video does two things at once: introduces the service and immediately demonstrates the quality of the output.

03

A Visual-First Services Grid

Services are presented in a bento-style card grid: varied sizes, image-led, with alternating navy and teal backgrounds. Each card links to a dedicated service page.

WHY

A grid of image-led cards reflects the visual nature of the industry while keeping the layout modern and scannable. The bento format creates natural hierarchy: drawing the eye to featured services without overwhelming the visitor.

04

Transparent Pricing

Each service page includes three clearly structured pricing tiers: name, price, what's included, add-ons and a direct Book Now CTA.

WHY

Pricing transparency removes one of the biggest barriers to contact. Structured tiers help clients self-select the right package and arrive at the conversation already informed: reducing friction and improving conversion.

05

Three Paths to Contact

The contact page offers three options: a simple form for early-stage enquiries, a multi-step project form for clients with a brief ready, and a Calendly button for direct meeting booking.

WHY

A single contact form puts the burden on the visitor to figure out what to say. Separating the options removes that friction: a simple form for those still figuring it out, a detailed project form for those ready to brief, and a direct booking for those who just want to talk.

MOODBOARD

Research into modern creative agencies and production companies informed the visual direction: ensuring the final design felt current and competitive in an industry where first impressions determine whether a potential client stays or leaves.

STRUCTURE & INTERACTION

STRUCTURE & INTERACTION

The site was planned across six core sections: Services, Case Studies, About Us, Media Monty Presents, Contact, and a Homepage designed to tie it all together.


Low-fidelity wireframes then translated that structure into layout and interaction, establishing how each page would function before any visual design began.

VISUAL IDENTITY

A digital refinement of Media Monty's existing brand: adapting colour, typography and UI components for screen. The visual language needed to feel creative enough to appeal to ambitious brands, while remaining trustworthy and professional for the core client base.

Case Study Template

A clean, editorial layout with alternating full-width imagery and text sections creates a natural reading flow for every case study.

The embedded video at the results stage lands at the moment a potential client is most convinced, turning the page into a direct demonstration of the work rather than a description of it.

BUILDING THE WEBSITE

Wordpress + Elementor

WordPress was chosen for its flexibility and widespread familiarity, giving the client a platform they could manage independently from day one. Elementor Pro's visual builder allowed the design to be translated into code with precision, keeping the final result as close to the original designs as possible.


A custom CMS was set up to make content management straightforward: new case studies, service pages and content can be added without touching a single line of code. This gives Media Monty a website they can grow at their own pace, without relying on a developer for every update.
