Case Study

Consulting firm digital presence

A concept website for a management consulting firm — designed to establish credibility, communicate service areas clearly, showcase methodology, and provide a client-facing dashboard for project updates, replacing an unstructured word-of-mouth-only presence.

Main challengeThe firm had no website — prospective clients searching online found nothing to validate the firm's expertise
OutputThe business now has a digital presence that validates expertise before the first conversation

Business context

A management consulting firm had built its client base entirely through referrals but had zero digital presence. Prospective clients who searched the firm's name found nothing — no services, no methodology, no evidence of expertise — and were choosing competitors with professional websites instead.

The challenge

The firm had no website — prospective clients searching online found nothing to validate the firm's expertise
Service areas were communicated verbally in meetings but had no structured documentation accessible to prospects
The firm's methodology and approach — key differentiators — were not articulated anywhere outside of proposals
Competitors with professional websites and structured content were winning clients who might otherwise have engaged the firm
Existing clients had no centralised way to track project progress or access deliverables between meetings

How Undertide approached it

Decision

Service architecture

Why it mattered

Each service area was given a dedicated section with clear positioning, scope description, and typical engagement structure. Visitors could understand what the firm offered, who it was for, and what an engagement looked like — without needing a meeting first.

Decision

Methodology presentation

Why it mattered

The firm's consulting methodology was documented and presented as a structured framework — showing prospective clients the rigour and process behind the work. This moved methodology from something explained in proposals to something visible before the first conversation.

Decision

Credentials and team

Why it mattered

Team profiles, qualifications, and relevant experience were presented to establish credibility. Rather than generic bios, each profile was structured around the specific expertise and sectors each team member brought to client engagements.

Decision

Client dashboard prototype

Why it mattered

A client-facing dashboard was designed to give existing clients visibility into project progress, deliverable timelines, and key milestones — reducing the need for status update meetings and providing transparency between formal check-ins.

What improved

Measurable and observable changes after launch:

The business now has a digital presence that validates expertise before the first conversation
Visitors can now understand service areas immediately without a meeting
The firm now has its methodology visible online, differentiating it from competitors
Visitors can now assess team credentials and build confidence before engaging
The business now has a client dashboard prototype for ongoing project transparency
Updates no longer require developer involvement — the firm manages content via CMS
Platform

Designed on a CMS with structured content fields for service areas, team profiles, and case studies. The client dashboard prototype demonstrates how project updates could be delivered through a secure client-facing interface — providing transparency without adding administrative overhead.
