The Need
A Redesign Was Needed to
Clarify their Messaging

“Our website is pitching our business to
100-1000x more people than we do in
meetings. We basically wanted a facelift
that clarified the messaging. We needed to
better explain what we are offering and the

“
advantages of our product.”

We had quite a technical approach,
but we didn’t have enough visuals to
communicate what we were doing.

Karlsson built the company’s original
website himself using Webflow.com.
“I have a slight background in web develop-
ment, but I’m not a professional,” he said.
“We had quite a technical approach, but

Karpi Design Studio was chosen for their ad-

This translates into more website traffic, more conversions and a better user experience. Main-
