HRB Advisors

Redesign using approved company information, services, founder details, and testimonials.

SmartDesign case study

About the project

HRB Advisors is read by prospects assessing whether the firm and its founder are credible enough to contact.

Approved company information, services, founder detail, and testimonials needed a hierarchy that made the positioning obvious at a glance.

An editorial page with a stated positioning line, a clear service structure, and one conversion path.

Scope

  • Website redesign
  • Positioning line and hero composition
  • Service structure
  • Founder and testimonial presentation
  • Responsive design

Design premise

State the position in the first line. Everything after it is evidence, ordered from service structure to founder to approved testimonials.

Motion concept

Device transition from handheld to full desktop field

HRB Advisors page used as the motion study frame

01 · Trigger. Handheld frame, positioning line already legible.

One shared image transitions between a handheld frame and the full desktop field: the frame width, corner radius, and crop animate together while the positioning line holds its position. Because it is a single element, the transition reads as the same page rather than two screenshots.

  2. 02ConstructionFrame begins widening, rules and margins reposition.
  3. 03MovementCrop opens out as the corner radius relaxes.
  4. 04Resolved stateFull desktop field, positioning line unmoved.
  5. 05PurposeThe positioning line is the argument, and it has to survive every screen size. The transition demonstrates that the stated position stays in the same place while the field around it changes.
