The Challenge
For almost 30 years Riskcare have been at the forefront of Fintech innovation, delivering world-class trading and risk technology.
The clients old website was not very efficient and as a result had issues page speed and up time. In addition, there were some accessibility issues with contrast and small text.
The client also felt it was too wordy and wasn't succeeding in getting the clients message across.
Our Approach
Through a series of meetings on Zoom we worked with the client to to define which pages to keep and which to remove and where everything would sit within the site. This enabled us to produce the new sitemap which in turn lead us to the wireframing stage.
We wireframed all the key pages within the site so the client was kept up to date on progress and we could easily change the layout before moving onto the high fidelity designs.
In the design stage we were careful to avoid the accessibility issues of the old website. A good level of contrast was used throughout with well-sized text and all the usual technical considerations such as alt attributes, semantically correct mark-up etc.
Using a more up to date version of ConcreteCMS and building the site from the ground up to be much more efficient, the new site is fast and less text-heavy to put across key messages to users.
Results
The project has been a huge success in the following ways...
- Sharp new design, which is a great "brochure" for the company
- Improved Accessibility, easier to read, quicker to scan
- New website more closely matches branding changes
- Great mobile experience
- New site is now stable and doesn't "crash" like the old site often did

I am Chief Executive of a charity. When I took over our website crashed and we lost all our data. We switched hosts to Made Simple Media, took on a brand new CMS and we have never looked back. Dave was fantastic then and remains so. Always approachable, quick to respond and great tools to help you on your way.

We are delighted with the quality of our new website, which has enabled us to effectively communicate our various areas of work and build an engaged and increasingly active audience. The common-sense design and easy-to-navigate structure has also helped us establish our organisational identity following a full rebrand in 2017. The support has been excellent throughout.
