Challenge

HVPE’s website had served the business well since its launch in March 2022. However, built on Umbraco 8, the platform’s limitations were becoming apparent. Delivering the polished, engaging experience expected of a modern investment brand was increasingly difficult. A more future-ready solution was needed.

Solution

Our approach centred on Iglu, Emperor’s best-practice design system. The result is a flexible and intuitive platform that puts content presentation firmly in HVPE’s control. Fully aligned with brand guidelines and AA accessibility standards, Iglu’s modular ‘Building Blocks’ allow HVPE to assemble rich, dynamic pages quickly and confidently - without compromising consistency or quality. As part of the redesign, we also restructured the site to provide a more intuitive and informative experience for users.

Outcome

The new HVPE website delivers a lighter, modern, and cleaner design that reflects the strength and credibility of the brand. Built on Iglu, the platform is designed for longevity, balancing robust design standards with the flexibility required to support future content and business needs.
