Apex Homes

Website redesign for renovation company in Dubai

A range of devices with the Apex Homes website.

Objective

Apex Homes provides a full package of quality villa renovations in Dubai, turning clients’ houses into dream homes they love inside and out. Between the two co-founders, they have supported more than 50 clients in optimising their properties, tailored to their unique lifestyles and redefining comfort and lifestyle.

I was introduced to Apex Homes in December 2023, as they had encountered issues with their existing website. As many do, they had built their website themselves, without a real strategy and plan other than getting their name and contact details on the web.

But when wanting to push lead generation, they struggled to implement the appropriate tracking codes etc. and found that it hadn’t been built with the future in mind.

After an initial assessment, I identified 4 main challenges:

  1. While sticking to a colour palette, the branding was limited
  2. The homepage did not state their what, who and how
  3. There was no clear Call to Action (CTA) on any pages
  4. The contact form didn’t refer to all their services

By analysing these challenges, I proposed a full website audit including new copy.

Objective

Website copy

After presenting an example of the updated homepage content, Apex decided to pay me to do the copy for the full website. My main focus was generating a tone of voice that matches their personalities and speaks to their high-end clients, putting their clients and their benefits at the centre of every message.

Here are a couple of examples of some before-and-after copy:

Branding the website

While a target audience I’m not particularly used to, I saw the high-end target group as a fun challenge. After conducting research and creating moodboards on high-end designs, I felt inspired to play around with their logo icon and colour palette.

Playing with angled shapes and lines, we were eventually left with elegant transitions and effects between the different sections and layout types.

Some of these angled layouts were of the more challenging layouts I’ve done coding wise, but that’s what I love about what I do. There’s always something new to learn, and what better way to do that than by going the extra mile for your clients!

Below, I’ve presented the old homepage, with limited information about what they do, who they are or anything else, and their new homepage. This shows a stronger brand identity, clearer services and what makes them unique, and a clear funnel to get their visitors to take action.
