Evissa required a digital presence that better reflected the breadth and depth of their sustainable building and architecture practice. Evolving the user experience of the website was an exercise in surfacing Evissa’s compelling value proposition, credibility, and reputation as leaders in Australia’s passivhaus vanguard. Evissa’s new website launched in mid-2023, bringing their refreshed brand identity to life through dynamic motion, bold colour, and expressive interaction.
