Case Study: Kennedy & Company Website Redesign

Overview

Kennedy & Company is a higher education consulting firm that partners with universities and graduate schools to strengthen enrollment, optimize financial aid, and drive long-term institutional growth. Their previous WordPress website had become difficult to manage and no longer reflected their bold, innovative brand. They needed a modern digital presence that would communicate expertise, generate leads, and stand out against national competitors.

My Role

Led the full website redesign and rebuild
Migrated content and structure from WordPress to Webflow
Designed 20+ static pages and CMS templates in Figma and implemented them in Webflow
Ensured SEO preservation, HubSpot form migration, and blog transfer

Challenges

Outdated WordPress site with limited design flexibility
Poor SEO structure and slow performance
Navigation focused on the company rather than client needs
Needed a design that felt sharp, bold, and credible while staying accessible

Solution

Strategic Redesign: Reorganized navigation around client pain points (e.g., enrollment, revenue growth, strategic planning) rather than internal service labels.
Webflow Migration: Delivered a fast, maintainable site that enables Kennedy & Company’s team to manage updates without developer dependency.
SEO & Forms: Preserved existing SEO equity, migrated HubSpot forms, and ensured blog content was seamlessly integrated.
Modern Visual System: Designed a crisp, clean aesthetic on par with top consulting firms, with bold typography and refined layouts.

Results

A modern, client-focused website that builds trust and credibility in the higher-ed market
Improved site performance and search visibility, supporting ongoing lead generation
Scalable CMS structure, enabling the firm to expand insights, case studies, and service offerings with ease
A digital presence that aligns with Kennedy & Company’s mission to deliver innovative consulting solutions for universities and graduate programs
