SideRoad Consulting - Strategic HR Project
Client: SideRoad Consulting
Industry: Human Resources Consulting / Professional Services
Project Type: Website Design
My Role: UI/UX Designer
Tools: Figma
Timeline: One month, June 2025
Background
SideRoad Consulting specializes in helping companies navigate complex HR initiatives with precision. They offer services in HR project management, advisory and staff augmentation, and system configuration. The client needed a modern, engaging, and strategic website to reflect their expertise and help potential clients quickly understand the value they provide.

The Challenge
SideRoad faced three main challenges:
Communicating Complex Services Simply – Their offerings are nuanced and strategic, and required clear, non-jargon-heavy explanations.
Building Trust Quickly – Since SideRoad is often brought in during high-stakes moments, it was critical to immediately establish credibility and approachability.
Optimizing for Conversion – The site needed to funnel users toward making contact without overwhelming them with information.
Design Objectives
Develop a visually engaging and strategic layout that echoes the idea of “taking the smarter route.”
Organize content to clearly explain service areas and highlight the benefits of SideRoad’s approach.
Ensure a user-centric experience with strong calls-to-action and clear next steps.

Who we are

Solutions
Solution & Execution
Using Figma, I designed a responsive website that brings SideRoad’s brand and mission to life:
1. The Journey
The homepage opens with a bold image of a mountain road, symbolizing strategic direction and confident navigation. This aligns perfectly with the brand’s promise to guide clients through complex HR projects.
2. Clear Service Breakdown
I structured the services section into three digestible blocks:
HR Project Management
Advisory & Staff Augmentation
HR System Config & Build
Each block includes a short summary and a CTA button, making it easy for users to understand and take action.
3. Trust-Building Elements
The mid-page group photo evokes teamwork and friendliness.
A global map visual reinforces SideRoad’s reach and adaptability.
FAQs answer common objections and show empathy for client challenges.
4. Calls to Action
Throughout the site, I placed clear “Get in Touch” and “Let’s Go” buttons to encourage inquiries without hard-selling. The yellow CTA section at the bottom is designed to leave a lasting impression and motivate users to act.
