As Aramid Technologies set sail on their mission to revolutionize global supply chains, they recognized the pivotal role their inaugural website would play. It wasn’t just about establishing a digital presence; it was a magnet for investors and new customers. Understanding the need for a seamless blend of branding and functionality, Lonni Kieffer turned to us to bring Aramid and SmartCert® to life online.
Our collaboration wasn’t just about building a website; it was about creating an immersive brand experience that would captivate stakeholders, laying the groundwork for Aramid’s ascent in the industry, culminating in their successful acquisition of $2 million in seed funding.
/ The Website
The art of crafting an unforgettable brand experience starts with strategic insight. We started with brand strategy workshops with Tim and the TRICO team to shape the brand story—figuring out who they are, who their ideal customers are, and how they all fit together in the brand ecosystem.
Identifying the needs of the TRICO customer base was pivotal in creating meaningful brand touchpoints. Through various exercises, we got to know the TRICO customer and matched their needs with the values and identity of the brand, ultimately leading us to positioning TRICO as the gold standard in residential painting services—setting them apart in an overly saturated industry and showcasing their true essence.

/ The Logo
We wanted for each logo option to embody the three core brand attributes: modern, bold, and clean. While all presented options were suitable for the brand, the final choice hinged on the design style Tim and the TRICO team envisioned as the primary focus. Ultimately, they were drawn back time and again to the golden split-inspired wordmark, ensuring not only a visually striking design but also the proper pronunciation of the company name.

/ The Style Guide
We knew Tim would be overseeing various projects and potentially collaborating with outside vendors for merchandise design and other collateral. We also wanted him to feel fully equipped to confidently represent the TRICO brand.
To ensure brand consistency and clarity, we developed an in-depth style guide that covers everything and lays out exactly how to present the brand—from voice and messaging, to logo usage and photography style.
/ Website Design & Development
Pulling it all together, we crafted a bespoke website to position TRICO as the leading authority in residential painting services while staying true to the brand’s mission, vision, and core values. Our objective was to ensure that the site stands out distinctly from other local painting contractors, delivering a unique and unforgettable online experience.
The custom-built website features original photography, videography, iconography, and graphics—all meticulously tailored to reflect TRICO’s identity and elevate the overall brand experience. Additionally, we developed a custom color web form and personalized blog section to further engage visitors and provide valuable resources and insights.
/ Digital Marketing & Advertising
Following the successful launch of TRICO PAINTING’s new website, our digital marketing teams kicked into high gear, producing remarkable outcomes. Through targeted SEO strategies and ongoing optimization efforts, TRICO PAINTING’s online presence skyrocketed. Their website climbed the ranks on Google, capturing top positions for numerous industry-relevant keywords, totaling an impressive 6,854.
We also saw a steady increase in their Domain Authority (DA) further solidifying their online authority. These achievements translated into increased visibility and brand recognition, driving sustained growth in organic traffic and goal completions.

Utilizing Aramid’s established brand colors from their logo design, we expanded upon them by incorporating complementary colors into their primary palette. These hues are showcased in the diverse graphic motifs and gradients, adding depth and sophistication to their otherwise corporate palette.
