Fortz Legal is more than a service provider; it’s a dependable partner for many law firms and court reporters in Michigan. Although Fortz operates as a nationwide firm, what truly sets Fortz apart is its home office in Grand Rapids and its services to the local legal community. This Michigan-based presence ensures everything is handled with exceptional care, punctuality, and unwavering reliability

  • Role

    • Redesigned the Brand Identity: Restructured and expanded the brand beyond a logo and basic color palette, providing supporting identifying elements like color systems and typefaces.

    • Design for Users: Overhauled the design of important client materials like scheduling forms and price sheets to improve legibility and user experience.

    Challenge

    • Design without Direction: Prior to my role, the website and physical materials were designed with loose guidelines, resulting in a disorganized amount of assets that required updates.

    Approach

    • Organize and Prioritize: Categorized marketing materials and web pages to create an ease-of-use workspace and first targeted areas with the highest traffic of users.

    • Rebuild the Foundation: Created strict systems of typography (header/paragraph tags) and utilized simple blocks to allow users to easily submit forms and understand information.

    Outcome

    • Reliable and Consistent Brand: Once a solid identity system and main deliverables were developed, it built more recognition within the industry and allowed the company to scale while preserving integrity.
