The Problem

M&E Trading, a Nairobi-based construction company, had a strong track record of delivering high-quality projects but struggled to translate that credibility online. Their existing site was text-heavy, fragmented, and didn’t tell a cohesive story about their end-to-end offering. Visitors couldn’t quickly understand their services, proof of work, or why M&E was a trusted partner. This made it harder to win over potential clients who rely on a company’s digital presence as a first impression.

My Approach

To transform M&E’s website into a compelling point of presence that reflected their professionalism, I focused on:

  • Clarifying the narrative — Reframed copy around their full-service construction offering, highlighting credibility, safety, and reliability.

  • Structuring the journey — Organized services, past projects, and proof into a logical flow that made it easy for users to understand capabilities and explore further.

  • Visual credibility — Introduced high-quality project imagery and a consistent visual system to communicate trust and scale.

  • User-centered experience — Designed a responsive Squarespace site that made it easy for clients to get information quickly — whether on desktop or mobile.

The Impact

🏗️ Stronger credibility online — The site now reflects M&E’s expertise and professionalism, helping build trust with potential clients.
🌐 Clearer service positioning — Prospects can now easily understand M&E’s end-to-end offering, from planning to project delivery.
📈 Fuel for growth — With a cohesive story and modern design, the site is now a tool for winning new projects and building long-term client relationships.

Final Designs



Key Learnings

📖 Storytelling is as important as visuals — For service businesses, a clear narrative can be the difference between being overlooked and being trusted.

🧩 Consistency builds confidence — Aligning design, copy, and structure created a seamless experience that matched the quality of M&E’s work.

I've walked with Wangui from curious blank canvas to incredible leader, stepping into her super power. We've worked together for 4 years and Wangui has done a lot! She blossomed when she brought our investment platform to life - she designed, managed engineers, managed partners and put out beautiful communications for our customers.

As a software engineer, I've worked with Wangui bringing various products to life. I've watched her grow & really improve her UX/UI and design thinking skills.

She is thoughtful during dev handoff, which is always much appreciated.
I couldn't recommend her enough.

Your response time was really good, like edits could be made almost real time. Which is good for review and any changes that needed to be made. I think you’re also very keen on hearing what I wanted and brought it to life very well.

Good eye and keen eye to detail. Would recommend 😀
