Onward Media
Onward Media Group is a Kitchener, Ontario-based media production company founded in 2022, specializing in cinematic video production including corporate storytelling, event coverage, podcasts, and product content.
As the team's client roster and body of work evolved, their website no longer reflected their current branding or the scope of their more recent projects. The redesign focused on updating the site to match Onward's evolving visual identity, with pages restructured to better highlight their specific service niches and showcase their latest work.

Problem
Onward Media Group's website no longer reflected their current work. Content was outdated, and their growing portfolio, spanning corporate storytelling, event coverage, and more, wasn't represented.



Before the Redesign

process
The process started by looking at a range of websites, noting what worked, and what didn't. A recurring pattern emerged: sites with the boldest, most experimental designs often sacrificed intuitiveness, making it harder for visitors to actually get in touch.
Since Onward's site needed to be client-driven, clarity had to come first. The challenge was keeping the design simple enough that the work itself stayed the focus.

Mid-Fidelity Prototype
With full creative control over the direction, decisions were made and tested against that core principle directly, rather than through multiple rounds of iteration.
RESULTS
A homepage built around a clear CTA, showcased client partnerships, and testimonials.
Videos open in a lightbox, letting visitors watch directly on the page instead of leaving the site.
The Products page walks visitors through Onward's product shot process: what's included, and what it costs.
The About page was rebuilt to give Onward's story and team the spotlight: clear, personal, and easy to connect with.
