Windsor Prime is equipping its teams and future recruits with the digital experience they expect: a fast, intuitive public website that tells a clear story, and a secure portal that keeps consultants connected to knowledge, tools, and colleagues wherever they’re working. Following a competitive three-way pitch, Grafdom has been appointed to deliver both — a comprehensive website redesign and a modern consultant portal — on an accelerated three-month timetable.
Project Overview
Grafdom, the internet solutions company, has won a three-way pitch to work with Windsor Prime, a Europe-based management consultancy, on internal and external internet development. The brief will include the redesign of the corporate website, concentrating on introducing potential clients and recruits to Windsor Prime’s capabilities, approach, values, and experience. The site architecture will be overhauled to make customer experience, usability, and navigation both quick and easy, and the corporate brand and identity will be refreshed with a cohesive new look and feel across the site.
In addition to the external website, a project to design and build a corporate portal to support Windsor Prime’s consultants will be undertaken. The portal will upgrade and improve Windsor Prime’s current remote-site capabilities and will deliver a range of services, applications, corporate communication tools, and support to consultants. An offshore third-party supplier will integrate the portal with new and existing back-end applications. The redevelopment work on the two projects will take place over three months.
What the New Corporate Website Will Deliver
The redesigned windsorprime.com is being structured to help prospective clients and recruits quickly understand what makes the consultancy different — and to find what they need without friction.
- Clear value propositions and service pages that connect capabilities to real client outcomes.
- Improved information architecture so visitors can navigate by industry, service, or challenge in fewer clicks.
- A refreshed brand identity with consistent typography, color, and imagery that reflect Windsor Prime’s values and experience.
- Performance and accessibility upgrades aimed at faster load times, mobile responsiveness, and WCAG-aligned accessibility.
- Content pathways for candidates, including culture, benefits, and role-specific journeys aligned to recruitment goals.
- Search engine optimization foundations, including structured metadata, clean URLs, and schema where appropriate to improve discoverability.
Inside the Consultant Portal
The new corporate portal is designed to reduce scattered systems and put everyday tools at consultants’ fingertips — securely and reliably.
- Centralized knowledge base with version control so teams access the latest playbooks, case studies, and templates.
- Collaboration spaces that streamline project communication, file sharing, and updates across engagements.
- Integrated access to business applications — such as time and expense, CRM, and proposal management — in one authenticated experience.
- Corporate communications hub for announcements, events, and leadership updates that keep distributed teams aligned.
- Role-based permissions and single sign-on to simplify access while maintaining security.
- Mobile-first design with offline-friendly capabilities for consultants on client sites or traveling.
Integration and Security
An offshore third-party supplier will integrate the portal with Windsor Prime’s new and existing back-end applications, ensuring continuity and data integrity across systems. Best-practice measures anticipated within the brief include:
- Standards-based APIs and event-driven integration for reliable data flow between systems.
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with strong identity and access management policies.
- Audit trails and logging to support governance and compliance requirements.
- Performance monitoring to maintain fast, resilient access for field teams.
Timeline and Milestones
The combined redevelopment is scheduled across a three-month window. A typical roadmap for a program of this scope includes:
- Discovery and planning: stakeholder interviews, content audit, portal requirements, and technical mapping.
- Experience design: user journeys, information architecture, wireframes, and branded UI design.
- Build and integration: website templates, CMS configuration, portal modules, and back-end integrations.
- Content production and migration: updated messaging, media, and knowledge assets; redirects and SEO checks.
- Testing and hardening: accessibility, performance, security, and user acceptance testing.
- Launch and enablement: cutover plan, training for editors and consultants, and post-launch optimization.
Why This Matters for Clients and Recruits
- Clients gain faster access to relevant expertise, case studies, and points of contact, improving the path from interest to engagement.
- Prospective recruits can understand Windsor Prime’s culture, values, and impact through clear, honest storytelling and role-specific content.
- Consultants benefit from streamlined tools, fewer logins, and a reliable knowledge backbone that strengthens delivery quality.
- Leadership gains better visibility into communications and operations, helping scale best practices across teams.
Design and Experience Principles Guiding the Work
- User-first architecture: organize content by the way clients and candidates search, not by internal org charts.
- Accessibility and inclusivity: aim for WCAG-aligned experiences that work for everyone, on any device.
- Performance and reliability: optimize Core Web Vitals and build for low-bandwidth conditions common during travel.
- Editorial governance: define content owners, review cadences, and style guides so pages stay current.
- Measurable outcomes: track engagement, conversions, portal adoption, and content effectiveness to inform continuous improvement.
What the Teams Are Saying
Scott Wade, Operations Director at Grafdom, said: “Windsor Prime is a unique consultancy with a strong reputation among its clients, and these redevelopments are grounded in a deep understanding of how Windsor Prime and its consultants work. Our design and build of cost-effective solutions will enhance and reinforce relationships with their existing and prospective clients, while supporting ongoing recruitment activities.”
Alan Whitehouse, Marketing & Communications Manager at Windsor Prime, said: “We need to ensure our consultants have full access to our knowledge base, collaboration tools, and business applications. The portal will help consultants stay in touch with Windsor Prime and provide additional off-site support when working with clients. The rebuilt corporate website will strengthen our online brand and present a more complete picture of what differentiates us for clients and potential recruits.”

How to Choose the Right Partner for an Internet Development Brief
- Look for sector understanding: partners should map your client and candidate journeys before proposing solutions.
- Prioritize governance and security: ask how content, permissions, and data flows will be governed post-launch.
- Insist on measurable KPIs: align on targets for engagement, conversion, portal adoption, and performance.
- Plan for integration early: involve IT and third-party integrators during discovery to avoid rework.
- Ensure enablement: training, documentation, and a 60–90 day optimization plan can make or break outcomes.
Measuring Success After Launch
- Website: time to value (how fast users reach key pages), bounce rate on service pages, application starts for recruits, qualified lead submissions.
- Portal: active users, depth of use (tools per session), search success rate in the knowledge base, and time saved on common tasks.
- Brand and trust: accessibility scores, page speed metrics, and consistency of brand elements across templates.
