Lockstep Technology Group | Works Progress Design

rebranding

Lockstep Technology Group, an Atlanta-based IT company, deals in rather complex, enterprise-level solutions. Their name, inspired by the mechanical uniform movement of large-scale military units, was an apt choice. Humans creating flawless systems across large institutions. Their logo design offers a subtle suggestion to this movement and organization.

overcomplicated, underwhelming

Highly technical brands often find themselves talking-the-talk in order to demonstrate expertise. Case in point, Lockstep’s old site hit the ground running touting “endpoint protection, application-aware firewalls, and resource auditing” as soon as you landed on the site. But jargon overload combined with low-level imagery can make for a very unengaging experience.

Even if you’re in a highly specialized technical field, your communication should focus on human emotions to connect. It should put people at ease, not on edge. Even a simple shift from “Manage IT security threats” to “IT that empowers and secures” is a big change emotionally. It’s positive, reassuring, and relationship-building.

now engaging with empathy

The new site is a comprehensive sales tool designed to engage, support, and convert by looking at things from the customer’s perspective and answering their fundamental question, “Will this work for me?” The visitor can see at a glance whether this is the right solution for them, find case studies to support it, and reassurance that Lockstep is the right team to implement it.
