Challenge
CNAR needed to modernize its digital presence without losing the trust, authority, and clarity it has built over decades. The existing Wix-based website was limited in flexibility, performance, and accessibility, creating friction for both internal updates and public access.
The challenge was to migrate all existing content to a new platform while improving structure, performance, and usability. The site had to meet accessibility standards, improve stakeholder experience, and ensure compatibility with future integrations.
EspioLabs was brought in to rebuild CNAR’s online platform from the ground up, using WordPress as a scalable, secure, and standards-driven solution.
Designing for Structure, Authority, and Usability
Rather than rebrand CNAR, our goal was to build on its trusted identity and elevate how that identity is presented online. The existing colour palette and logo were preserved while the visual structure and user pathways were fully rethought.
The design system emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and professionalism, supporting CNAR’s mission of regulatory transparency and cross-sector collaboration.
Colors
A refined palette grounded in confident, modern tones built to convey innovation, trust, and clarity.
- – Poppy (#B2292E) — Bold, energetic, and immediately memorable
- – Orient (#00538B) — Strong corporate reliability
- – Lynch (#62718D) — Neutral cool balance
- – Deep Bronze (#AF6D04) — Warm accent for emphasis
- – Tropical Green (#027B5F) — Fresh supportive tone
The palette combines authority and modern energy, scaling well across both brand and UI contexts.
