Project Goals
Approachable Credibility with Multiple Language Translations
Founder and Owner, Nil Buckley, came to W&R looking to design a website and brand identity that visually represented the growth she helps her clients achieve, while also maintaining a strong and experienced feel to her overall brand visuals. As the only multi-language counseling agency in Colorado Springs, she also needed her website to easily flip between and English and Spanish, no matter where a reader was in their website experience.

Brand Collateral
Custom Gold Foil Business Cards
We designed Vivus’s business cards using Moo’s Gold Foil Business cards. In an industry where a lot of print materials are still heavily used, creating items that would stand out from the sea of other cards or print items on a judge’s desk would help Vivus make a more quality first impression.
Custom Language Translations
We custom designed a smooth page-by-page Spanish translation of the English website, allowing Spanish speaking visitors and potential clients to engage with the website in their preferred language. At any point in the experience, clients can click and flip between the English or Spanish versions of each page.


Responsive Website Design
With clients coming from a variety of both locations and economic situations, we needed to make sure the website experience both translated and responded smoothly across all platforms and all devices. Focusing on making it as easy as possible to contact Vivus at any point in their online experience.
Brand Visualization
Custom Brand Stationary and Editable Marketing Resources
Beyond the logo and website design, we created a suite of brand stationery and editable marketing resources for Vivus through custom stationery templates that would allow our client to maintain design consistency across all of her print stationery items.
