GGA Maur: Website redesign for a local telecom within strict brand guidelines

A complete redesign within tight corporate design constraints: new structure, modular templates, revised copy and a mobile-first implementation. The project ended with a job offer from the client.

01Situation

A major out-of-home campaign was about to launch. The website behind it was not ready.

Campaign as the trigger

GGA Maur needed a modern digital destination for the campaign.

Outdated starting point

The old website was structurally and visually dated and offered very little guidance.

Rigid brand guidelines

The redesign had to follow existing corporate design rules precisely.

02Complication

Maximum expectations with minimal visual freedom.

No tolerance for deviation

Changes to font sizes, spacing or layout grids were not permitted.

Creativity inside constraints

The difference had to come from structure and hierarchy rather than new visual devices.

Two approval layers

Brand and product management both had to support every decision.

03Approach

I looked for freedom where it actually existed: structure, modularity and mobile execution.

Modular templates

Reusable building blocks for product, campaign and landing pages instead of one-off designs.

Mobile first, consistently

The mobile version became the strongest part of the project and the reason the marketing team was especially enthusiastic.

Design decisions made explicit

Every decision was explained and justified, which accelerated approvals.

04Results

Complete redesign

All main and campaign pages were restructured and redesigned.

Reusable template set

New pages can be created without fresh design work.

A job offer as feedback

The client offered me a permanent role afterwards.

What I take away from it

Reasoned decisions survive review

When design is explained, the discussion shifts from taste to impact.

Strict guidelines are not a dead end

The leverage simply moves to structure, rhythm and hierarchy rather than new colours.

Early involvement saves rounds

Treating brand and product management as co-creators instead of approval gates noticeably accelerated the project.
