A Clearer Path to Customs Clearance

Independent Customs Services

Client: Independent Customs Services

Solutions: Branding • Digital Marketing • Social Media • UX/UI Design

Independent Customs Solutions (ICS) started with a simple, one-page website—a budget-friendly template that failed to reflect their expertise or connect with their niche audience. Despite working exclusively with freight forwarders, their website lacked clarity on their services, leaving potential clients unsure of how ICS could support them.

Our goal? To transform ICS’s digital presence into a high-converting, strategically structured website that speaks directly to its audience and positions it as an industry leader.

Cracking the Code on Customer Needs

Unpacking the Audience: Two Key Customer Segments

Our first step was to gain clarity on ICS’s customer base. Through research and discussions, we discovered that their audience could be grouped into two distinct segments:

– Freight Forwarders with Internal Brokers → They needed backup broker support to handle overflow work or cover staff leave.

– Freight Forwarders Without Internal Brokers → They needed an integrated customs clearance service where ICS functions as an extension of their team.

Once we defined these segments, we structured the website’s messaging around these two core services—ensuring that every visitor could immediately understand how ICS could support their business.

How We Designed It

Simplicity & Clarity for Maximum Impact

With a highly specialised audience, we knew the design had to be clean, intuitive, and straight to the point. Our approach focused on:
Designed for Legibility – A clear, easy-to-read layout tailored for decision-makers in an industry where simplicity is key.
Minimalist, Purpose-Driven Navigation – We stripped away unnecessary menu items, leaving only two core services, a contact button, and a customs clearance page.
A Bold, Modern Brand Identity – We didn’t just revamp the website—we gave ICS a striking new logo that’s modern, memorable, and a true standout in their industry.
