Envisioning and Creating the New TA Digital Website

To help us achieve our goals, our website needed to facilitate conversations and build confidence in our services. In its legacy state, it didn’t do any of that.

As our company’s mission and vision evolved, our website did not keep pace.

We decided it was time to re-envision our digital platform from the ground up.

Major Goals

The first step in creating a site that would reflect TA Digital today and allow us to keep pace as we continue to grow was to define our success criteria.

1
Align to Our Culture and Vision

To ensure that our website would be an authentic reflection of who we are, we needed to affirm our company values and use them as a springboard for the changes we would make.
