Overview

The challenge
ACTS supports lab animal care programs with assessments, accreditation preparation, training, and veterinary staffing. It had a Brand Camp logo and brand book, a messaging system, and an older WordPress site.
What we did
A new website on Webflow, a brand system built from the identity, and the same system carried into print, LinkedIn, and a launch film.
The result
Live in October 2026, with all 127 claims on the site checked against ACTS's own sources before launch.

The work.

The website.

Thirteen pages on Webflow, all built from one set of components. The Insights Scorecard sits on the homepage at ACTS's request. Before launch I checked 127 claims against ACTS's own sources and reworded about 39 so they say only what can be shown.

Out in the world.

The system carried into everything around the launch: a share image for every page, six service flyers and an overview sheet with QR codes that report which piece a visitor came from, a business card, a LinkedIn page, and a short launch film.

The brand system.

Guidelines built from the live site, Brand Camp's book, and the messaging system. The logo is Brand Camp's artwork, recolored: one deep teal replaced the old charcoal, and Instrument Sans carries every word. Fifteen new icons each act out a service on the site.
