It's time for a Project Highlight! ✨ This one features Redball Energy, who partnered with us to build a cost-effective, yet fully custom, website for their quickly growing solar financing business.

TWO MAIN CHALLENGES:
The two main challenges we needed to address for Redball Energy's new website were:

1. They needed to stand out and project confidence in the high-tech and highly competitive solar energy space.

2. They were also a relatively young startup, so they wanted to be as quick and efficient as possible with the build of their new website.

OUR SOLUTION:
We had a great time finding solutions to these challenges, and we talk about how we did that in our latest portfolio highlight.

(Spoiler alert: We built the site in Webflow)
