The Challenge

Letting go of the old

Randy and Wanda thought they just needed a website content refresh. They loved their logo and brand. But the team didn’t feel connected to it, and clients weren’t seeing the full heart, smarts, and ambition behind the firm. The brand was holding them back.


They had some hesitation about the rebrand. But with time (and strategic conversations, some laughter, and probably a few metaphorical therapy sessions), we got there.

“Change is very hard for me. I was attached to our old logo. But we are all more in love with our new brand than we were with the old. Something we didn't think would be possible. To me, this is the best end product that we’ve ever had.”

- Randy Renninger,

Co-Founder, InSite CPAs

Approach

Build trust first, then a brand

Before touching a single colour or font, I listened. I learned their story, their goals, their best-fit clients, and what makes them different. Those conversations shaped everything that followed.

Brand Personality: Energetic • Authentic • Welcoming • Collaborative • Approachable

Brand Values: Collaborate freely • Engage boldly • Think progressively • Be accountable

Tone of Voice: Warm • Passionate • Empowering


Differentiation: InSite CPAs is the home-away-from-home accounting partner that cuts through financial fog with clarity, warmth, and support for ambitious business owners.

Visual Identity

Designed to feel human

I designed a logo anchored in a smiling and welcoming eye. Not a watchful Big Brother vibe. But a signal of clarity and partnership. It says: “We see you. We see your dreams. We’re here to help.”

It’s visionary. It's personal. It’s InSite.

Within just a few weeks of our launch, we showcased our new look at a trade show. It generated great conversations and set us apart from the competition. We don’t look like dull, boring accountants anymore. Our colors are bold, vibrant, and carry significant meaning behind them.

The Website

Built for Connection and Clarity

The website translates InSite’s brand into a clear, approachable digital home. With straightforward navigation, plain-language messaging, and bold visuals, it positions InSite as both expert and ally.


CTAs and the contact form were streamlined, making it easier for prospects to take the next step. The site is functional, optimised for search and easy for the team to update. It supports lead generation, blogging, and content marketing.
