The Challenge

ICLS required an updated digital presence that highlights the brand’s position as an industry leader and spreads awareness about its educational solutions and member benefits.

Brand Awareness

ICLS needed to enhance its visibility and awareness as the only international organization representing the cinematic lighting community. The existing website did not effectively communicate the unique value or global reach of ICLS.

User Experience

The old website’s design and navigation were outdated, making it difficult for users to find information, engage with content, or understand the benefits of membership.

Conversion & Funding

ICLS aimed to increase conversions and attract funding by clearly showcasing membership benefits and the organization’s impact on the industry.

Knowledge Sharing

There was a need for a platform where members could comfortably share their expertise, experiences and ideas, fostering a supportive and knowledgeable community.

Clear Communication Of Benefits

The existing website did not clearly convey the dual benefits of being a member — what ICLS provides to its members and what members can contribute to the industry.

THE SOLUTION

We delivered a custom web design that informs, engages and converts ICLS’ potential members.

Some of our deliverables included:
  • Modern Website Redesign

    We overhauled the ICLS website with a fresh, modern look and feel, improving the overall UX by making the site more visually appealing and easier to navigate.

  • Effective Conversion Funnels

    Digital Silk implemented clear and effective conversion funnels to guide visitors through the process of learning about, engaging with and joining ICLS. This included well-defined membership tiers and detailed benefits for each level.

  • Educational Platform

    The new website features a comprehensive video library and other educational resources, providing members with valuable content and opportunities for professional development.

  • Platform For Knowledge Sharing

    We developed a user-friendly platform where members can share their knowledge and expertise, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

  • Consistent Branding

    Our team ensured that the website reflects ICLS’s status as the first and only international organization for the cinematic lighting industry, emphasizing its role in advocating for members’ rights and providing a unique industry voice.
