Transforming the website of Imaginate your space.

A service-first website redesign for the team that designs, builds and installs school space

About the project

Imaginate Your Space (IYS) is a design-build team based in Worcester, Massachusetts. For over 30 years they have turned plain school cafeterias, entrances and gyms into spaces built around each school's mascot, colours and story. That's more than 1,000 schools across 32+ states.

We took their website from a static, catalogue-style site to one with real wow factor. We rebuilt it in HubSpot as an interactive experience, with a scroll-driven 3D tour of real installed rooms, featured projects that play their own before-and-after on hover, and a live product builder. All of it stays simple enough for a busy food service director to use without a second thought.

What we did

  • 1 Rebuilt the site structure around services and portfolio instead of products.
  • 2 Designed page templates, from homepage to project detail, product, and blog.
  • 3 Built the site in HubSpot CMS with the CRM, forms and meeting schedule.

The Challenges

IYS had built a strong reputation for school spaces that last, but their website still sold them like a product shop. Visitors landed on a catalogue and rarely ordered online. The district leaders and principals who actually sign off on a transformation had no clear path to the service or proof of past work. With the logo and core colours locked, the site needed a new story without a new identity.

Before the redesign

What was holding the site back

  • 01 The site looked like an online store, not a design firm
  • 02 Visitors couldn't tell that IYS designs and installs whole school spaces
  • 03 Thousands of product photos, almost no online orders
  • 04 Nothing spoke to the principals and directors who sign off

Our Approach

We started with IYS's sales process, not the old sitemap. Every decision after that came back to one question: what does the person who approves a school project need to see, and what should they do next? The IYS team reviewed live prototypes with us twice a week, so the site took shape in the open, the way IYS designs with schools.

A map buyers can read in one glance

Services explain IYS's role, spaces indicate location, products are add-ons, and budget tiers show size. This clarity led to a concise main nav: Our Work, Products, Services, Process, Resources, and Book a Meeting.

Four ways in, kept apart

  • Services what IYS does
  • Projects where: cafeteria, entrance, gym
  • Products the add-ons
  • Budget tiers how big

The final website

IYS now sells as a service-first partner. A clear structure leads school leaders to Book a Meeting, HubSpot modules let the IYS team update the site and track enquiries, and the SEO groundwork keeps the search value of the old pages.

Typography & Colours

We paired a clean sans with italic and script accents, so pages read easily while key words still feel personal. The teal palette, from deep to soft tones with neutral greys, stays consistent throughout the site and gives IYS a calm, recognisable look.

What we delivered

One team handled strategy, design and development, from the first sales call to launch day. Every deliverable came from what we learned about how IYS sells, and each one was shaped by IYS on the live reviews.

  • 01

    An audit of the old site

    Every page, product and form on the old site reviewed, with what to keep, merge or cut.

  • 02

    A new site structure with real copy

    A sitemap built around services and the portfolio, with copy written for each named buyer.

  • 03

    UX specs and a design system

    Page-by-page UX specs, plus a design system around the locked logo and colours.

  • 04

    High-fidelity design

    Designs for every template, from homepage to project detail, product and blog.

  • 05

    A HubSpot site IYS runs themselves

    A HubSpot CMS build with editable modules, so the IYS team updates the site without us.

  • 06

    Lead routing, SEO and launch

    Forms and meeting booking routed into the CRM, SEO carried over, and a clean launch.

Built on HubSpot, 3D and motion end to end

The 3D scenes, scroll motion and smooth scrolling all run inside HubSpot CMS, and every section is still an editable module.

“Before HubSpot, we were living kind of in chaos with Post-it notes. Every lead, every patient type, and every renewal had to be tracked manually, and our front desk was spending more time managing spreadsheets than focusing on patients.”
Sean Barton, COO of Imaginate Your Space

Results

Results after the redesign.

Meetings booked each month more than doubled in the four months after launch, as more school leaders found their way to Book a Meeting.
