Who Are Forfend?

Forfend Information Security is a Birmingham-based information security and penetration testing provider.

They work with organisations that need confidence in their systems, offering services such as IT health checks, wireless network testing and broader security assessments.

Their primary audience is IT managers, so the website needed to communicate technical capability clearly, without unnecessary flash or marketing noise.

About the Project

Forfend approached us to redesign and rebuild their existing website, which had performed well historically but no longer supported their growth plans.

The audience was clear. IT managers who want enough technical detail to assess credibility, without marketing fluff or over-designed distractions. The site needed to inform, reassure and convert, while staying focused on function over form.

We worked within existing brand guidelines and focused on improving how services were presented. Each service was expanded into its own dedicated page, allowing Forfend to explain what they do properly, support enquiries earlier in the journey and improve search visibility.

The site was rebuilt in WordPress with scalability in mind. The team can now update content, imagery and services easily, while retaining a structure that supports future growth without needing another rebuild.

What Forfend Benefit From

Clear, direct messaging - Short headlines and focused calls to action explain what Forfend does, who it is for and what to do next, guiding visitors towards an enquiry.

Simple, logical navigation - The site structure makes it easy to move between services without unnecessary steps, helping IT managers find the information they need quickly.

An improved but restrained user experience - Subtle animations add polish without distracting from the primary goal of generating enquiries.

Improved search visibility - Dedicated service pages and a clearer site structure have increased visibility across a wider range of relevant security-related search terms.

Post Launch

Following launch, Forfend were left with a website that is easier to manage and built to scale as the business grows.

The introduction of dedicated service pages and a clearer SEO-focused structure has improved visibility for a broader range of security services, helping Forfend be found more consistently in search results.

The platform now supports ongoing content expansion without technical friction, allowing the team to adapt the site as their offering evolves.
