SoEnergy

Making Complex Power Solutions Feel Simple

Summary

Context

SoEnergy International is a global provider of power solutions, specializing in the design, engineering, and operation of large-scale power generation systems. They serve clients across mining, oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing.

SoEnergy needed a redesigned website that clearly communicated their solutions and the industries they serve. The site needed to convey their main value proposition that they make complex power solutions simple by handling installation and maintenance, and communicate their Energy as a Service (EaaS) model, which allows clients to access energy solutions without upfront capital investment in physical assets.

The redesign also needed to establish global credibility, support business development, and guide prospective clients toward engaging with the SoEnergy team for customized solutions. Challenges included limited high-quality photography of their work and a lack of established branding and visual styles to build from.

Note: The current live website may have been updated since my original design.

My Role

I collaborated with a project manager, marketing consultant, 3D artist, and another experience designer to create the content strategy and site structure, produce graphics, and design the full UI and UX experience for SoEnergy’s website.

Design

Design Directions

Two distinct design directions were developed and presented to the client, each covering the homepage, navigation, and a representative subpage. The first was a clean, conservative layout built on a structured boxy grid, with a grayscale palette accented by SoEnergy’s yellow-to-orange gradient, a full-width dropdown menu, and all key information above the fold. The second was bolder and more graphic with a dark hero image, strong display typography, geometric color blocks, illustrations, with a vertical side navigation and a generous use of negative space. Presenting two clearly differentiated directions made the conversation about visual personality.

Refined Homepage Direction

The client selected the more conservative direction but wanted to incorporate the blue from the second concept into the palette. This gave the design more range warm tones for energy and industry, cool blue for credibility and scale. We refined the design with this palette and carried the direction to the other page designs.

Building Credibility by Domain

Solution subpages were designed to move beyond category descriptions and build credibility with prospective clients. Each page details how SoEnergy delivers power within that specific domain and showcases actual projects from that same area, giving visitors confidence that SoEnergy has relevant, proven experience in their sector.

Letting the Work Speak

SoEnergy’s project portfolio was one of their strongest assets but was not being used effectively. A projects landing page was designed to allow filtering by industry, region, and fuel type, making it easy for prospective clients to find work relevant to their own context. Individual project pages told the full story: client situation, technical solution, scale, and outcome.

Building Thought Leadership

A news and blog area was designed to support ongoing content publishing, giving SoEnergy a channel to demonstrate thought leadership in energy transition, project updates, and industry insight. The landing page and individual article template were built to integrate cleanly with the broader design system, ensuring that new content would always be consistent with the rest of the site.

Outcome

The redesign gave SoEnergy a website that could credibly support enterprise sales conversations. The EaaS model was explained in plain language, the project portfolio was turned into a navigable showcase of proven work, and the visual identity built provided an established brand. The site positioned SoEnergy as a credible, globally experienced partner for clients navigating complex power challenges across some of the world’s most demanding industries.
