A great website doesn’t just look better—it tells the truth about where your business is today.

That’s exactly what we set out to do with the redesigned site for Vitale & Company.

Their work has grown in depth and impact—helping organizations build trust, align leadership, and transform culture through proven frameworks like the Trust Catalyst System™.

The new site reflects that evolution by:
✔ Clearly defining their services and signature programs
✔ Highlighting the real problems they solve (misalignment, disengagement, low ownership)
✔ Positioning trust as a performance strategy—not just a concept
✔ Showcasing the industries and organizations they serve

This is what happens when strategy and storytelling align.

If your business has evolved, your website should too.

The difference between “trying marketing” and actually getting results?

Process.

Too often, businesses jump straight into tactics—logos, ads, websites—without first defining what success looks like or who they’re trying to reach.

At RL Design, we slow things down just enough to get it right:
Define the challenge → Define success → Build the plan → Deliver → Measure.

Because when you trust the process, the results follow.

Has your business outgrown your logo?

Sometimes growth happens gradually — more customers, more reach, more capability — but your logo still reflects who you were years ago.

That’s where Pitman Creek Wholesale found themselves.

What started in 1978 as a custom lure manufacturer has grown into a national wholesale distributor serving thousands of retailers across the country. Their brand needed to reflect that scale, professionalism, and leadership.

RL Design partnered with Pitman Creek to evolve their visual identity — refining the logo, typography, and color system to honor their legacy while positioning them confidently for the future.

The result? A mark that matches the business they’ve become.

If your company has grown, expanded, or matured… it may be time for your brand to do the same.

Before → After. Purpose, clarified. Impact, amplified.

We loved partnering with Onefold to help bring a refreshed digital experience to life for We Work The Waterways 🌊

The goal of this redesign was simple but powerful:
👉 make the mission clearer
👉 create a more engaging experience for students, educators, and supporters
👉 showcase the real-world impact happening on and around our nation’s waterways

Together, we transformed a static, form-heavy site into a modern, story-driven platform that highlights hands-on learning, career exploration, and measurable impact—all while making it easier to get involved.

This project is a great example of what happens when strategy, storytelling, and thoughtful design come together with the right partners.

And if you’re ready to rethink how your website tells your story—we’d love to help.

At RL Design, we don’t just draw pictures — we craft visual stories that celebrate heritage, personality, and purpose. Our work on the Bicentennial Portrait Series for Centre College is one of our proudest examples. Commissioned to honor eight legendary faculty and staff members, we created black-and-white pen-and-ink vector portraits that were size-agnostic and flexible — perfect for everything from bourbon packaging to commemorative print materials.
