The Client
MIKASO is a distinguished Sri Lankan architectural firm established in 1976. Renowned for its creative approach and pioneering design ethos, MIKASO has built a reputation as an industry leader in both mega-structure developments and the hospitality sector. With an experienced team, the firm offers a comprehensive range of services, including Architectural, Structural, and MEP Services, as well as Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Project Management, and Planning Consultancy.
Objectives
MIKASO approached us with the goal of revitalizing their digital presence to better reflect their evolving brand identity and showcase their extensive project portfolio. Their objectives included:
1. Showcasing Expertise
Presenting their multidisciplinary capabilities and landmark projects in a visually engaging manner.
2.Client Engagement
Making it easy for potential clients and partners to explore MIKASO’s services and initiate contact.
3. Modernization
Bringing a contemporary, high-impact look and feel to the website, in line with global standards for architectural firms.

5.Content Management
Empowering the MIKASO team to easily update content and projects as their portfolio grows.
The Challenge
Despite MIKASO’s established reputation and decades of expertise, their previous website did not fully capture the scope and quality of their work. Some of the key challenges we identified included:
• Outdated Design: The existing website lacked the sophistication and visual storytelling expected from a firm of MIKASO’s caliber.
• Limited Portfolio Showcase: There was no effective way to highlight the breadth of completed projects or the unique value delivered in each.
• Mobile Responsiveness: The site experience on mobile devices was subpar, affecting engagement with a growing audience of mobile users.
• Scalability: The site structure made it cumbersome to add new projects or update service offerings, hindering marketing efforts.

•Mobile-First Experience:
The site was built with a mobile-first approach, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience across all devices.
•Flexible Content Management:
We implemented a user-friendly content management system, allowing MIKASO’s team to easily add new projects, update service details, and share company news.
