Connecting a fast-growing consultancy with a bold new digital presence

Techmodal is one of the UK’s leading data-driven consultancy partners, supporting defence, government and enterprise organisations with advanced analytics and decision-support solutions. As part of a wider rebrand and period of growth, they needed a new website that reflected their expanded service offering, strengthened recruitment ambitions, and provided a modern foundation to scale.

Element78 partnered with Techmodal to deliver a site that brings their new brand to life, improves content management, and supports the needs of users across services, careers, insights and events.

Client Perspective

We talk to Marketing Manager Tom Burns at Techmodal as he reflects on the journey, collaboration and outcomes of the project in this short video.

Our discovery phase was centred around defining what Techmodal needed from its next-generation platform. This combined qualitative workshops with quantitative performance analysis, including:

• User journey analysis and heat-mapping identifying high-value pathways and friction points.

• Content audit across services, insights, careers and events.

• Requirements mapping against business goals and CMS needs - including content modularity, SEO controls, accessibility, improved navigation and support for the new brand.

• Governance & workflow planning, ensuring more colleagues could publish content while retaining editorial approval pathways.

Key opportunities identified:

• A clearer content structure for services and thought leadership.

• A more intuitive navigation model.

• A CMS that empowered the team while enforcing brand consistency.

• A scalable technical foundation aligned to Cyber Essentials and modern Azure hosting practices.

Techmodal engaged a creative agency to develop updated brand guidelines. Working collaboratively across teams, Element78:

• Translated the new brand into a fully responsive digital design, focusing on clarity, confidence and modern typography.

• Created versatile UI modules allowing the brand to flex across services, articles, events, case studies and careers.

• Ensured all components met required accessibility standards per the specification.

• Delivered a full clickable prototype, including mobile behaviours, navigation flows and page-level content models.

The result is a strong, cohesive digital expression of Techmodal’s identity - bold, confident and built for growth.

We built the new Techmodal site using Umbraco CMS as a base and our Blueprint integrated layer giving a fast, flexible and fully branded platform. Blueprint’s modular components accelerated delivery while ensuring strong performance, accessibility and SEO. Umbraco provides full content control, workflow approvals, user permissions, HubSpot integration and compliant cookie management. The site is securely hosted on Azure with WAF protection, automated DevOps deployments, CDN optimisation and robust security headers. We completed the migration and implemented structured redirects to ensure a seamless switch from the legacy site.
