13. Website Refresh
Overview:
Concept #3
More unique web-space (for this industry), that balances the relationship between company and
product. Seeks to enhance trust towards Hampton and the products they bring to market.
Style:
explore, discover and connect
Influences:
Seventh Generation, Isis

Looser structure allow for visitors to explore and scattering of information delivers detailed
info faster. Elements of "newness" can be interspersed throughout the site. The longer viewers
spend on the your site, the more connected they become.
