Project Goals

Where the Project Started

The existing site had fallen behind a company that’s been trusted by Michigan and Ohio businesses since 1980, undersold its scale, and made it hard for customers, candidates, and employees to find what they needed.

Replace a dated design that undersold the company's real scale

Turn a scattered set of service pages into one clear offering

Build stronger credibility with corporate and healthcare clients

Give job candidates a clear path to careers and open roles

Give current employees a home for company resources

Build a foundation that can grow alongside the business

Our Solution

Built for customers, candidates, and the team

LEPP rebuilt the site around Populist’s actual strengths, organizing every service, credential, and story into a layout that works just as hard for a first-time visitor as it does for a returning employee.

Complete visual redesign

A confident, modern identity built around Populist's brand colors and a clear editorial voice.

Full service lineup, organized

Eight service categories, from janitorial and day porter to floor care and facility supplies, each with its own dedicated page.

Credibility built into the layout

Client logos, results in hard numbers, certifications, and testimonials from banking, healthcare, and manufacturing clients.

A real company story

A founder-led video and "why Populist" section that explains the people and philosophy behind the name.

A stronger hiring funnel

Clearer messaging and pathways for prospective employees to learn about roles and apply.

A resource for the existing team

A place for current employees to reach company references, guides, and other materials they rely on.

The Result

A New First Impression

The redesign gives Populist Cleaning Co. more than a new look. It gives the company a website that works as hard as its account teams do, for the people evaluating the company, the people who might join it, and the people already on staff.
