TL;DR

Problem

Enterprise buyers needed to trust AI call automation before they'd consider it. The previous site looked like a startup pitch deck, not a production-grade enterprise solution. Procurement teams weren't finding what they needed to move the decision forward.

Solution

Site structured to guide users through the product clearly — how it works, why it's trustworthy, what it delivers. Visual language calibrated for procurement conversations, not developer audiences.

  • Structured the site around buyer anxiety, not product features: how it works, why it's safe, what it delivers
  • Designed for the procurement reader: clear ROI signal, security context, integration depth
  • Used the product UI as a trust signal — showing the interface early reduces fear of AI
  • Built a visual language that communicates reliability over innovation

What the work looked like

User Research

Three distinct audience groups, same core tension — the existing experience wasn't built for how they actually work.

01

Enterprise IT Leaders

  • Evaluating AI call automation for large-scale deployment
  • Need security and integration context before any demo
  • Judge vendors by how professional their web presence looks

02

Contact Centre Managers

  • Handling thousands of inbound calls monthly
  • Need to see proof that AI can handle their specific call types
  • Look for case studies and volume data before engaging

03

Procurement Teams

  • Signing off on vendor decisions internally
  • Need the site to answer their compliance checklist
  • Reference the website in board presentations and budget requests

Problem Statement

How might we make enterprise buyers trust AI call automation enough to put it in front of their procurement team?

Enterprise teams looking at AI call automation need to quickly understand how it works and why it can be trusted. The website guides users through the product in a clear, straightforward way, making the value of automation easy to grasp from the first visit.

New website helped Calldesk present itself as a serious enterprise solution and support conversion among large clients.


Core Flows

Flow #1

Site structured to guide users through the product clearly — how it works, why it's trustworthy, what it delivers. Visual language calibrated for procurement conversations, not developer audiences.

Flow #2

New website helped Calldesk present itself as a serious enterprise solution and support conversion among large clients.


Brand Identity

Enterprise software sites have a trust problem: they often look like they were built by engineers for engineers. I designed for the procurement reader — clear ROI signals, security context surfaced early, and a visual language that communicates reliability over innovation. Showing the product UI early reduced fear of AI in ways that no copy could.

End to end

Sales cycle length

Enterprise inbound

Calldesk can now hold their own in enterprise sales conversations. The site shortened the sales cycle and increased qualified inbound from large clients.


Key Learnings

01

Enterprise buyers aren't sold by features — they're sold by trust signals

The site's job was to establish credibility before a human ever got on a call.

02

Showing the product UI reduces fear

For AI tools, a visible interface communicates control more effectively than any copy.

03

Procurement is a team sport

Design the site for the person who has to justify the decision upward, not just the person who found it.
