Schaffer Automation

Schaffer Automation came to RivalMind with a clear goal: consolidate two separate websites into one cohesive digital experience. As a trusted provider of industrial automation solutions, the company needed a website that better reflected its expertise, strengthened its visibility, and created a clearer path for prospective customers.

With decades of experience and an impressive portfolio of real-world automation projects, Schaffer already had the credibility. Their digital presence simply needed to catch up. Schaffer Automation and RivalMind worked together to unify the company's digital presence into a single, strategic platform that reflects its expertise, simplifies the customer journey, and creates a stronger foundation for future growth.

Our Approach

Making Every Connection Count

Like any well-designed automation system, every component had a job to do. The focus was on creating a digital experience that felt bold, modern, and unmistakably Schaffer, while giving visitors a clearer understanding of the company's capabilities from the very first interaction.


Working closely with the client, RivalMind uncovered a cinematic visual direction that highlighted Schaffer's greatest asset: its people, projects, and equipment. Real photography and videography became the centerpiece of the experience, creating a cinematic presentation that puts the company's expertise in the spotlight, supported by modern typography, refined brand elements, and an expanded color palette that introduced greater contrast and energy throughout the site.

Just as importantly, RivalMind established a clear sitemap and service pathway, making services easier to explore and information easier to find. The result is a digital experience that's built for today's users while creating a stronger foundation for future growth.

Everything Running in Sync

Schaffer Automation now has a digital presence that keeps everything under one roof, giving prospective customers a clearer understanding of the company's services and expertise from the first click.

The streamlined experience creates a stronger path from discovery to inquiry, while giving the Schaffer team a platform that's easier to build on as the business continues to grow. With a more cohesive brand presence and a scalable website, the company is better equipped to support future marketing efforts and connect with the industries it serves.

Before & After

Fine-Tuned for the Future

Sometimes the smallest adjustments produce the biggest gains. Rather than replacing Schaffer Automation's logo, RivalMind refined it by removing the dated gradient effect and introducing subtle color changes that improve clarity while helping the logomark stand apart from the wordmark.

The updated mark feels cleaner, more modern, and ready for wherever the brand goes next. Sometimes, the best upgrades aren't complete overhauls. They're measured in the details.

Setting the Type Standard

Typography was selected with the same attention to detail that defines Schaffer Automation's work. Sleek, highly legible typefaces give headlines a confident, technical presence while keeping supporting content clear and easy to navigate.

Together, the typography creates a visual system that's structured, dependable, and built to communicate with precision. Every message moves smoothly from headline to call to action, keeping the focus where it belongs: on Schaffer's expertise, services, and solutions.

Color-Coded for Clarity

In automation, every signal matters. Color is no exception. Building on Schaffer Automation's existing brand palette, RivalMind introduced vibrant and muted blue tones to create visual hierarchy and guide attention to key actions throughout the site.

Balanced with clean neutral tones, the palette reinforces the company's technical expertise while creating a digital experience that feels sharp, dependable, and easy to navigate.
