A structured review of Poly Evolution's current visual identity, brand voice, and web design patterns, with recommendations for a cohesive design system moving forward.
Note on color values: Exact hex codes require browser DevTools inspection of polyevo.com's stylesheet. Values marked "Estimated" below are based on visual analysis and should be confirmed before locking into a new design system.

Current site uses WordPress default typography. The font stack is not clearly differentiated - headlines and body text appear to share a single font family. The recommendation is a two-family system with a geometric sans for headlines and a humanist sans for body copy.

03 Voice & Tone
Poly Evolution's current voice is professional B2B with partnership-forward language. The site uses strong taglines ("RESIN HERO", "Results Speak Volumes") that punch well above the typical distributor. This is a strategic asset to preserve and amplify.
Core Voice Attributes
Expert
Deep industry knowledge, not generic distributor talk
Partner-first
We succeed when you succeed; not vendor language
Results-driven
Specific outcomes, cost savings, quality metrics
Direct
No corporate filler; say it plainly and with confidence
Avoid
"We provide comprehensive resin distribution solutions leveraging our extensive network of supplier relationships to deliver value-added services to our valued customers."
Use
"We source the right resin at the right price - and our team picks up the phone when you have a problem. That's the difference."
Avoid
"Our best-in-class compounding capabilities enable our clients to achieve superior product outcomes through customized formulation strategies."
Use
"Tell us your spec. We'll engineer a compound that hits it - without the three-month lead time you're used to."
04 UI Components
Component patterns observed on the current site, with recommended replacements for the redesign.
Buttons
Button Rules
Primary: one per page/section. Use for the single most important action.
Secondary: supporting actions alongside a primary. Never two primaries side-by-side.
Ghost: tertiary actions, nav items, or in contexts where a bordered button reads too heavy.
Navigation Pattern
Current: horizontal top nav with 7 items. Recommend reducing to 5 max and moving secondary pages to dropdown groups.
Prioritized design improvements for the site rebuild, ordered by impact vs. effort.
1
Confirm exact brand colors via DevTools inspection
Open Chrome DevTools on polyevo.com, inspect the nav background, primary button, and link color. Pull computed hex values to lock in the true current palette before any redesign decision is finalized.
2
Establish a single defined font stack
The current site relies on WordPress/Blocksy defaults with no explicit brand font. Selecting IBM Plex Sans (or similar industrial-grade sans) creates immediate differentiation and editorial control over heading weight, size, and spacing.
3
Adopt a teal or orange accent to break the all-blue palette
Every resin distributor uses navy-on-white. A secondary accent color (Resin Teal #00BFA5 or Industrial Orange #F4821F) makes CTAs, callout boxes, and stat highlights visually distinct and more memorable.
4
Replace generic stock photos with material / process imagery
Current hero uses an Unsplash-style generic office photo. Actual pellet close-ups, compounding equipment, and plant process shots build immediate credibility with buyers who know the industry.
5
Build a reusable component library before touching the CMS
Define the button, card, stat block, and section header components in Figma or a design token file first. Implementing redesigned Blocksy blocks without this leads to inconsistency across pages.
