The Challenge
Our design philosophy was “Industrial Elegance.” We needed to reflect the heavy-duty nature of the factory while maintaining the clean, approachable feel of their retail shops.
- We mapped the user journey from the factory’s technical capabilities to the retail shop’s product availability.
- We produced a layout wireframe that prioritizes high-impact visuals—ensuring the video content we shot remained front and center.
The Solution
- Speed Optimization: Despite the heavy use of high-definition video and a massive photo repository, we optimized the backend to ensure lightning-fast load times.
- Mobile-First Design: Ensuring the site looks just as authoritative on a smartphone at a construction site as it does on a desktop in a corporate office.
- Social Media Sync: We integrated a live feed and direct links to the extensive social media campaign, creating a seamless loop between their website and their social presence.
