Drew Smith Limited is an established
building services company based in Southampton. There was an
existing web presence for the company but they were looking for
a new professionally designed website to promote the business
and to update the corporate look and feel in line with a revamped
brochure. Design Haus have been commissioned to design both the
site and the brochures.
Drew Smith Limited had an established
brand when they came to us. Part of our challenge was to follow-through
on the style that had been created, but make it work effectively
on the Web.
The first step in this process was
creating an effective site architecture for presenting the
content. This included identifying the building projects that
Drew Smith carried out as central to the presentation. The
decision was made to keep a focus on 'the work' and allow the
rest of the content to support that area. The home page depicted
in the thumbnail on the right shows the two projects highlighted.
This emphasis using pictures from the project encourages the
user to get to know Drew Smith Ltd by viewing the kind of work
they have been involved with.
The use of colours in the site (mainly
grey, black and red) keeps the style of their identity, but
also serves to frame the great photography.
