Taking a building company and making them sing online
In a sector dominated by functional, often stark websites, Coast Projects stands out—not just for its distinctive approach to construction but for its commitment to aesthetics. When James, the visionary behind Coast Projects, approached us, he had a clear mandate: he needed a website that would mirror the sophistication and dynamism of his renovations and redesigns. Our task was to craft a digital presence as meticulously designed and forward-thinking as the structures his company creates.
Coast Projects isn’t your typical construction firm. Specialising in bespoke, eye-catching renovations, the company brings an artist’s touch to bricks and mortar. They required a website that didn’t just serve as a digital brochure but as a compelling showcase of their craftsmanship and a portal that reflected their brand's unique ethos.
Inspired by the clean, deliberate lines of modern architecture, we designed the Coast Projects website with a focus on minimalism. We opted for a modular layout to give the website a structured, organized feel, ensuring that each project could stand out on its own while contributing to a cohesive whole.
We infused the design with ample white space, akin to an architect's drawing board, setting a stage where content could shine without the clutter. The use of bold, clean design elements and large, immersive imagery allowed us to showcase Coast Projects’ portfolio effectively, ensuring that each featured project told a story of transformation and meticulous detail.
Understanding that Coast Projects’ portfolio would continue to grow and evolve, we implemented a robust content management system (CMS) tailored for easy updates. This functionality was crucial for keeping the site fresh and relevant, allowing James and his team to upload new projects effortlessly and share their latest masterpieces with the world.
The CMS also ensured that the website provided a consistent experience across all devices—from desktops to mobile phones—catering to the diverse needs of their audience. Whether it was a potential business looking to tender a new project or a homeowner seeking inspiration for a renovation, the website was designed to serve as a resource and inspiration hub.
To elevate the browsing experience to the level of the projects displayed, we integrated subtle UI animations throughout the site. These animations were designed to engage visitors without overwhelming them, enhancing the feel of luxury and attention to detail that Coast Projects is known for.
Additionally, we employed glass morphism in the design elements to add a layer of depth and modernity to the interface. This technique not only aligned with the latest web design trends but also added a touch of sophistication, mirroring the innovative and high-end feel of James’s projects.
The launch of the Coast Projects website marked a significant milestone in the digital landscape of construction firms. It broke the mold of traditional construction websites by offering a visually stunning and highly functional online platform. The design choices—from the modular layout to the sophisticated use of animations—made the website not just a tool, but a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality and aesthetics.
Our collaboration with Coast Projects didn’t end at the website launch. We’ve continued to support their brand through various digital and offline services, enhancing their visibility and consolidating their reputation within the local community. James’s firm has grown to be recognized as one of Kent’s premier construction companies, a distinction that reflects not only the quality of their physical projects but also their outstanding digital presence.
Working with Coast Projects has been an enriching experience, pushing the boundaries of what a construction firm’s website can be. As they continue to shape skylines and interiors, we remain committed to evolving their digital strategy to keep pace with their innovations, ensuring that their online presence is as dynamic and exceptional as the buildings they create.
The Coast Projects website stands as a beacon of how construction firms can leverage digital platforms to enhance their brand and showcase their expertise. It exemplifies the potential of web design to transcend traditional boundaries and create spaces online that are as impactful and inspiring as the tangible structures they represent. For Coast Projects, this website is not just a tool; it’s a digital extension of their craft, a place where construction meets design in the most beautiful way possible.
