Website Development
As one of our largest projects to date in a brand new industry, the team at HRMG was excited to learn about the ins and outs of industrial construction and fabrication. As we attended orientation meetings, interview sessions with staff and even underwent safety training, it was clear that Bay Ltd. was a company of family and friends who were committed to excellence in all aspects of their operations. Translating this unique culture of safety, quality and caring visually would be paramount as well as building on its impressive 60-year legacy to propel the business into an even greater future.
Though Bay Ltd. is one of the largest industrial full-service industrial construction and fabrication providers in the nation and is continually recognized for its safety performance, its online presence was minimal. The previous website was in need of complete upgrades and overhauls involving content, design, functionality and security. Our approach was to create a site that not only raised awareness regarding Bay Ltd. and its wide-range of comprehensive services, but also to help create a distinctive brand identity, improve user experience, enhance security and attract new visitors while retaining existing ones.
Technical Advances
The end result is a beautifully designed site that is modern, functional and easy to read. Some of the website’s top features include implementing the WordPress CMS utilizing HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery, Google Analytics, SEO, AJAX support, lightbox and gallery support, a ‘sticky’ header, full retina-resolution support, high quality vector icons, intro and outro page animations for subtle transitioning between pages and the entire site is fully responsive for use on any device, including mobile tablets and smart phones.
Customized content also helps make the site engaging, easy to read and implements key phrases for the purposes of SEO, while a custom news page solidifies the company’s online presence and keeps the public informed of recent news, achievements, awards, philanthropy and projects undertaken by Bay Ltd. Security features include automated third-party script updates, malware protection, script injection protection, anti-spam coding, modified database tables, permissions hardening and brute-force protection against invasive login attempts. The site also features external site uptime monitoring to send alerts to select emails notifying staff of downtime so that immediate response may be taken.
