Looking for a Digital Agency with a proven record of Industrial and B2B website design?
You’ve found it!

The Internet on mobile is the fastest growing engagement channel for brands, companies and industry across Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong & Australia. The recent pandemic has transformed organizations’ websites into a primary lead source for most B2B and many B2C companies.

Your website, on mobile, is the all-important 1st touch-point for your stakeholders. As a manufacturing company, or indeed as an organization of any kind, a poorly designed website directly reduces the scope of your inbound inquiries, and causes long-term damage to your credibility. Failing to invest in an effective website is one of the worst mistakes organizations make, and yet it’s so easily avoidable!

Whether you’re aiming to redesign your organization’s website, or looking to launch an entirely new one, we’re here to help you with:

  • Planning your website development strategy
  • Designing your website for engagement
  • Providing content for credibility
  • Web development for security, scale and success

Our team has successfully designed and developed websites for regionally and globally recognized companies such as Dunlop, Heinz-Kraft, True, Sumitomo Heavy Industry, and others,

We look forward to working with you to support the successful launch of your next website.

Website Design and Development - What you get

Enjoy a turnkey solution tailored to the needs of Industrial and B2B Companies
Your agreement with us is geared towards getting your new website up and running as quickly as possible, while maintaining uncompromising standards for content, design and performance. Building a successful website is the process of orchestrating four primary efforts that together deliver a single comprehensive solution:

Building a successful website is the process of orchestrating four primary efforts that together deliver a single comprehensive solution:

  • Strategy
  • Design
  • Content
  • Technology

We have a proven track record of working with corporations, manufacturers and NGOs to deliver best-in-class websites and applications, and we’ll support you every step of the way towards the successful launch of yours!

Planning Your Website Development Strategy

Identifying how your website best supports your organization’s marketing and operational needs, while delivering optimal customer experiences to all your stakeholders, is the crucial first step in guaranteeing it is ultimately successful. We’ll help you review your organization’s needs and advise how your site can best address concerns from all relevant parties.

Goal sets you can define for your website typically fall under these broad categories:

  • Providing information, building awareness, and establishing brand credibility.
  • Collecting sales leads and other forms of stakeholder inquiries.
  • Providing operational and customer support in a self-serve, or semi self-serve model.
  • Generating online sales.

Designing Your Website for Engagement

In a post-pandemic world the design of your website is most likely to define the first impression people will have of your organization. This is more than just common wisdom – Psychologists have proven that 80-85% of our perception, learning and cognition are mediated through vision.

Design paradigms are typically considered across these two dimensions:

  • User Experience – How well your data is presented and how easy it is to interact with.
  • User Interface – The visual appeal of your website’s pages and how well they embody your corporate identity.

We’ll ensure your website design establishes your organization’s credibility from the very first second your audience sees it and provides an optimal customer experience throughout the time they spend on your site.

Providing Content for Credibility

Providing your audience with timely, relevant, and well produced content is the most important element in building your online success over the long term, because it is the content you publish that serves as the basis for the communications you hope to establish with your audience. The text, images, and videos you share on your site go towards establishing your expertise in your field, and it serves you well to invest whatever effort is necessary to ensure the information you’re providing is credible, useful and up-to-date.

We have decades of experience in supporting organizations in identifying, mapping, and creating content that attracts desirable visitors and generates leads and revenue. Whether you’re looking for copywriting, translation, imagery or video, we’ve got you covered.

Web Development for Security, Scale and Success

Selecting a technological framework to support your organization’s current and future needs is an important concern for your new website, and can mean the difference between success and failure.

While content and design can easily be updated, swapping technologies is much harder to do – Whatever tech you choose, you’re likely to be using it for at least a couple of years, so it’s important to get it right.

We’ll help you identify the solutions best suited to your requirements, while advocating wherever possible for the use of free and open-source resources, in order to keep budgets in-check. Our goal is to provide you with access to solutions that balance security, scalability, and commercial competitiveness, in the best way possible.

How does it work?

Our process follows these principles:

Behavioral design

People love platforms that account for how they feel & think. These are the insights behavioral design provides.

User testing

The compass ensuring a platform’s utility
& appeal is the study of the people using it. The sooner this study is launched, the higher the returns it delivers.

Return on investment

A platform’s success is measured in relation to quantifiable goals. Failure can be useful, when we learn from it.

A project is only ever as good as the brief

One of the most important steps on your path to a new website is your project brief.
A good brief will help you avoid miscommunications, wasted $$$, and missed deadlines.

We know sometimes getting your thoughts in order is hard, so we’re happy to share with you the brief template our team uses, to help you get started. Remember – The more detailed your answers on the brief questions, the easier things will be for you later on…

Who will you be working with?

Your Website Delivery Team

Your project team will be directed by one of our managing partners, who will remain cc’ed on your project’s communications. This helps us keep working teams accountable and ensures you’re treated according to our standards for quality and customer service.
Your website delivery team includes:

Project manager

Your Project Manager is the key person responsible for driving your project forward. They will have at least one weekly meeting with you, to share updates and receive feedback and guidance.

Information architects

Good information architecture makes it easier for your audience to find the information they need when browsing your site. Our managing partners, or a senior project manager, will help you arrange your website’s content so that it matches best practice conventions and is easy for your audience to navigate.

UX / UI Designers

Up to 85% of our experience is mediated by vision. The look and feel of your website is largely responsible for the impression your audience will have of your brands and company. Our design team will work with you to ensure your website establishes your company’s reputation as a credible and professional leader in your industry, while remaining faithful to your corporate image guidelines.

Copywriter

When you hire us to provide the content for your corporate website, our copywriting team will take responsibility for preparing all the text for your website. Should your site also require video and other forms of media, your project manager will facilitate the delivery of those materials as well.
If you’d like to hasten the delivery of your project, and don’t have a full-time copywriter as part of your organization, you can expect to get a much faster delivery when you leave content creation up to us.

Developers

Our development team has delivered hundreds of brand and corporate website projects in the 10+ years we’ve been in business. This working experience, coupled with our strict quality assurance processes, help to ensure your website is delivered on time, on budget, and according to plan.
