The Digital Launchpad: Enhancing Gateway International's Brand Through Web Design
The Digital Launchpad: Enhancing Gateway International's Brand
Industry:
Global Trade Corporation
Challenges:
Gateway International had the core challenge of launching their first digital footprint. With no previous site in place, it was not a question of redesign, it was a total creation, build, and implementation of a modern and responsive site. With no prior digital framework meant there was everything made up from scratch; navigation flow, brand message, content hierarchy.
Goal:
The aim was to create a clean, intuitive, and scalable site that represented Gateway International’s global reputation and increased user engagement, accessibility, and inquiry conversion rates.
Background
Gateway International General Trading & Contracting Co. has been a recognized player in the field of engineering and construction in Kuwait since before 2009, operating with a full service in general contracting, MEP works, facility maintenance, and several other capabilities. Despite their reputation in the marketplace, they had never built a professional digital presence that demonstrated their capabilities in an online capacity.
Effectively bridging this absence, Orestes, who is a website design service professional, developed Gateway International’s inaugural custom web design. Everything was designed with the unique needs of the organization, with the intention to build a modern, mobile-friendly, and integrated website that highlights their existing skills & aids them in developing their business connection to their future ambitions.
