Helping Colas deliver the UK’s future transport infrastructure, with the national contractors’ new website and updated branding
Colas is an award-winning business, delivering sustainable solutions for the UK’s transport infrastructure. They invest, design, construct, maintain and operate a wide variety of projects for the public and private sector clients.
Colas UK needed a new website to to showcase their new branding and appointed dpc to design and build it for them.
The challenge was to lead with the new Colas global branding, whilst still being able to integrate their old branding for some specific services and products.
Our Solution
We devised an interesting approach to splitting their services with the use of a “double off-canvas menu”. The left hand menu covers all their services and products, and allows us to use the red logo where needed, and the new yellow logo when required as well.
For all other pages (careers, sustainability, code of conduct etc) the right-hand menu holds all these pages.
The user is left in no doubt that the new brand is the hero-brand, and also how the old red brand still is applicable for certain services.
The large site was built on Umbraco and integrates an interesting auto-play video into the homepage.
