The Challenge
Silicone Altimex wanted their new website to create individual unique branding for their two main product ranges; clean room products and industrial products. Each of the product sections on the website therefore needed a distinctive look that would make it easier for visitors to differentaite between the product ranges and easily recognise where they are on the site.
The Approach
The requirement for a number of different designs within the same website is easy to acheive with River CMS. This system was used to produce the Silicone Altimex website using two style sheets to create an individual identity for the different sections of the site. The colours from the different sections were also used to distiguish the global navigation and sectional navigation so that the different areas of the site are even easier to identify. In addition, a unique watermark was introduced which acts as a background to the copy for each section.
We also created a seperate German microsite (with a .de domain) for the company's German audience. This smaller site directs back into the main corporate website landing at a hidden German language web page not visible by UK visitors.
The Results
The result is a website with identity. The Silicone Altimex brand identity is kept throughout whilst splitting the site into two easily recognisable sections that help visitors to define where they are on the site. The navigation structure is simple and easy to use but has the depth for expansion of the site as it goes down to third level navigation.
