Website Design for Atlas Group
Atlas Group
Established in 1982, the Atlas Group is a company of mechanical and electrical engineers who specialise in the design, installation and maintenance of vehicle access and parking management solutions to residential and commercial markets.
Atlas contacted Project24 after receiving a verbal recommendation from one of our existing clients and asked us to design and build a new company website for them.
The new website had a number of main objectives that we needed to bear in mind when compiling and organising the content. To show the quality and wide variety of work that Atlas have already carried out. To become a source of useful information to potential customers. To provide information about the ongoing servicing and maintenance programmes that Atlas offer. And to establish an online presence to promote the business to new and existing customers.
One of the main areas of the website is the Case Studies section which presented us with an organisational challenge. The vast number of case study images all needed to be manually sorted into either a commericial, residential or public sector category and then given a description. Once this initial task was completed we also resized, colour corrected and edited all the images to remove any defects (as some were scanned). We then wrote a custom-built image gallery display tool which would allow the user to preview all the images in thumbnail size before choosing to enlarge the desired image if they wish. The resulting image display mechanism works extremely well and allows the user to quickly and easily browse through the hundreds of images on offer.
Finally we set up a blog for Atlas to run so they could keep in touch with their customers. Using the popular BlogSpot platform, we designed the layout of the blog to take on the same look at the main Atlas website and then created a customised stylesheet so all the content was presented in exactly the same style as the website too.
