Client: Lysander Shipping

Lysander Shipping is a logistics company that handles extraordinary projects. It's worth taking a look at the website just to see the scale of some of the operations they run. When you want drilling stations, ready-built sections of factories, or parts for some of the biggest machines in the world, Lysander is an obvious place to go, as they've done it all before!

They needed a website that showed what they do could do without hiding what they're selling, with a strong design that will identify them as a major player in the global market place.

The site couples strong design with an efficient data-access structure so that potential clients can easily find what they're looking for. When your product is as diverse as Lysander's in terms of the kinds of things you can deliver, it can get quite difficult to present that range without losing focus or obscuring elements of your product offering.

We've addressed these issues through a simple navigation structure and anchor points so that pages can cover different aspects of a service without over-complicating the access.

Images are very important to show the company in action. They're the only way to give an idea of the sheer scale of some of the projects Lysander handle.  The home page is therefore dominated by images, and even the navigation items have their own thumbnail so that the company's activities are as much in focus as possible.

The site also has a tools section so that Lysander is seen as an information hub for their clients, with timetables, useful links and widgets like the conversion and weather tools.

Lysander Shipping is another site we have delivered on Exintra, and the company keeps users regularly updated with news items using the CMS. Administrators can also log in and navigate internally to their other websites so that they can maintain all their websites through one login and a very few simple steps.
