New APG Website

November 6, 2018
As part of the rebrand, we also wanted to produce a new website that highlights their divisions as well as grouping their services by sector/market, i.e. if you are in education/retail we have a page just for you.

WEBSITE Features

Giving employees across the group a resource that they can point customers towards, this gives us a new opportunity to highlight the benefits of companies in the group. The site is fully responsive, we wanted to make sure that the website looked great across all screen sizes, whether you are on mobile, tablet or desktop.

The new website has a division page that shows all companies in the group, ARK, BGB, Cannon & VRC. On these pages visitors can get to divisional websites, on top of this, we have our sectors pages which shows our areas of business.

We also have a webpage showing our accreditations, highlighting awards, accreditations and other quality marks held by the group. If you wish to know more about accreditation, click on it to visit the relevant page, which will tell you about the accreditation and the companies within the group that hold relevant accreditation.

We also have put together a newsletter webpage where visitors can subscribe to our monthly e-newsletter and once a month you will receive an email containing the best news from all across the APG group.

Old website 

If it is hard to read then it is hard to sell. The old websites black background and small white text resulting in a very contrast webpage that difficult to read. 

In addition, all page content was counter-intuitively forced into the bottom right corner of any given page.

As westerners we read from left to right, the previous website placed the contact form and twitter feed as the left-most objects making it, so these were seen first, this breaks the visual hierarchy,
