Considering the refreshed branding and need for customisable content, we built with content management in mind. New features which can easily be adapted utilising the flexibility of Umbraco were put in place. As a result, a new workflow structure was implemented that is capable of adapting to Kier’s changing content.

Developing a complex 1,2,3 column grid system allowing Kier to create dynamic and flexible page layouts whilst custom controls enabled their Content Editors to implement the iconography which formed an integral part of their rebrand. A component-based build provided our Development team with the freedom to create bespoke pages based on Kier’s unique content. Their extensive case studies, projects, services and content can now be brought to forefront.

In a project where time was paramount, part of our role was to advise and guide Kier on how we could get the site built quicker, giving earlier visability of progress to key project stakeholders. In an effort to meet the deadline, we created a HTML prototype that could be tested and assessed internally before attaching the CMS. This gave Kier valuable insight during the early stages of the project that were then fed into the site build, setting the foundations for a website that is both visually engaging and reflective of Kier’s brand vision.
