Website Design & Development
The team had to think how to design the website layout and how to structure the content to convey the key business aspects:
- Laboratory testing standards,
- technical expertise,
- construction capabilities,
- and to arrange the SpeakUp Blog episodes to impress and engage the viewers.
We were determined to showcase the laboratory's highly sophisticated equipment and impressive testing scope.
A comprehensive stock of professional photos taken by Justina Bain made the task with the equipment showcasing and the gallery pretty easy.
To arrange the testing scope was a more time-consuming exercise. The lab’s main standard and fire resistance testing bible - AS1530.4 took the whole page. This page features Cellulosic and hydrocarbon temperature curves which are built based on the data from the real fire resistance tests.
We also didn’t forget about tunnel fire testing temperature curves.
The sections of AS1530.4 were decided to present from the perspective of the lab's technical capabilities to conduct tests (frame dimensions, viewing window, loading, crane and etc).
The buttons’ shape visually resembles the passage of fire through the specimen lining when it is engulfed in fire at the end of the test. The button changes the color on hover, making the website feel more fluid and responsive.
