Elements of a Good Corporate Website

Being Clean, Well Organized and Engaging on a Visual Level

When a customer visits your site, they should notice that the site is attractive, the layout is clean, and the content is visible.

Attractive and Usable Navigation

Designing a site that revolves around simple and easy to find navigation takes some work. However, this could be the difference between a visitor and an actual customer.

Direct, to the point Content

Don’t use overly complicated and highly sophisticated words. We all know you’re smart, but truthfully, not everyone of your visitors will understand or care for everything you write. For example, the content on your site should be easy enough to read that 4th grader could skim through it with very little problem. When visitors read the content on your site, they usually only pay attention to key words and headlines.

Informative and Resourceful About Us Page

Your about us page isn’t all that makes up your site, but it does hold an important place on your site. This is where your potential customers will go to get acquainted with you. Make this page count!

Faster Load Times

You definitely wouldn’t want to keep potential customers waiting an unnecessary amount of time for pages to load. This will drive them away.

Battelle is the world’s largest, nonprofit, research and development organization. Their selling line is “The Business of Innovation.” Our overarching goal was to brand the lobby and cafeteria of their global headquarters in a way that embodied innovation.

The design challenge was to show Battelle as a global leader in science and provide a way for the public to experience their value. We worked with BHDP Architecture to reinforce their changes to the space, so our solutions would extend their goals. We also teamed up with a Obscura Digital and Murphy Catton to ensure tight control over the end product.

Our intent, throughout the lobby, was to monumentalize science in an abstract way. The molecule sculpture is where this goal is epitomized. A 3000 pound steel sculpture of a molecule reveals itself to visitors in the lobby. As they make their way through a glass wall the space peels away and reveals the entire sculpture, which can be touched and occupied.

The lobby also features an interactive video installation that has 4 modes. A sleep mode plays a subtle animation 5’ tall by 30’ wide. The follow mode tracks users with a branded animation which entices people closer. The user mode is a content-rich playful way for multiple users to find out more about the scope of Battelle and its contributions. The presentation mode shows a series of monumental video presentations, triggered remotely. The seamless integration of these, together with the depth of information accessible, makes this installation unlike any other.
