It's enough to make you feel giddy.

“Working with bd2 on the design and development of our new website has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the outset, they understood our vision and created a modern, professional site that reflects exactly who we are as a company.

 

We asked bd2 to design a versatile form layout that could be adapted for multiple purposes such as for apprenticeship applications, general enquiries and supplier information submissions. This solution has already proven to be a great success for us.

 

Since the website design, we’ve returned to bd2 for further creative work, including the design of our brand guidelines and a bespoke email signature. These additions will tie our branding together across all platforms, giving us a consistent and professional presence.

 

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend bd2 - their creativity and commitment to quality have been second to none."

Crossway Scaffolding Group

 

 

Working with Steve and Joanna to design and develop a new website for Crossway Scaffolding Group has been an asbolute pleasure. It's always nice to receive recogniton for your work so to get such a glowing testimonial from a prestigious business like Crossway is doubly rewarding. 

 

As part of the webste build we accummulated a lot of knowledge on their projects, the scale of which is truly spectacular as some of the videos on the site illustrate - they're worth a watch, as long as you don't mind heights!

 

The site, built on the Umbraco CMS, is a large scale corporate site with a wealth of content presented within Umrbaco's unrivalled content block approach. The home page features a corporate video, introduction with animated statistics, client testimonial, latest news carousel, sector overview and contact us form.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We developed a bespoke navigation with colour-coded header links with drop downs for each page which have a linked overview image on rollover.

 

 

Recruitment is an ongoing focus at Crossway, so as well as a comprehensive careers section, the site features 'staff stories' to convey what it's actually like to work at Crossway. The careers section, managed in Umbraco, allows Crossway to publish open roles and to create specific application forms for each of them using Umbraco Forms.

 

 

 

 

 

There is a large projects section with numerous case studies which can be flltered by the sectors Crossway specialises in - Rail, Construction, Heritage and Hygiene, there is also an extensive gallery which links to projects and vice versa.

 

 

 

News is presented in carousels, which can be added to any page, and a news section with preview image and summary text which links to the full article all of which is managed in the CMS.

 

 

The site is fully responsive with a fairly complex navigation to handle access to the large volume of content within several sections and many individual pages.

 

 

 

As part of an ongoing 'bd2flo' support package we provide a flexible range of services including monitoring, help-desk, back ups and security patch management, but we also provide digital marketing services and creative work. The package allows Crossway to use us like an in-house resource and call off work on demand. As mentioned, it's been a great experience working with Crossway and we look forward to continue supporting them.
