Website & Digital Marketing

Barrett Steel

The Brief


Barrett Steel have been at the forefront of the UK steel industry for over 150 years and they appointed Pixelbuilders as their digital agency tasked with designing and developing the new Group website to help improve their online customer journey and clearly communicate the group’s products and service offering as a whole.
 

What we did


We designed and built the Group website which unifies the four division under one roof; whilst maintaining the identities & strengths of each one.

Four divisions; one seamless website


Going into the build, we knew the website needed to bring the four divisions together at the same time as a seamless user journey, allowing users to find the relevant information needed for them. The build had dynamic stylesheets for the four divisions, map API integration and custom SVGs to maintain brand consistency.

Digestable and engaging 


The Barrett Steel brand colour is green but we also needed to accompany the other divisions and their respective colours to be able to differentiate the divisions. We designed and created an easy to digest and engaging dual dropdown menu and simple call to actions; ensuring Barrett Steel's key objective of gaining more leads through the website.

Optimising to success


To go alongside the site our digital marketing team were brought in to further support Barrett Steel with their online marketing. They wanted to optimise the site to improve their ranking positions and overall optimisation of the site. We set out by outlining the keywords and pages they wanted to build upon the most with full metadata implementation and other tweaks. They're seeing great results month on month.
