Shaping your Ideas
Now, we were really surprised with the request to review a site for a manufacting company that makes Plastic Moulded Components - but I suppose only because it was the first such request we have had. Now it is fair to say that I know absolutely nothing about manufacturing or even what a Molded Components Manufacturer can and does produce. A look around their website quickly gave me a reasonable insight into what they do and what they make.
Ok, lets take a look at their site and see how it goes about telling us what they do - because we do know a thing or 2 about websites! The site itself is a fixed-width, centered design and it’s purpose is to tell us about the company. It has a small but useful header with the primary navigation. The nav has links about the Company’s products and services as you would expect, along with Company info including Location and Contact information. The site makes extensive use of flash - which I am not a great fan of, but they have managed to pull it off - and have only used it for image slideshows and not done anything stupid like relying on it for navigation.
The site is actually written in 3 Languages - English, Italian and Dutch. When you view the site there is a link to the other 2 languages the site is written in as part of the navigation. The integration of the mulitiple languages is well done. As far as websites go, it is very functional, a little “industrial” looking but overall it is very well done. They have taken the time to do it right and I would guess that this would be their overall company philosophy as well.
Overall, I am quite impressed with the site and how it is put together - a lot of people could learn from it. Like I said, I know just about nothing about the products, but their website means I know know a little about what they do.
