Portland Port

Transforming the digital presence for a thriving Port situated at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

We worked with Portland Port to deliver a modern yet functional site that communicates strategic clarity, technical confidence and highlights the beauty of its unique location. From the ground up, we created a site that communicates Portland Port’s heritage and expertise whilst also serving a broad and complex set of users — including cruise, commercial, tourism and leisure customers, both locally and further afield.

One of our biggest challenges was designing a site that would speak to all these groups without feeling fragmented. With a modular content design and user led navigation we built a structure that is able to deliver the right information, to the right people, as needed.

Operating on such a large scale, functionality was critical. We integrated real time weather and tidal data, flexible modules for cruise information and an overall system that allows for quickly updating important operational information, including emergencies.
