    The end result is a web portal that beautifully puts on display everything that Lafarge has to offer. By balancing the colour scheme of Lafarge with well placed white spaces and a block design we are able to provide information in an easy to follow manner throughout the site.

    The changes our team were able to make to the site’s design while keeping in line with the universal design guidelines provided by the Holcim Group allowed us to create a Lafarge web portal for South Africa that is unique in its own right while still fitting in effortlessly with the various other regional sites throughout the world.
