Source Galileo Website Design and Development
Source Galileo | A scalable website for renewable energy specialists
Rapidly growing renewable energy specialist Source Galileo needed a multi-site platform to match its expanding digital needs. We built a scalable website that not only highlights their expertise but also ensures seamless communication across their high-value projects, adapting as their business evolves.
“We are thrilled with our new website. Piquant’s holistic process provided clarity and strategic direction throughout the development process and beyond activation. This improved digital presence has proven instrumental in driving the growth of our business and fortifying our position in the global energy landscape”
Brian O’Doherty, Project Development Director
Source Galileo is at the forefront of creating large-scale sustainable energy infrastructure across multiple regions, taking renewable energy projects from initial ideas to fully-fledged, finished sites. We developed a website that revolutionised how Source Galileo engages with project stakeholders. Each project now has its own dedicated site, acting as a dedicated dashboard for clear project communication and engagement, especially during critical phases. Given Source Galileo’s dynamic development cycle, which often demands tailored content and pages, we implemented atomic website modules, allowing the team to quickly build, test, and deploy customised content arrangements with speed. The website also prioritises top-tier accessibility and speed standards, ensuring an optimal user experience for all visitors.
Website structure
We needed to serve two distinct end-user types: 1. those interested in Source Galileo and their offerings, and 2. those interested in specific projects that Source Galileo is undertaking. To address both audiences, we structured the website as a core site with a number of sub-project sites. This setup enables Source Galileo to present project-specific content clearly to multiple defined project audiences. The consistent navigation across all sites allows for easy exploration of content in an effortless way.
Content management and accessibility
For the content management system, we opted for Drupal 10. The key strengths lay in its open-source nature and the scalability inherent in its atomic design, particularly beneficial for handling vast amounts of content and integrating add-ons seamlessly.
The website was thoughtfully crafted to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, placing a strong emphasis on accessibility. Through an accessible front-end design and markup methodology, we ensured that users with diverse abilities can navigate and comprehend content effortlessly. We also revamped the brand colour palette to align with accessibility contrast guidelines. This commitment guarantees an inclusive and user-friendly experience for all visitors, aligning with the highest accessibility standards.
