The challenge
Port users need to know what's happening now, not yesterday.
LPC's own design team had the look of the new website mapped out. What it needed was a partner to turn that design into a working site, and to connect it to the systems that run the port.
A port website isn’t a brochure. Shipping lines, freight companies and transport operators use it to plan their day, so the information has to be accurate and current.
That meant bringing a number of moving parts together behind one clean design, without losing what the design team had set out to achieve.
Every page had to be as current as the port itself.
What we did
We worked alongside LPC's design team to build the design and wire it to live data.
We'd worked with the team at Lyttelton Port Company for 10+ years, so we were 100% up for working with their internal design team on the new website.
We gave UX input along the way, and handled the technical side, coding and development.
We built API connections for several areas of the site, so port users get real-time information without leaving the website. One example is container release status lookups through OneStop and connected their N4 system to the website.
We also host the website, so the same team that built it keeps it fast, secure and up to date.
The results
Port users get live information in one place, on a site LPC's team can keep running.
