Challenge

Group sites usually do nothing well — too generic for buyers, too thin for partners. The brief was to build a site that genuinely routes traffic to the right business, reads as one institution rather than four, and stays GDPR-aligned for an EU-anchored audience.

Approach
  1. (01)

    Built a bold, dark Webflow layout that treats each business unit as a hero card with its own visual identity but a shared brand language.

  2. (02)

    Webflow CMS drives cross-promotion between business units without manual updates, with Swiper.js carousels showcasing success stories and services.

  3. (03)

    Smart routing and contact intake so cross-unit leads land in the right place automatically.

  4. (04)

    Google Tag Manager configured for comprehensive analytics, with privacy best-practices built in.

Outcome

A confident parent-brand site that handles four business units coherently, with self-serve content for the group marketing team.
