Concept
Information architecture for eleven services, six focus areas, expert reports and the team – with clear paths instead of a maze of jargon.
New website for EGM, the Institute for Electrochemistry, Electroplating and Materials Chemistry: conceived, designed and developed by VisionIT.
EGM is a state-authorised and sworn civil engineering institute with more than 20 years of industry practice – court-certified experts in chemistry, corrosion and surface technology.
Eleven specialist services, six focus areas and very different audiences – from industrial companies to courts, lawyers and insurers – had to come together on one website, without anyone needing a chemistry degree.

Inspired by the periodic table, every part of the project became its own element – just like the competences on the finished website.
Information architecture for eleven services, six focus areas, expert reports and the team – with clear paths instead of a maze of jargon.
“How can we help you?” – eight concrete questions meet visitors at their problem and lead straight to the right service.
Blue, cyan and violet from the EGM logo, element tiles as a recurring motif and a holographic hero that makes surfaces and reactions visible.
A dedicated area for courts, lawyers, insurers and private reports – with a direct call to action for report requests.
German and English with a dedicated language switch – for international industrial clients and specialist conferences.
Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS – fast, responsive and from frontend to deployment from a single source.
