A full redesign of the corporate site and a new self-service portal for clients — login, a jobs dashboard, a job detail timeline.

Brief

The old corporate site no longer matched how the company looks in 2026. At the same time, B2B clients were asking for self-service, so they could follow the progress of their jobs without calling account managers.

Work

• First phase: a pixel-accurate copy of the old site as a reference point
• A redesign of the typography stack, palette, and photography direction
• Content sections (services, fleet, certifications, contact)
• i18n setup with middleware-based locale routing
• A UI layer with Tailwind and lucide-react — zero extra dependencies
• A login surface in 2 variants (default and an alt for test/QA)
• A portal dashboard: jobs overview, status badges, filters, sort
• A job detail view with a timeline, attachments, and a comms thread
• Role-based UI states (admin / manager / client view)
• Responsive down to tablet — professionals here often open an iPad

Highlight

The maritime sector is conservative. I had to keep the trust and the seriousness while bringing a modern productivity feel to a team that until now lived in spreadsheets and reply-all emails.
