Metal Interests

Business Description

Metal Interests was formed in the late 1970’s by the current directors and now operates from three locations in the UK including Chichester, Birmingham and Leeds. The Company has been built on the firm belief that the waste stream should be minimised by maximising recycling, with all the benefits to society and the environment that are now being recognised.

They specialise in the expert preparation of all grades of metals according to customer’s needs, offering comprehensive service for the collection and distribution of metals throughout the UK and servicing major import and export markets with all the main non-ferrous metals including complex metals requiring further segregation and treatment.

Project Description

Metal Interests approached Strawberrysoup with a goal of implementing a new online web presence to follow in line with the company’s international trade. Functionality was to be limited as the website was only going to be used as a point of contact between potential clients and the company. One of the main requirements was to use as much of the existing branding as possible and ensure the design of the website promoted international trade. Metal Interests have been major players in the market for some time and their current brand is well known. For this reason they did not want to loose their established brand image.

Solution

Based on their requirements, we came up with a design and functional specification to suit their needs. The website was to be built using simple PHP for an mail contact for along with the standard XMTML and CSS for the front end. Metal Interests were also in the spotlight during the website build phase. They were the proud winners of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the International Trade Category. This development meant the website live date had to be brought forward as well as a small amendment to the website layout which promoted all users into an award splash page on enter into the site.

Result

Metal Interests are thoroughly happy with their new website. Due to it’s success they already have plans to update it and add a few more pieces of functionality. Amending the website to incorporate Company News is now something they wish to think about as their number of visitors far exceeds their initial expectations. As a new initiative within Strawberrysoup, we are trying to gain as much feedback from our clients so that we can continue to provide a better service.
