Hello world! From setting the stage for some of the biggest stars on the planet, to providing ground support for global brands, Knight Rigging Services (KRS) now has a website that reflects the level of work they provide.
While the Fylde firm takes centre stage, Happy has been supporting them with a brand new website which supports their expanding empire.
Already this summer, KRS have transformed Wembley into a place for adoring Adele fans, helped put up spaceship rigs for the Electric Light Orchestra and are set to offer ground support at Manchester Central for MCM Comic Con.
Behind the scenes, Happy web designers and web developers have been creating a platform with which to demonstrate the broad spectrum of work with which KRS are involved in.
Their old website didn’t reflect the company’s international appeal so they were looking for something where potential clients could see the services they provided and the standards they achieve through every event they are part of.
To achieve this, Happy web designers created an angular and formulaic structure on which to build the website – much like the truss KRS work with on a daily basis.
Sylwia Lukjanowska, a Happy web developer, said: “Built on WordPress, the website is fully responsive, adapting on mobile to ensure the best possible user journey. It was also built with the user in mind, with easy uploading of content and a content management system.
“The website is a blend of cool and corporate, reflective of KRS, and allows users to navigate around with ease. Imagery played a key part in the design, and we’ve introduced some video elements to give further energy to the site.”
When looking at previous projects KRS have worked on, Happy designers took a plain text list of the bands and acts, and transformed it into an ever-growing festival style poster dubbed ‘The greatest line-up that’s ever been’.
Carrie Knight, general manager at KRS, said: “Our old site was built a number of years ago and did not reflect the changes in our brand and the expansion of our business.
“We felt Happy was a perfect match for KRS, an expanding business based like us on the Fylde with a national portfolio.
“From the start of the process everything was transparent re costs and it’s this integrity that shines through in all their dealings.”
