The challenge

Saint-Gobain designs, manufactures and distributes materials and solutions which are key ingredients in the wellbeing of each of us and the future of all. Saint-Gobain solutions span from self-cleaning windows and photovoltaic glass to smart insulation systems, water supply systems and building materials distribution.

At the new Saint-Gobain North American Headquarters, they're not just surrounded by more than 50 products from their family of companies – they're surrounded by nature at every desk, office, meeting room and common space. Their connection to the outdoors means improved health, comfort and productivity, and of course, it’s all sustainable.

With LEED® Platinum Certification for both the Core and Shell as well as the Commercial Interior, it just goes to show that the new Saint-Gobain home sets the example for how buildings should be built.

And Saint-Gobain needed a website to show off this amazing workplace, with the end goal of absorbing the website into their corporate infrastructure.

The result

We were fortunate enough to get a tour of the facility and meet some of the people behind this amazing company. This was invaluable in helping us understand the Saint-Gobain products, corporate culture, and pride in what they've accomplished.

So we worked with the Saint-Gobain marketing design group to turn their concept designs into reality. We immediately recognized that simplicity was key, so no CMS or other publishing platform would be used. We built on standard HTML5 and SCSS with a little ASP.NET/C# for scripting needs (like contact forms, etc.) and built a fully responsive site that looks great on phones and desktops.

And we also integrated videos from their Kaltura video CDN account, showing site visitors from ground-breaking to final opening, just how this complex was realized.

Summary

  • ASP.NET MVC web application
  • Fully responsive; looks great on mobile and desktop
  • Kaltura video CDN integration
  • Lightgallery photo viewing
  • Interactive forms
  • Super happy people!
