A full-scale redesign and rebuild for Gilbane included:

• Mapping information architecture and page flow
• Web design that accurately represented Gilbane’s expertise and global presence
• Creation of a focused keyword strategy
• Rebuild on a CMS that empowered the Sales and Marketing teams

The new homepage serves as an entryway to feature the Gilbane entities and give visitors an understanding of the comprehensive expertise Gilbane offers. Realistic imagery was incorporated to separate Gilbane from competitors.

The new site positions Gilbane as a global powerhouse while upholding family-owned values and a focus on highlighting significant accomplishments, showcasing projects beyond the high-profile ones, sharing stories of their employees and communities they serve.

To improve visibility in search engines all targeted keywords have a logical place to live on the new website – whether in the main navigation or on interior pages. Our optimization approach also ensured the site wouldn’t lose ranking power or momentum.

In 2018, Gilbane launched Gilbane Ink, a weekly blog designed to share insights, news and knowledge with the world. Topics include family, culture, safety, innovation, community, market insights and sustainability.
