The energy transition is the focus of the new Gasunie website
Case
Your core business is changing, how do you translate that to your website? That is the challenge Gasunie was faced with. Gasunie manages gas storage and gas transport in the Netherlands and Germany. At the moment this is natural gas, but it will soon also be hydrogen, CO2, heat and green gas. On the renewed website Gasunie shows how they approach this challenge.
Focus on the energy transition
For the new website, it was important that the energy transition was given a prominent place. In addition, there had to be more space for visual content on the new website compared to the old website. It was also important that visitors reach the right information more quickly with fewer actions.
Prominent role for the different themes
Within the energy transition, Gasunie focuses on 6 themes: natural gas, green gas, hydrogen, CO2 storage, heating networks and merging energy systems. Each theme is easily recognizable on the website by its own color and logo. In addition, news items and blogs are provided with logos, so that you can easily see to which theme a post relates. You can also filter posts by theme.
All projects in a clear overview
Interesting, those themes, but what does Gasunie actually do with them? This is shown on the Projects page. A map of the Netherlands with 'pins' shows in which places projects are being carried out. Now and in the future. Each pin has the logo of the corresponding theme. Clicking on a pin will bring up a pop-up with more information about the project. It is also possible to filter the projects, so that, for example, you only see the hydrogen projects on the map.
Fast and easy navigation
In the main menu, all themes are provided with an icon and a short explanation, so that you can easily find the information you need.
You will also find top tasks, with links to pages for various stakeholders.
Easily search the website and project sites with Site Search 360
Site Search 360 is used for the search function on the website. This powerful search engine gives you control over the display of your search results. For example, you can add synonyms to frequently occurring keywords, group the search results and specify preferred results that appear at the top of a search.
The search engine on gasunie.nl not only shows results from the website itself, but also from other Gasunie websites, such as gasunietransportservices.nl, hystock.nl and netanders.nl.
Abbreviations and terms explained in glossary
What is a gas roundabout and what (or who) is NEL? Technical terms and abbreviations that are commonly used on the website are explained using the glossary.
Key terms in the text can be recognized by the dotted line under a word. If you click on a term, a pop-up will give you more information about this term.
Packages and modules
This website is built with the Business package and expanded with a number of standard modules, including the glossary, frequently asked questions, blog and Site Search 360. In addition, custom features have also been built for this website, such as the map with projects and the table of contents on all theme pages .
As a team we are extremely proud of the end result. The website has become as we had envisioned in advance and the way in which the content is filled also matches the concept we devised.
