Client Summary
STAKO GmbH, with its three-decade legacy, is a global frontrunner in delivering labeling machines, conveyance, alignment technology, and specialized machinery. Recognizing their six-year-old website needed a refresh, they partnered with us. The mission was to modernize their online presence while preserving STAKO’s rich history and extensive content.
The Challenge
With a content-rich website spanning almost 60 pages, the primary challenge was to bring a fresh touch to STAKO’s site without losing its essence or confusing their loyal users. Additionally, the task of clearly differentiating the three related STAKO entities, without the overlapping logo confusion from the old site, required a unique approach.
