Linqhost

The problem

LinQhost is a managed hosting company in Groningen. Its customers are businesses: development teams, digital agencies, SaaS companies and larger organisations in government and healthcare. Buyers like that want to know who runs their servers and how secure it is before they compare packages, so the site puts the company and its certificates up front.

Approach

LinQhost brought the concept and the branding. I designed and built the site in WordPress. The main menu has six items: who it's for, technology, services, solutions, knowledge and about us. A small bar above it links to support, the status page and the customer portal. The phone number and a green contact button stay in the header on every page. The homepage opens with a photo of their own building, a button to try the hosting for free, and the ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certificates. Below that come the review score and customer logos. The menus open as wide panels. Under about us, the panel holds the company pages, the certificates and a full contact block.

Outcome

The site shows the people, the building and the certificates first, and keeps a phone number within reach on every page. The footer is organised by audience, so a development team or an agency finds its own page from anywhere on the site.

What changed

• Six-part main menu with wide dropdown panels.
• Phone number and contact button in the header throughout.
• ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certificates on the homepage and in the menu.
• Footer with separate entries for development teams, agencies, SaaS and larger organisations.
