Overview

Web Design & Development Project Overview

Fortis does the work that keeps a mine shaft running — hoist roping and conveyance, shaft maintenance and repair, underground construction and development — and backs it with its own engineering and manufacturing under one roof in Saskatoon. That is three genuinely different businesses sold to overlapping buyers, and the previous site made a visitor work out which one they’d landed in. The rebuild’s first job was telling them apart.

Each capability now sits in its own top-level route — Mining & Industrial Construction, Engineering, Manufacturing — with the specific work named underneath rather than summarised. Completed jobs get individual project pages instead of a gallery, so a shaft rope and skip replacement is something a procurement team can read about and cite. ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications sit where a prequalification check will find them. It is one of the NSGC family of sites we look after, backed up nightly and monitored around the clock.

Case study

Deep Dive

What actually went into Fortis Engineering & Manufacturing’s build, decision by decision — and the service behind each one.

  • 01

    Finished jobs, as pages rather than a gallery

    An air festoon installation. A shaft rope and skip replacement. A service cage replacement. In this industry those are not photographs, they are references — the thing a procurement team reads before deciding whether you have done their job before. So each completed project gets its own page with the work described, rather than a lightbox of pictures with a caption underneath.

    Three businesses that had been reading as one

    Mining and industrial construction, engineering, and manufacturing are separate buying decisions made by separate people, and the old site blurred them into a general capability statement. Each is now a named destination in the menu with its real work listed beneath it — mine hoist roping, shaft maintenance, structural and mechanical design, machining, equipment testing and recertification — so a search for any one of them lands on the page about it.

    Certifications live where prequalification looks

    ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 are not decoration on this kind of site. Somebody filling in a prequalification package needs to confirm them in about ten seconds, and if they can't find them they will email to ask, which costs everyone a day. They sit where that check actually happens rather than being saved for an About page nobody in procurement opens.

    Part of a group, on its own feet

    Fortis shares a design language with the rest of the NSGC sites and cross-links to Northern Strands and Certified Sales & Rentals, because clients genuinely move between them. It is still its own site with its own audience, not a section of somebody else's. All of them run under one arrangement, which in practice means a single place to send a change request and somebody at the other end who already knows how the family fits together.
