Spliethoff has had a long-standing partnership with Fenêtre. In 2017, at Spliethoff's request, Fenêtre developed the Safe Sailings portal. This portal, focused on safety and procedures, is designed to stay as up-to-date as possible, even for ships at sea with poor internet connections.
When it was time to update the Spliethoff websites, it was only natural that Fenêtre was entrusted once again with the development of the revamped sites.
Studio Doen Ontwerp created new designs for the websites of Spliethoff and the Spliethoff Group, which were then implemented as a multisite in the Umbraco CMS.

Quick and easy access to global contacts via the websites
The customer journey has been optimized. Where the old site had long menus for various contact pages, the new site makes this information quickly accessible through a short selection menu. With just three options for the loading and unloading country and department, users can instantly access the correct information directly from the homepage.
Speeding up the quote request process
With Umbraco Forms, all sorts of custom forms can be created. Through a short form on the website, visitors can request a quote directly. Additionally, our developers added a custom autocomplete feature to the input fields for loading and unloading locations, speeding up and simplifying the quote request process. Spliethoff can manage the forms themselves within the Umbraco CMS. Submitted forms are sent via workflows to the correct email addresses.
Updating the websites with the latest technology
The websites have been fully updated with the latest technologies, including the newest version of Umbraco and Tailwind CSS. Additionally, the modern website design was implemented with responsive design and improvements in user experience. Within Umbraco, Spliethoff staff can optimize web pages for search engines and social media by filling in Open Graph, page title, and description attributes. All of this ensures a secure, fast, and easily discoverable website.
