BWI plc were a large packaging company. Their various companies were responsible between them for packaging just about everything you can think of. The site had to use their existing logo and corporate colours. This was quite a complicated site, each of the individual companies having what amounted to a 'mini website' within the main site. Eventually there were three levels of menus and keeping the navigation uncluttered and within the 'three-click' rule was quite a challenge.
The image on the home page was a collage of the different activities and products of the company, taken from existing brochureware.
In the end, the client decided to go for the design above, with a strong left-hand menu bar and 'buttons' along the top leading to the information about the parent company. Two of the other preliminary designs for the homepage are shown below.
