HGA is an integrated architecture, engineering and planning firm who helps prepare their clients for the future. HGA works with an incredible cross-section of high-profile clients and focuses on collaboration, aesthetic achievement and client service to create responsive, innovative and sustainable designs.
HGA needed a new website to showcase their people, process and work with an overall goal of creating a competitive advantage for HGA. Aside from looking great and being easy-to-use, it was essential that the new site could function on a variety of devices (mobile, iPad, web, etc.) and easy to update.
Gorton Studios worked with HGA staff to plan, design, and build a powerful, elegant Drupal site. The site uses jQuery transitions to move from page to page and includes a menu-driven autofill filter to find areas of specific interest for potential clients (e.g. allowing a user to start typing 'sustainable design' to have that term autofill and then get to those case studies.
Working with HGA was a particular treat for us as we discovered we shared many clients and values. Both of our firms focus on producing real results for great organizations, and we do so through a combination of listening, collaboration and attention to detail. In some ways, we felt like we might be looking at a future version of ourselves as we admired the achievements of a great firm founded in 1953.
