Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Other approaches we have encountered while benchmarking the websites include using a static image coupled with a clear CTA. This is evident when looking at NOAH Chemicals’ website, as they effectively do this by placing a

3,933
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. clear (“Request a Quote”) CTA with an additional strip listing a few of their services. Such a layout not only guides users towards specific actions but also showcases the range of services at a glance. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Chemours has a similar solution, listing a preview of

3,934
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. their services in the hero panel. In their case, the previews are interactive — users can hover over one of the cards and see more details about the service as well as navigate to the page. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design While this is a nice interaction that can lead to engagement, it

Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. has not been adapted ideally for smaller resolutions. When users hover over a card, it inadvertently affects the adjacent cards, causing them to shift up and down. Additionally, the card next to the one being hovered expands to the same height but only displays a title. This results in inefficient

3,936
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. use of space. Two alternatives would be recommended to improve usability for the smaller resolutions on these interactive cards: Displaying the description by default, thus eliminating the need for a hover interaction. Removing the description entirely and choosing to focus solely on the

Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. information found on the tile, along with a button that directs users to the linked page. Picking either option would streamline the user experience considerably, especially on devices with smaller screens.

On top of this, the “About us” section can also serve as a space where the brand is

This fosters a sense of connection and gives a face to the company. The first website we analysed in terms of the “About you” section is Noah Chemicals, which skillfully implements these concepts. They display their industry

What this section instils is a feeling of security and trust for the potential clients. The choice of listing the materials handled by the company is practical and well-implemented. This allows potential clients to

Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Another great example but with a slightly different approach is the “About us” section found on the AkzoNobel website. They offer a brief overview and pair it with a creative visual to entice users

Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. to explore more about their activities. This approach creates an engaging and visually striking interaction for the users. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Akzonobel reinforces their credibility further down the page by highlighting their values. While this is a nice reminder for users,

Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. the visual hierarchy of the text combined with the images affects readability considerably.

Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Another common
medium
3,945
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. approach for the “About us” section is having a simple, text-only section that is visually striking. Air Liquide does exactly that, by utilising an engaging “about us” section to attract clients. In this section, they describe their business operations while also enhancing their credibility with

3,946
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. compelling statistics. Additionally, they include a link to a video that provides deeper insight into their commitments, along with a button directing to a more detailed, text-rich page about their company. From our experience, a frequent misstep is overloading home pages with excessive text about
medium
3,947
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. the company. Although it’s important to convey achievements to show the expertise of the company, doing this in a more subtle yet straightforward manner — as done by Air Liquide — tends to be more effective overall. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design ExxonMobil went for a similar approach,
medium
3,948
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. with simple text over a colourful background and a CTA. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design There are certain cases in which the “About us” section is not implemented effectively. Such problems should be dealt with as soon as possible so as to not affect the client’s impression of the

3,949
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. company. Evonik is a perfect example of such a mistake, as in their case, the text over the image is truncated — impacting the section’s clarity. A more effective approach would have been to create a dedicated paragraph for this section, accompanied by a button that directs users to a separate

3,950
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. “About us” page. More than this, placing some emphasis on key statistics and the vision of the company would have been considerably more beneficial. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design AsahiKasei adopted a tiled layout for the “About us” section on their website, arranging various topics over

3,951
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. images. While this approach can indeed be effective, incorporating a brief description would enhance it further.

Values/Commitment Section Similar to the “About Us” section, the values/commitment section aims to humanise the brand and showcase the trustworthiness of the company. Although this is not a very popular type of section for chemical manufacturer websites, it can enrich a

Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. homepage’s narrative and ultimately bring forth more clients. Chemours does this nicely by having a section where their “pillars” (values) are highlighted with icons. The visual representation makes the information easier to understand, digest and access. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design
medium
3,954
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. ExxonMobil does something similar to Chemours by highlighting their principles by using icons. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Despite the positive use of this type of layout, the interaction in this section can be disorienting for the users. When hovering over a card, the enlargement of
medium
3,955
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. the card with its description causes the entire section to expand. As the cursor moves across different cards, the shifting grey background and the movement of other cards create a disrupting effect. We would suggest incorporating the description from the start or using a different type of
medium
3,956
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. interaction, such as flipping the card — which would not change the height of said card. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Dupont features a dedicated section for showcasing their values, but it requires users to click a button to discover what the values are. This is a design choice that

3,957
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. unfortunately fails in fulfilling its potential. We would suggest enhancing this section by displaying a selection of their values, so as to make the information readily accessible — there’s no use in hiding such things. Chemical manufacturer website — UX Design Yet another solution that simply

3,958
Chemicals, Chemical Industry, Web Design, UX Design, User Experience. does not fulfil its purpose can be found on Sumitomo Chemical Europe’s website. They used a lot of text in this section and this makes it quite difficult to scan. A video would be considerably more expressive and easy to follow than an image. Sumitomo Chemical Europe’s approach falls short of its

This solution
