01 / Project delivery
Commercial installations
First and second fix, wet heating and commissioning belong together because they share a build programme and quotation process.
Case 05 · Civanta Building Services · Portfolio concept
A fictional commercial building-services website that brings technical scope, customer responsibilities and a dimensional plant-room hero into one clear digital experience.

The design process
01 / Business intention
The brief was to position a commercial water-side specialist, not a general domestic repair service. Contractors need scope, programme coordination and handover clarity; property and facilities teams need maintenance, access and reporting information.
We organised the experience around those responsibilities. The intended benefit is better self-selection and more useful enquiries—not simply more clicks. As a fictional portfolio project, no real clients, credentials or commercial results are claimed.
02 / Brand & visual system
Civanta’s modular four-part mark suggests connected components. Ink, signal blue, pale steel and warm white create a technical but approachable identity. Geist Sans headlines, Geist Mono labels, fine grids and generous spacing turn dense service information into a readable hierarchy.
03 / Service architecture
Two audience pages provide context. The Services hub then separates four needs, each with its own scope, information requirements and next step.
01 / Project delivery
First and second fix, wet heating and commissioning belong together because they share a build programme and quotation process.
02 / In operation
Fault attendance and scheduled visits share the needs of occupied sites: access, authorisation and clear reporting.
03 / After handover
A separate route makes the agreed period, instruction process and responsibility boundaries easier to understand.
04 / Technical services
HIUs, chlorination and system cleaning stay discoverable without filling the main menu with specialist terminology.
04 / The dimensional hero
The plant-room formation makes coordination visible: metallic components and staged depth become a visual metaphor for a connected building-services system.
The delivered effect uses 72 pre-rendered WebP frames on a 2D canvas. JavaScript maps native scroll progress to the sequence, loads nearby frames and settles the completed scene into a framed layout. It creates a 3D-style impression without a live WebGL model; the original editable modelling files are not included.
05 / Menu formation
The compact menu expands into a panel with staggered text reveals. Audience routes lead the hierarchy, followed by Services, Work, About, pricing, FAQs and Contact. Technical subcategories live in the Services hub; detail pages add local section links. This keeps the primary navigation short enough to scan while supporting deeper research.

06 / Front-end & art direction
Responsive CSS handles grids, type, cards and menu motion. JavaScript coordinates frame loading, reveals and carousel controls; the source includes keyboard menu handling and reduced-motion alternatives. Self-hosted fonts and WebP images keep the static Cloudflare package self-contained.
AI-generated work scenes establish a consistent technical art direction. They illustrate service contexts, not completed commissions; generic stock photography is also kept separate from project evidence.

Depth Digital / Portfolio concept
A study in turning a complex commercial offer into confident positioning, purposeful motion and understandable navigation.
