A WordPress website which allow for regional content autonomy while maintaining a consistent brand and user experience across the entire website.

Buro Happold Engineering is an international, integrated engineering consultancy operating in 23 locations worldwide.

We implemented the Gutenberg block editor in WordPress, adding custom blocks designed to meet the specific needs of Buro Happold. This setup mirrors the front-end user experience with that of the content editor, making it easy for regional teams to use.

We developed a clear digital strategy to support the site’s long-term performance. Our design prioritises simplicity, allowing easy navigation and content discovery. The custom WordPress framework we developed places content control firmly in the hands of the team, while our commitment to continuous support and regular updates guarantees the site’s smooth operation.

This website not only met its functional goals but also earned recognition for its innovation. In 2020, it was honoured with an Archiboo Award for the ‘Best Use of Immersive Technology’, a testament to the site’s advanced features and exceptional user engagement.

Using the flexibility of WordPress, we built a framework that lets the team fully manage the website’s content. This gives the marketing team a powerful tool to fine-tune and combine content, showing BuroHappold’s approach to integrated services.

Our website project for BuroHappold Engineering is a platform that supports the company’s collaborative and innovative approach to engineering solutions.
