Harbor Towing & Fleeting: A Case Study
Harbor Towing & Fleeting is a towing and fleeting company located on the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Their dispatch facilitates several services for passing vessels in the transportation industry. From tank barges serving the petrochemical industry to marine companies who work with dry cargo and heavy equipment, their services contribute to the vital transportation of goods and resources through our inland waterways.
The Challenge
On the heels of their recent website design and logo rebrand celebrating their 50th anniversary, Harbor Towing directed their attention towards enhancing their digital presence. To achieve this, they embarked on a digital marketing initiative geared towards boosting their online exposure through a more prominent social media presence and a targeted search engine optimization (SEO) strategy.
The Solution
A modern website design was implemented to show forward thought in the industry while making the website easy for their customers to use. The site was customized for easy mobile browsing, in line with Google’s indexing standards, current UI/UX trends, and a navigation that encouraged quickly finding services. Prominently featured testimonials highlighted client experiences and a contact form on each page provided ease of contact for potential clients.
