VentEko: a website for an environmental engineering firm
VentEko investigates and remediates contaminated land in the Baltics and Europe, and needed a new site that presents its services, industries and projects in Latvian and English. FORGET designed it first, with a design system, 21 page mock-ups and a set of watercolour washes, then built it as a custom WordPress theme of 27 Gutenberg blocks. The team now edits every section, service, industry, project and news post in the admin, with no code.
Each industry with its own services and projects
Visitors open their industry and find a page made for it: the services that apply, each with a line on what it means there, and the projects VentEko has done in that field. One tap on a project opens its location, year, scope and duration. The team sets all of it per industry in the admin, in both languages.
Key facts
- Custom WordPress theme on Sage and Acorn, built from 27 Gutenberg blocks, one for each designed section, with no ACF

- Design system, 21 page mock-ups and a content workbook that fills both languages with one command
- Latvian and English with Polylang, Latvian URLs such as /nozares/ and /projekti/, and 165 old-site addresses redirected to the new pages

- Contact form and site search built into the theme; form entries kept in the admin for 12 months, behind spam traps and rate limits
