A fresh breeze in our sustainable energy transition

Organization

Gemini Windpark - one of the largest offshore wind farms in Europe - is located in the North Sea, 85 kilometers north of the Netherlands. With 150 turbines and a capacity of 600 megawatts, it powers about 900,000 households. The park makes a substantial contribution to the Dutch energy transition and helps reduce CO2 emissions and stimulate technological innovation.

Challenge

The website needed to be updated to provide a broader and more up-to-date picture of the operational park, with the construction phase now one of many aspects highlighted. An update of the visual style was also needed to modernize it, supported by a new style guide for a consistent and attractive design.

Solution

Working with the team at Gemini, we gave the website a fresh and modern look. By using the no-code platform Framer, the site is now flexible, cost-effective and easy to manage. We also focused on ease of use and accessibility to ensure that information about the wind park and its impact is optimally findable.

The revamped website was designed entirely by one of our designers, without the need for programmers, which made the project significantly more cost-effective by eliminating the need for a full development team. 

Thanks to the no-code platform Framer, we were able to transform the design into dynamic and interactive web pages without the need for coding. Framer's built-in CMS functionality also made it easy for Gemini to manage the website and update content regularly.

To provide a clear picture of the wind park, we created a 3D model using Spline. Based on photos, we recreated one turbine in detail and created 149 duplicates of it, which were then placed in the correct locations using a map of the park.
This technology provides an interactive experience where users can rotate the model with their mouse or fingers.

We have introduced a timeline to clearly show the milestones of Gemini Windpark. It starts from the current 'Operations & Maintenance' phase and goes back to 2009, the year when the first permits were granted and the development of the park began. This timeline provides visitors with a clear and structured understanding of the park's evolution over the years.

The wind park new website offers a clear and structured approach to presenting information, with a clear overview page that highlights each part of the park separately. This layout ensures that visitors can find specific information effortlessly, thanks to detailed pages for each facet of the wind park, significantly improving the user experience and facilitating navigation and exploration of relevant information.
