Modernised Identity
Move from a dated layout to a contemporary, institutional design that reflects SPG's strategic weight.
SPG Strategic Partners Group
A modern website proposal for a diversified B-BBEE investment company — built to reflect SPG's strategic role in South Africa's major infrastructure projects, including the Gautrain Rapid Rail System.
The Project
About SPG
The Strategic Partners Group is a well-established, broad-based black economic empowerment company — an original, active participant in the Gautrain project and a focused investor across the rail, logistics, construction, and facilities sectors.
Client Profile
Diversified investment & B-BBEE group operating across six divisions: Concessions, Investments & Operations, Construction, Isithimela Facilities, Optinet Systems, and SPG Advertising.
Scope
Full website proposal — modernised visual identity, restructured division architecture, dedicated newsroom, and a clearer narrative around the group's empowerment mission.
Goal
Bring the digital presence in line with the group's strategic stature — communicate the breadth of the divisions and the depth of the empowerment story to government, partners, and media.
The Challenge
What Needs to Change
A group of this calibre needs a digital presence that matches its role in nation-building infrastructure — modern, authoritative, and clear.
Division Clarity
Six subsidiaries with distinct services need clear, navigable presentation — without losing the group narrative.
Newsroom & Press
Press releases, leadership speeches, and media features deserve a proper, ongoing newsroom — not buried links.
Empowerment Story
Communicate the B-BBEE narrative authentically — community impact, not just credentials and certificates.
The Approach
How I'd Build It
A grounded process — respect the legacy, restructure for today, and ship something that scales.
-
01
Audit
Map the existing site, content gaps, and what corporate/government audiences actually need to find.
-
02
Restructure
Reorganise the six divisions, projects, and newsroom into a clear information architecture that holds the brand together.
-
03
Redesign
A confident, institutional visual language — refined palette, generous whitespace, modern typography. Distinctly 2025.
-
04
Build
Built on Next.js, deployed on Vercel for speed and reliability. Responsive, semantic, and ready for ongoing content updates.
