Client work from an earlier stage of my career, delivered between September and December 2022 through the agency Lets Comunicação e Desenvolvimento.
Many services, one company
Ottoset Energy sells and maintains power generators, and its work reaches well beyond that: aviation (modernizing ground power units), solar energy, and building solutions across electrical, civil and hydraulic work.
That breadth was the communication problem. The company needed a professional public presence that could present several quite different service areas without reading as a scattered list, and still make it obvious how to get in touch.
Before this project, Ottoset had a basic site with no content workflow. The rebuild replaced it with a structured site whose projects and job listings Ottoset could manage itself.
How the site was organized
The delivered website brought everything into one structure:
- Service areas as the main navigation: generator groups, aviation, solar energy and building solutions each had their own place, so a visitor could go straight to the part of the business relevant to them.
- Company information: who Ottoset is and why to choose it, presented alongside the services rather than buried behind them.
- Project portfolio: completed cases, with a path to the full list.
- Client references: the companies Ottoset already served, shown as evidence.
- Contact paths throughout: a contact page, phone and WhatsApp, a link to Ottoset’s solar simulator, and separate routes for prospective service providers and job applicants.
Projects and job listings were managed through Prismic, so Ottoset’s content could change without code changes.
My role
I was the full stack developer on a three-person team, working with a project manager and a UX/UI designer. The visual design was the designer’s work, based on a community template.
I built the site from that design: a responsive experience for desktop and mobile, the animations throughout, and the Prismic integration that made projects and job listings editable.
Delivered
The website was completed and deployed to production for Ottoset.
A reference copy of the version I delivered is hosted at energy.farrel.tech (opens in a new tab). It is preserved as a record of that work; it is not Ottoset’s current website, and it does not reflect any ongoing relationship. No traffic or business results are claimed for it.
Where it sits
This is client delivery from before my Product Engineering work: building and shipping a real production site to a team’s design and a client’s needs. The work that follows in this portfolio adds what this project did not ask of me then, which is owning the product decisions themselves.
