A website proposal for KTUA

Landmark public places deserve a website that does them justice.

Since 1970, KTUA has shaped how San Diego walks, bikes, learns and gathers, from the UCSD SIO Coastal Meander to the Chula Vista Bayfront. Here is how Brandcore would give that work a website as considered as the places themselves.

Fifty-six years of public places

San Diego already walks, bikes and learns inside your work.

Founded in 1970, KTUA now joins landscape architecture with land use and transportation planning, community planning and visualization. The reputation is built. Your website should carry it.

Before an agency calls, it visits ktua.com

Your work is first-rate. Your home page is working against it.

Cities, ports and universities check a consultant's website before they shortlist. Today, three things on ktua.com undercut the reputation you have earned.

Not secure

Secure visitors land on an insecure page

https://ktua.com redirects to http://www.ktua.com, so Chrome flags your home page as “Not secure.”

HTTPS on every page, set up properly.
03Speed
7.5 MB

A heavy first load on phones

On a phone, the home page pulls 7.5 MB across 48 files before it settles. On cellular, that is a long wait.

A lean build that opens in a blink.

Built for the people who shortlist you

Projects first. Shortlist ready.

A home page that opens on your landmark work, lets a reviewer filter to what they need and hands them a clean project sheet, on any device.

  1. 01

    Your work, up front

    Coastal, campus, parks and mobility projects, filterable in one tap.

  2. 02

    One-page project sheets

    Client, scope, year and awards, ready to drop into a submittal.

  3. 03

    Clean, fast and secure

    Locked-down publishing, so nothing appears under your name that you did not write.
