The ask

Show what moves, not just how.

Commodity Forwarders has shipped perishables since 1974, when it started as a one-person office in Los Angeles flying strawberries to Europe. The site needed to show the range of what they move, and why cool chain is a culture there, not a checkbox.

The fix

Let the cargo do the talking.

A video hero straight from the ramp, then a commodity grid shippers can scan by picture: cherries, seafood, flowers, eggs and poults, pharma. Services, offices and news are one scroll away.

What makes it work

Fresh, frozen and live.

01

Press play on the tarmac.

The hero runs real footage of aircraft, trucks and the people loading them, with a Play Video button for the full story.

02

Find your cargo by sight.

Every commodity gets a photo tile, and hovering one invites you in. It is the fastest way to say "yes, we ship that" to a hundred kinds of shipper.

03

Fifty years, three sections.

Services, About and Offices each get a big photo and one paragraph. Heritage without the history lecture.

04

Works in a cold room.

Big tap targets and short sections, for shippers checking in from a warehouse floor with cold hands.

Brand system

Navy and cold-room white.

Fresh, frozen & live.

Inter Light · calm headlines

Since 1974

Inter Bold · emphasis

Navy for trust and plenty of white space, like a clean cold room. Inter in a light weight keeps the headlines calm, which suits cargo that cannot wait.
