Website

Challenge
Rankin has a strong reputation built on over 200 years of expertise in cork closures, supported by a unique model of forest ownership and sustainable harvesting.

However, its previous website did not fully reflect the quality, heritage or environmental leadership of the business. The user experience was limited, content lacked depth and structure, and the site did not effectively communicate the breadth of Rankin’s offering or its role as a long-term partner to beverage brands.

There was also a need to improve visibility and performance through search, while creating a platform that could better support marketing activity, storytelling and future growth.

The challenge was to create a website that balances brand storytelling with technical clarity, elevating perception while remaining practical and easy to navigate.

Strategy
The strategy focused on repositioning the website as both a brand platform and a performance-driven marketing tool.

Content was structured to guide users through the Rankin story, from heritage and sustainability through to products, capabilities and applications. This ensured the site could engage both brand-led and technically focused audiences.

An SEO-led approach was embedded from the outset, aligning site architecture and content with key search behaviours to improve visibility and attract relevant traffic.

At the same time, the user experience was designed to be intuitive and engaging, making it easy for visitors to explore, understand and take action.

Creative
ArmstrongB2B® delivered a fully integrated solution, covering design, content creation, CGI development and website build.

The visual approach elevates the perception of cork and the Rankin brand, using high-quality CGI imagery to showcase products with clarity and consistency. This is combined with a refined design system and considered use of space, typography and motion to create a premium feel.

Innovative scrolling and interactive elements guide users through the site, helping to tell the story in a more engaging and structured way. Content was carefully written to balance technical detail with accessibility, ensuring it resonates with both commercial and sustainability-focused audiences.

The result is a cohesive digital experience that brings together craft, innovation and environmental responsibility in a clear and compelling way.

Results
The new website provides Rankin with a strong digital foundation that better reflects the quality and values of the business.

It improves user engagement through a more intuitive and visually engaging experience, while clearer messaging supports stronger understanding of the brand’s offering and differentiation.

The SEO-led structure enhances visibility and discoverability, helping to attract more relevant audiences, while the flexible content framework allows the site to evolve alongside the business.

Overall, the platform strengthens Rankin’s positioning as a premium, sustainable partner and supports more effective communication across all stages of the customer journey.
