Celebrating 12 years : 2013 - 2025

Charting a new digital frontier for the future of maritime tech.

Web design & development

Navarino is a global leader in maritime technology and connectivity, serving one in three merchant vessels worldwide. With offices spanning eight countries and a reputation for innovation, they needed a digital presence that matched their industry-leading position.

Their old site was weighed down by too much information, an overwhelming navigation system, and little interactivity. The new site had to cut through the noise with clarity, elegance, and intuitive UX.

That’s where KOTA came in.

The brief

Navarino commissioned KOTA to redesign their website to reflect their status as one of the most innovative names in maritime technology. The goals were:

  • A minimalist yet sophisticated design that stands out in their sector, combining isometric 3D models with a clean look and feel.
  • Elegant data visualisations and micro-animations to showcase their technology in action.
  • A streamlined navigation system to quickly guide different users—ship owners, IT managers, or partners—to the right information.
  • A CMS flexible enough to empower the Navarino marketing team to update and expand the site with ease.
  • SEO optimisation, training, and ongoing support to ensure long-term performance.

Design highlights

The site makes use of clean layouts, subtle interactions, and animated storytelling that keeps complex information accessible without diluting its impact.

  • Minimalist elegance – a clean, high-tech look that aligns with Navarino’s innovation-first reputation.
  • Micro-animations – subtle motion brings data, diagrams, and product stories to life.
  • Typography – a bold but refined treatment ensures clarity and reinforces authority.
  • Colour system – a balanced palette with light and dark contrasts that ensure a modern, high-tech aesthetic that still feels approachable.
  • Streamlined navigation – Instead of overwhelming menus, we created intuitive user journeys tailored to Navarino’s multiple audiences, helping each visitor find what they need faster.

The development

The site was built on a robust, future-proof CMS that gives the Navarino marketing team full control of content updates, new product launches, and global communications. And we optimised every page for search engines, ensuring the new site would be as discoverable as it is beautiful.

Our development team also incorporated advanced features such as data visualisations, dynamic solution-building tools, and full responsive compatibility across devices. Rigorous training was provided for Navarino’s team, alongside ongoing support to keep the site evolving in line with their business growth.

The result

The result is a website that sets a new standard for the maritime industry. Elegant, intuitive, and deeply interactive, it reflects Navarino’s role as a true technology partner to the world’s leading shipping companies.

The new platform empowers their team, engages their audiences, and positions Navarino exactly where they belong—at the forefront of innovation in maritime connectivity.

KOTA always go the extra mile. They make website development look easy when there is so much to do and cover. Incredible communication, friendly, and they genuinely want to do a good job. Excellent people. Of course, very highly skilled too. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
