TradeWinds Towing is a New Orleans-based ocean towing company that has been moving vessels and cargo across coastal and international waters since 2005. Their work is impressive, but their website didn’t reflect it. The old WordPress site was difficult for their team to manage and harder for customers to navigate. Important information about their fleet, services, and safety record was buried, and simple updates required outside help.

Their goal was simple: a site their team could update with ease and visitors could use to quickly find what they need.

We rebuilt the site from the ground up in Wix Studio, with every page designed around the people who use it. The homepage opens with cinematic video of the TradeWinds fleet at work, paired with key numbers that tell their story at a glance: Est. 2005, 25,750 horsepower, 7 vessels and 24/7 operational response. From there, visitors move through clearly organized sections covering the company’s mission, its full range of services from deadship tows to marine salvage, its fleet, its safety and compliance record, and company news.

Each vessel has its own spotlight with downloadable spec sheets, so prospective clients can find the details they need quickly. A dedicated contact section sends towage, billing and career inquiries directly to the right team. And because the site is fully responsive, it looks just as polished on a phone as it does on a desktop.

Today, TradeWinds has a website that matches the caliber of their operation, and a platform their team can update on their own.
