Website design for logistics companies
We love cool designs too. We only work with clean, professional and well-executed designs.
But if you’re looking at website design as a solution to your online acquisition problems, it won’t work.
Design can support credibility and trust. It cannot replace strategy, positioning or demand. In logistics, confusing the two is one of the most common (and expensive) mistakes.
Work
Logistics websites we have designed and built.
-
CargoTrans
cargotransinc.comCustoms broker & 3PL · New York
- Before
- A 35-year-old business that looked like a small family broker online. Services buried, no pages for the lanes shippers search, and a quote form that attracted one-off shipments.
- Fixed
- Clear message (freight, customs and 3PL under one partner), a professional look, a page for every service and lane, and a discovery-call CTA that brings the right clients.
-
Interworld Freight
interwf.comFreight forwarder & NVOCC · Miami
- Before
- Hundreds of pages squeezed into two templates, a dated look and no way for a shipper to tell what they do or where they ship.
- Fixed
- A design system and a template for every kind of page (services, destinations, industries), a clear message for the Americas and the Caribbean, and a quote calculator as the conversion point.
-
Trucks on the Map
trucksonthemap.comFreight management platform · UK
- Before
- A strong product with no website behind it, and a message that only made sense to people who already knew the tool.
- Fixed
- Built from zero around the four problems a transport planner has, with a page per module, a professional look that matches the software, and demo booking as the goal.
-
ExFreight
exfreight.comFreight forwarder · Florida
- Before
- A site broken by a failed update, a dated theme and a quote process with too much friction for a company that sells instant rates.
- Fixed
- Rebuilt clean, service pages that explain each option in plain terms, a quote flow that takes a minute, and tracking so every RFQ is counted.
What it has to do
Pretty is the easy part.
We like good-looking sites as much as anyone. But a logistics website has a job: turn a shipper who is comparing three forwarders into an RFQ. That is why we never sell a redesign on its own; it comes with the positioning, the SEO and the CRM that give it something to convert.
-
Make the RFQ easy, and qualifying
A quote form that asks the three questions your sales team asks anyway: lane, cargo, frequency. Fewer tyre-kickers, faster replies, and every request lands in the CRM with a source.
-
Prove you are real in ten seconds
Licenses (FMC, TSA, C-TPAT, IATA), real offices, real people, reviews and client logos above the fold. Shippers are choosing who to trust with their cargo, not a design.
-
One page per service and lane
A single "Services" page ranks for nothing. Ocean freight USA–China, customs brokerage in New York, warehousing in Miami: each is a search, each deserves a page with a structure Google can read.
-
Fast on a phone in a warehouse
Half of logistics buyers open your site from a mobile with bad signal. Light pages, no video autoplay on phones, no sliders, and a phone number that is one tap away.

What role does design play in logistics marketing?

When does website design matter most for logistics companies?
+
When does website design matter most for logistics companies?

Can good design improve SEO for logistics companies?
