Electra Global Logistics: Pan-African Freight Web Platform
A content-driven web platform for a Lagos-based logistics company delivering end-to-end freight solutions — from AOG services and cold chain to ocean freight and customs clearance — connecting businesses from Lagos to markets across Africa and beyond.
The Problem
Electra needed to stand out in a crowded freight market by communicating specialized capabilities — air, ocean, land, storage, customs, and AOG — while building trust with SMEs and multinationals shipping across fragmented African trade lanes.
The Solution
Designed and built a Next.js platform with cinematic hero visuals, industry vertical pages (automotive, FMCG, pharma, technology, chemicals, manufacturing), and a three-step onboarding flow from contact through customized quote to approval. Structured content to position Electra as a strategic logistics partner, not just a service provider.
