Messekompaniet

Messekompaniet is a Norwegian exhibition and events agency that has been designing and building stands since 1971. INFIGO built the website that put that half-century of work on show.

01 · The context

A serious supplier needs a serious site

A company that has supplied exhibitions across Norway and abroad since 1971 cannot present itself through a marketplace template dressed up to look bespoke. The brief matched the standing: a faithful, well-made site built from a supplied design, with the work photography doing the talking.

02 · The build

A custom theme, not a kit

We coded the design into a custom WordPress theme from the ground up. The front page, the about section and the references were composed as reusable templates, so the layout stayed consistent across the site and a new page was a matter of reusing parts already built.

03 · The point

Code the agency owned

The result was a site kept entirely in code the client owned - no bought theme, no page builder, no plugin assembled around another plugin. When something needed changing there was one clean codebase to change, which is the difference that shows up in every year after launch.

What we delivered

  • A custom WordPress theme coded faithfully from the supplied design.
  • Front page, about and reference sections built as reusable templates.
  • A codebase the agency owned outright.
01

A supplier since 1971, brought online

Messekompaniet has designed and built exhibition stands, and run events, at home and abroad since 1971. The site had to carry that standing - a clean, confident presence that shows the work rather than talks about it.

Coded from the design, owned end to end

The supplied design became a custom WordPress theme built from the ground up, with the front page, the about section and the references composed as reusable templates. New pages reuse parts already built instead of starting over.
