Blue Clover to Create Website for Arkel Group
Arkel Group has chosen Blue Clover—an award-winning On and Off-Line Branding™ firm—to create a user-friendly, informative website that is 100% content manageable, allowing the client to keep its information fresh 24/7. The website will go live in the early second quarter of the year. Blue Clover will also assist with business development consulting.
Arkel is a full-service design, engineering, construction company that has worked in 20 states in the U.S. and 40 countries throughout the world, over the last 50 years. It specializes in offering construction, life support and logistic services globally, sometimes under some of the most difficult conditions imaginable. Presently, Arkel is bringing its expertise to Iraq, offering complete design and construction services, using more than 30 Iraqi engineers and more than 750 Iraqi craftsmen/laborers.
On the home front, Arkel provided temporary home sites for the people who lost their homes due to Hurricane Katrina. Other countries where Arkel has completed projects include China, Columbia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Nicaragua, Panama, Rwanda, Russia, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, Tanzania and Uganda.
“To speak to their variety of international customers—be it a war-torn country in the Middle East, or a U.S. state ravaged by a flood—Blue Clover’s creative and technology teams will develop a website that is extremely easy to navigate, but has all the relevant information for its industry,” says Jody Tidwell, Business Development, Blue Clover Southeast Division. “Blue Clover is up to the great challenge designing a conglomerate site for a company such as Arkel that has many divisions.”
“We can already tell we made the right choice by choosing Blue Clover to design our website because they are taking the time to understand our company culture and our goals,” said George Knost, president, Arkel Group. “We are excited to see the website concepts that Blue Clover develops.”
