Challenges
AMTBNA’s (ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks North America) value proposition was previously nested within the broader corporate ecosystem, diluting clarity for technical buyers. The division needed a focused destination that explains tailored blanks in plain language, surfaces proofs and applications quickly, meets accessibility standards, supports bilingual communication, and gives internal teams day-to-day control without developer dependence.
Approach
We ran discovery plus competitor and UX research to define buyer jobs-to-be-done, then produced a simplified sitemap and page models aligned to engineering and procurement tasks. A component-driven web design system paired with focused UI/UX patterns improved wayfinding and readability. We built on a modern CMS (WordPress and Webflow), wired clear RFQ and contact paths, implemented on-page SEO, and instrumented analytics. Before launch, we completed accessibility checks, performance tuning, and a training program of videos plus a live session so AMTBNA could publish confidently from day one.
Outcomes
The new site positions AMTBNA (ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks North America) as a credible, easy-to-engage partner for advanced automotive programs, with faster pages, clearer application stories, streamlined B2B contact, and a maintainable CMS. SPARKLABZ was the right fit because we pair enterprise-grade craft with enablement, combining web design, UI/UX, pragmatic SEO, accessibility, and training to deliver a sustainable system, not just a launch.
