Solid State PLC

Founded in 1971 and listed on AIM (part of the London Stock Exchange), Solid State Group is a leading value-added electronics group supplying commercial, industrial and military markets with durable components, assemblies and manufactured systems for use in critical applications, with a particular emphasis on specialist and harsh operational environments.

Today, the company employs over 400 people across 16 sites in the United Kingdom, European Union and United States of America. Solid State is a truly international company, with customers in over 50 countries

The Brief

Solid State needed a high quality website which would provide potential investors with all the information they needed on the company. Critical to this, was a striking and engaging design, with a formal, but approachable tone.

The site needed to clearly and confidently display the company branding, mission, vision and values, as well as detailed investor and stakeholder information, including a live share price, policies, interim results, investor presentations, case studies and whitepapers.

Our Approach

The project started with an in-depth discovery session to comprehensively understand Solid State Group’s objectives. Subsequently, we developed a statement of work that meticulously detailed and prioritised all requirements and deliverables, ensuring complete clarity before the onset of development.

The development phase initiated with the creation of the site structure, wireframing, and design with placeholder content, followed by the incorporation of final copy, files, and information necessary for project completion.

We have now worked with Kanuka on a number of projects and can wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Live Share Price

The live share price ticker is a crucial service for Solid State’s investors and stakeholders, providing real-time updates directly from the London Stock Exchange with every page refresh. This feature is essential for keeping investors informed about the company’s market performance, enabling timely and informed decision-making, and enhancing transparency and trust in the company’s financial health.

Video Hero Banners

To create an engaging and instantly attractive site experience for visitors, we developed hero banners with live video and audio for key pages. This dynamic approach not only establishes a strong brand presence but also effectively communicates key messages in a more captivating and entertaining manner than traditional text.

The use of multimedia elements helps transform otherwise dry content into an engaging and approachable experience, encouraging deeper interaction and retention.

Bespoke Document Upload System

As a publicly listed company, it was essential to facilitate the easy upload of financial news to the site for investors. This encompasses news updates, detailed investor and stakeholder information, policies, interim results, investor presentations, case studies, and white papers.

We developed a customised system that allows Solid State Group staff to effortlessly upload these documents. This accessibility is crucial for shareholders, investors, and the broader market, as it ensures timely dissemination of information, promotes transparency, and supports informed decision-making.

Interactive Company Locations Map

As a global enterprise with diverse functional business units, it is crucial to clearly showcase the location and purpose of all Solid State Group operations worldwide. To achieve this, we developed an interactive map that visually represents each business unit’s geographical position and function.

This tool not only highlights the company’s extensive global reach but also provides potential investors with a clear understanding of where and how Solid State Group operates, fostering confidence and informed decision-making.

Animated Financial Overviews

To make detailed financial performance data more engaging, we developed an animated dashboard that graphically represents the business’s performance. This dynamic presentation goes beyond simple, downloadable documents, making the information more accessible and visually appealing. By bringing financial data to life, we help stakeholders quickly grasp key insights, supporting informed decision-making and enhancing overall engagement with the company’s financial health.

Corporate Financial Governance

As a publicly listed company, there were a significant quantity of legal obligations for the presentation and accuracy of company information. For example the AIM 26 rule and Corporate Governance Code. As Kanuka Digital are an ISO 9001 and 27001 certified business, we were well placed to help ensure Solid State Group met these legal obligations in an engaging and accessible manner.
