Freight forwarder websites usually open with a stock photo of a container ship and a vague "global logistics solutions" line. But buyers arrive with two specific questions: where is my container? and how long will it take?
The idea
Answer both questions before anyone scrolls, and let the service pages do the selling after that.
What I designed and built
Tracking in the hero: enter a container or booking number and get a milestone timeline (booked, departed, customs, delivered).
Sortable transit table: routes, modes and typical transit times in one scannable table, instead of a "contact us for rates" dead end.
Clear headline: "Your freight, tracked by people who answer the phone." It turns a commodity service into a relationship.
Services as one coordinator: ocean, air, road and customs shown as a single point of contact.
Quote request built for B2B: asks for origin, destination, mode and volume up front, so sales gets usable leads.
Why it matters for a real forwarder
Fewer "where's my shipment?" emails, better-qualified quote requests, and a site that looks as dependable as the service.
Stack
Next.js, Tailwind, an API-ready tracking component (designed for carrier or TMS data), and a headless CMS for routes and services.
