Introduction
Griekspoor Thermal Coatings specializes in cylinder rod coating, providing maintenance and protection of hydraulic equipment for clients worldwide across different industries.
They're also one of our first clients. We started as their Webflow partner a few years back, handling small updates on their previous website. Earlier this year, they decided it was time for a rebrand and a complete rebuild.
The rebranding was done by Mark Velthuijzen from upgrade.amsterdam, who also set the design direction for the new website. We translated that direction to the remaining sections and handled the full Webflow build.

the challenge
How do you make a website for various target audiences?
Griekspoor Thermal Coatings serves industries like offshore, heavy machinery, infrastructure, and maritime. All sectors where hydraulic components are critical and durable piston rods make a real difference.
Each industry has different decision-makers. Engineers need technical depth because malfunctions are costly. Leadership needs proof of expertise, authority, and trustworthiness before committing to a partner.
On top of that, Griekspoor needed flexibility to build new pages and adjust existing ones as they enter new markets. And they needed to attract new employees to keep up with growing demand.
All these requirements called for a clear structure, a flexible system, and strong collaboration.

what we did
Three strategy rounds, one flexible system
We started with an intensive strategy phase. For us, it was essential to really understand their business and their clients. We needed to know what would trigger their clients to work with Griekspoor Thermal Coatings, which aspects of the collaboration mattered most to them, and what information they would be looking for on the website.
The strategy ultimately took three rounds. By the end, we had clarity on which industries look for which information, what each type of decision-maker prioritizes, the key subjects that needed to be on the website, how they would approach recruitment, and what the overall site structure would look like.
From there, we worked alongside Mark on the initial design decisions. When that foundation was set, we translated the design direction onto all remaining sections and pages.
We looked for recurring patterns and turned them into reusable components. Where possible, we created multiple variations of the same section with different layouts, background colors, and text sizing. This gives Griekspoor total freedom when building new pages.
The Webflow build was kept native wherever possible, only using custom code when there was no alternative. We also fully restructured the CMS compared to their old website, giving the team clear direction when editing existing items or creating new ones.

the result
A scalable system they can build on for years
The result is a professional website that clearly communicates expertise and shows what Griekspoor Thermal Coatings can do for their clients. It speaks to engineers who need technical detail and to leadership who need proof of a reliable partner.
We delivered 50 reusable components that give the team full flexibility to edit existing pages and create new ones. Creating and publishing a new page now takes around 20 minutes.
The restructured CMS makes content management straightforward. The team knows exactly where to go and what to do when they need to make updates or add new content
We also applied SEO and GEO best practices, including meta titles, descriptions, and Schema Markup. Griekspoor Thermal Coatings now has a website that works well today and that they can build on for years to come.

testimonial
Don't just take our word for it
"Spect is strong on both the technical and design side, which makes working together easy."
We were looking for a Webflow developer for our existing website. The collaboration worked well from the start, and from there, ideas emerged to completely refresh our website with the goal of attracting new customers and new employees.
The communication felt trustworthy from the beginning, so we never looked any further. Together with our brand designer, we did a full brand upgrade for Griekspoor Thermal Coatings, followed by a complete website rebuild. The result perfectly reflects how we see ourselves—but more importantly, how potential customers and employees should see us.
What positively surprised me was how Spect Agency handled elements that weren't designed by our brand designer. He seamlessly extended the design language to those areas, which shortened the process considerably.
We expect to see more conversions—both from new customers and potential new employees.
I'd recommend Spect Agency to any company looking for a professional partner in building and maintaining a strong website that meets the standards expected in 2025.
