Partnering with a global leader
in subsea energy innovation
First Subsea
The challenge
First Subsea is a trusted provider of cutting-edge solutions for the global energy sector. As a fast-growing business—doubling its team, expanding UK operations, and securing new long-term partnerships worldwide—First Subsea needed a digital presence to match its ambition.
Hotfoot was appointed to design and develop a new website that tells the brand story, showcases its expertise, and reinforces its position as a global industry leader.

The strategy
Through a stakeholder workshop and customer survey insights, we defined four key objectives for the new First Subsea website:
Clarify the Value Proposition
Refine and communicate what sets First Subsea apart in a competitive global market.
Enhance User Experience
Improve design, navigation, and mobile responsiveness to ensure a seamless journey across all devices.
Create More Valuable Content
Develop clearer, more informative content to better serve prospective clients and partners.
Drive Enquiries
Optimise the site structure and calls-to-action to convert interest into tangible leads.



The deliverables
Planning & Strategy
Collaborative discovery sessions to align goals and define a clear project roadmap.
User Journey Mapping
Designed intuitive pathways to guide users from exploration to enquiry.
Sitemap & Wireframing
Structured the site for clarity and ease of navigation, supported by wireframes to visualise key layouts.
UX Design
Created a clean, professional interface tailored to First Subsea’s audience and brand.
Website Build
Developed a fast, responsive website optimised for performance across all devices.
CMS Implementation
Integrated a user-friendly content management system to give the team full control over updates and future growth.
