What sets the Hofex website apart is its professional trading platform that brings together the latest and most exciting food and hospitality concepts, products, equipment, designs, and technologies from across the globe. More than 2800 exhibitors from across 74 countries showcase the world's most exquisite food delicacies. The website's unique properties lie in its ability to represent the prestige and diversity of the event, which is reflected in the rebranded event logo - a golden, repeating pattern logo replacing the traditional apple logo.
The website's dark and monotone theme, based on the key visual and the golden logo, was realized through effective communication with the client. The website is responsive, ensuring a seamless user experience across different devices. Unlike most event websites that overwhelm visitors with information, the Hofex website is visitor-oriented, guiding visitors to find their desired information and web pages easily.
The project, which started in April 2018 and launched in October 2018, faced the challenge of not only creating an attention-grabbing website but also communicating the tastes and preferences with the prestige food & hospitality trading groups. Despite these challenges, the website successfully resonates with its target audience, making it a standout in the event website design landscape.
The Hofex website's innovative design and unique features earned it the Silver in A' Website and Web Design Awards in 2019. The award is a testament to the website's top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable design that illustrates outstanding expertise and innovation. The website's strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
