About CSS Design Awards

The CSS Design Awards (CSSDA) is a global platform that honours excellence in web design, UI/UX, and innovation. It’s a highly respected awards body, judged by a panel of design experts and open to public voting. Their evaluation focuses on three core pillars: UI (User Interface), UX (User Experience), and Innovation. The Special Kudos is awarded to noteworthy sites that achieve a high standard of design, creativity, and usability. 

The Cantal United Project 

Project Overview

• Client: Cantal United, a leader in power distribution solutions

• Live Site: Cantal United

• CSS Design Awards Page: CSS Design Awards – Cantal United

Key Design Concept

At the heart of the Cantal United website lies a strong geometric foundation derived directly from the brand’s visual identity. The hexagon, formed from the cube in Cantal’s logo, becomes the primary design element, symbolising structure, precision, stability, and unity.

This hexagonal system functions both as a visual language and a layout framework. It is reinforced through complementary triangular forms, layered compositions, and hero visuals framed within the hexagon. Together, these elements create rhythm, depth, and consistency across the site.

User Journey and Information Architecture

Cantal United operates a diverse portfolio of power distribution and electrical infrastructure services, unified under one parent brand. The website was designed to clearly articulate these business lines while maintaining a cohesive brand narrative.
