A new website for Gecko Headgear

Jeff Sacree started Gecko back in the nineties, first building helmets for surfers, protecting them from the elements to combat ice-cream headaches. His business has since developed steadily, and he now creates marine safety helmets for international organisations (clients include the RNLI and MOD), helping to develop the first standards for marine safety helmets along the way.

We wanted to create a website that complemented the products available at Gecko, and appealed to both of the very different markets that their products are aimed towards. In order to do this, we decided to split the main website into two sections, one with a more corporate look and feel, for the emergency services marine safety helmets, and another section for the extreme sports market, using the same navigation style for continuity, but changing the style of the design to be more lively.

The Gecko project is ongoing; we're continually updating the website, adding new features such as the "product zoom" facility, and updating information as the products develop.
