The prestigious Tarragona-based firm is revamping its digital presence to mark its 30th anniversary
On July 8, we launched the new website for RèCOP Architectural Restorations: recop.net. Today we’re not talking about just any client. This is a company with more than 30 years of experience restoring some of the most iconic buildings in Catalonia’s cultural heritage, from the façade of Casa Batlló to the Roman Amphitheater in Tarragona, including the Monastery of Vallbona de les Monges and the Hospital de Sant Pau, to name just a few examples. The Tarragona-based company wanted to showcase this long history on its website.
Why an Update Was Necessary
The previous version of the website was functional, but it had become somewhat outdated and no longer showcased the full potential of the company founded by Roser Galceran in 1994.
Until now, the main menu combined the “Projects” and “Research” sections into a single one. The company’s history—dating back to its founding in 1994—was presented as a simple list of years and awards, without any visual elements to help users follow it. And the homepage, despite having good content, failed to convey the true significance of a company that works with institutions of the caliber of the Barcelona History Museum, the Government of Catalonia, and numerous city governments, among others.
Therefore, RèCOP’s online presence needed to take a leap forward to live up to the projects behind it.
The Changes, Step by Step
A homepage that says so much more in so much less time
The new homepage features a prominent “Mission, Vision, and Values” section, a section titled “How Can We Help You?” highlighting the four main service areas, and another section, “Why Choose RèCOP?”, featuring the points that really matter: client satisfaction, over 600 completed projects, a qualified team, awards received, and a commitment to the company’s principles. Immediately following that is a selection of featured projects (including Casa Batlló, designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí) with a button to see more. None of these sections were previously displayed with the clarity with which they are presented now.
Projects and R&D, Finally Separated
This is probably the most significant change we’ve made in terms of usability. Previously, “Projects” and “R&D” shared the same space in the menu, and in practice, the page only displayed research content (building monitoring, laser cleaning, and lime concrete) without clear access to the actual portfolio of projects. Now, “Projects” and “R&D” are two separate sections, and “Projects” is divided into five distinct categories: Listed Residential Buildings, Apartments, Houses and Farmhouses, Churches and Monasteries, Historic Monuments, and Listed Buildings.
Top Drop-Down Menu
“Projects,” “About Us,” and “What We Do” now each have a drop-down menu in the top bar. This allows you to go directly to the category of your choice—for example, “Churches and Monasteries” or “Infrastructure and Restoration of Historic Monuments”—without having to go through intermediate pages.
“What We Do,” with its own categories
The services section has also been restructured: where there used to be three general categories (facades, heritage elements, and buildings), there are now four distinct categories (Facades, Building Rehabilitation, Restoration of Heritage Elements, and Rehabilitation of Infrastructure and Historic Monuments), each with its own description and direct access from the menu.
A timeline you can follow at a glance
The “About Us” section has evolved from a list of years and awards into a true visual timeline, featuring a vertical line and markers for each year from 2002 to 2025. It’s easy to take in at a glance and, above all, conveys the sense of continuity that 30 years of history deserve.
A client that continues to trust us
RèCOP has been working with Dispromèdia since 2023, and this project is part of a broader relationship with its corporate group, with whom we also collaborate on other corporate websites. When a client of this caliber returns and expands the project, for us, that’s the best reward there could be.
