Rexa Export

Project Overview

REXA – Russia Export Assistance was designed and developed in 2005 by Isura Wickramarachchi as a professional corporate website for an international business consultancy specializing in export assistance, international trade, and business development.

Developed as a static HTML website, the project was created to establish a professional online presence while introducing the company's consulting services for businesses seeking to enter or expand within international markets. The website focused on presenting corporate information, business services, company updates, and industry news through a clean, organized, and visually appealing interface.

The project was designed to inspire confidence among international clients by combining a modern corporate identity with a clear information structure and intuitive navigation.

Design & Structure

The website features a modern international corporate design that reflects professionalism, global business, and cross-border trade. Rather than adopting the conventional box-style layouts common during the mid-2000s, the interface incorporates flowing curved graphical elements that create a smooth and elegant visual composition.

A panoramic header introduces the corporate identity with business professionals walking forward, symbolizing progress, leadership, and international business growth. Complementing this is a world map graphic that reinforces the company's global focus.

The homepage is organized into three clearly defined content areas. The central section presents the company's welcome message, while the right-hand column highlights News and What's New, allowing important announcements to remain visible from the homepage. Carefully positioned imagery and balanced white space create a professional reading experience without overwhelming visitors.

The soft combination of blue, white, and pink gradients gives the website a distinctive corporate identity while maintaining a clean and contemporary appearance.

Rather than relying on standard corporate templates, the website combined custom graphics, elegant curved layouts, and carefully organized content to communicate credibility, professionalism, and global business expertise.

The project reflects Isura Wickramarachchi's philosophy of creating unique, handcrafted corporate websites tailored to each client's industry and brand identity. Through its distinctive visual presentation, balanced layout, and international business theme, the website successfully conveyed the company's services while providing an engaging and user-friendly experience. More than two decades later, it remains an excellent example of early corporate web design where originality, usability, and strong branding were combined to create a memorable digital presence.
