The interactive line map on the Baku Metro site, with stations and the landmarks around them. — The map is the front page, as delivered in 2015. A visitor plans by place, a commuter checks a change without opening anything.

Task

A metro serves two groups with the same infrastructure and opposite knowledge: commuters who know the network and need today's facts, and visitors who need the network itself explained. A list of stations serves neither.

What we did

Built the site around an interactive map of the lines, which is also the front page.
Marked the landmarks around each station, so a visitor plans by place and a commuter checks a change without opening a page.
Placed fares and payment, passenger information and a tourist section beside the map.
Gave the organisation's own material a path of its own: history, structure, careers, tenders and public accountability.
Explained hiring in five illustrated steps, from the online application to the job offer.
Gave every station its own page with its opening date, address, construction and a photo gallery.
