Origin Tech finds and fixes water leaks without digging up the road, using satellite data and trenchless repair. We designed and built the website that finally matches the ambition of the technology.

Origin Tech do something clever. They find water leaks from space, using satellite data and AI to pinpoint where a pipe is losing water, then fix it without digging up the road. It saves water, carbon and disruption, and it puts them ahead of the way the industry has always worked.

The problem was that their website did not say any of that. It undersold what the technology could do and made a serious, ambitious company look smaller than it is. They wanted to step out of the shadows: a site that showed the capability clearly, told the product story properly, and stood comfortably next to the biggest names in their space.

We started by getting under the skin of the technology, because you cannot sell what you do not understand. Then we designed and built a new website that carries the whole story: how Origin Orbit uses satellite data to find a leak, how the No Dig repair fixes it without breaking ground, and why that adds up to less water lost, less carbon and less disruption.

We built it on Framer, so Origin can edit and grow the site themselves rather than come back to us for every change. The brand runs right through it: a confident type system, the deep Origin blue, the halftone orbit motif, an icon set and clear product storytelling, all built to meet WCAG 2.2 accessibility.

Origin had built something that moves the industry on, and their old site did not do it justice. Our job was to make the website as ambitious as the technology, and to hand it back in a state where they could keep running it themselves.

What we did

The result is a website that finally matches the company behind it: ambitious, clear about what it does, and easy for Origin to keep improving. It went live in 2024, and we have carried on working with them since, updating the site as their products and their story have grown.

Told the product story

Origin Orbit and No Dig explained clearly, so a visitor understands what the technology does and why it matters.

Built the brand across the site

Type, colour, the orbit motif, icons and photography, one confident brand from the homepage to the portal.

Theirs to run

Built on Framer and handed over so Origin can edit and grow the site in-house, without coming back to us for every change.

Accessible by default

Designed and built to the WCAG 2.2 accessibility standard.

Komodo played an integral role in developing the Origin Tech website. From day one, they took the time to understand our business and translated our vision into a website that truly reflects our brand, products and values. We are delighted with the final result, and we would happily recommend them to any business looking for a trusted web development partner.
