A website proposal for your local

A proud union. A clearer path for every visitor.

01 · The Foundation

Chartered in 1906 · Built on skilled work

A century of craft. A community worth representing.

Local 343 brings skilled pipe-trades workers and signatory contractors together across Solano and Napa counties. Your website should make that purpose immediately clear.

01

A skilled union workforce

Plumbing, pipefitting and service work across heavy industrial, commercial and residential construction.

02

A five-year apprenticeship

Classroom learning and on-the-job training prepare the next generation of journey-level workers.

03

A local connection

A Vacaville hall and training center connect members, applicants and contractors to the right team.

02 · Three visitor journeys

One local · Three clear routes

Different visitors. The right next step for each.

Make the first choice simple: explore a career, reach member resources, or find a signatory contractor. Each route has a different purpose.

01 Future apprentices

03 · Your New Front Door

A practical homepage concept

Your local, online. Clear from the first screen.

A recognizable Local 343 identity, authentic hall photography and three direct entry points make the site easier to use. This is a proposed design, ready for your input.

01

Make the next step visible

Place apprenticeship, member resources and contractors at the top, with clear labels and a direct office call link.

02

Keep announcements current

Give dated application notices a visible home, with an owner and an update schedule agreed before launch.

03

Protect existing access

Plan the transition around existing member links, training contacts and approved content. Test secure forms before release.

04 · Craft in Practice

A recent Brandcore rebuild

We’ve done this before. Here’s the proof.

The United Facilities Group comparison shows a clearer brand hierarchy and more direct routes to services. For Local 343, we apply that same care to apprenticeship, member resources and contractor information.
