TESSA is a Greek construction and technical company contributing to a better tomorrow for more than four decades. Founded in 1980 by Christos Besiris and Naoum Passias, the company has successfully completed a large number of complex construction projects of every scale, evolving continuously through innovative solutions and practices and establishing its position and recognition in the technical and construction sector. Its vision is to lead the industry — not necessarily in size, but by always offering specialised, sustainable solutions that combine quality, innovation, and durability, contributing to the development of the technical sector and the prosperity of the society it represents. The work spans the full lifecycle: from design and construction through to operation and maintenance, across six fields of activity. In collaboration with Blind Studio (design), Kukarika delivered a custom WordPress + ACF platform that brings the company story, the fields of activity, the values, and the project portfolio together into one authoritative, easy-to-maintain home.

A four-decade construction and infrastructure firm working across building, industrial, energy, rail, water, and electromechanical projects — where the work itself, at every scale, is the credential. The site had to communicate that breadth and the human-centred values behind it with the authority the sector demands, and stay easy for the TESSA team to keep current.

01

Six fields of activity

Building works, industrial installations, electricity networks, railway infrastructure, integrated water / sewage networks, and specialised electromechanical equipment — each a distinct discipline with its own audience. The site had to give each a clear home without fragmenting the brand.

02

Project portfolio

Decades of complex projects across the country are the firm's strongest argument. The portfolio had to be navigable and prominent — "let our work speak" — not buried behind corporate copy.

03

Full project lifecycle

From design and construction to operation and maintenance — the site had to communicate that TESSA owns the whole lifecycle, not just one phase.

04

Values & people

A human-centred philosophy, sustainability, and a founder-rooted story (1980, Besiris & Passias) anchor the brand. The values and the people had to come through, not read as boilerplate.

05

Sector authority

Construction and infrastructure is a credibility-driven sector. The design and tone had to read precise, solid, and trustworthy — the language a public or private client expects.

06

Content autonomy

New projects complete regularly. The team needed to manage fields, projects, and content directly — no developer in the loop for new work.

A custom WordPress + ACF platform designed alongside Blind Studio — solid, precise, human-centred. The six fields of activity, the project portfolio, the values, and the people each get their own structured home, and the TESSA team manages all of it without code.

Custom WordPress + ACF Platform

  • WordPress + Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for maximum content flexibility
  • ACF Flexible Content blocks for fields of activity, projects, values, and editorial features
  • Custom post types for fields of activity and projects with rich metadata — discipline, scale, location, lifecycle phase, year
  • Editor-friendly back-office that gives the TESSA team control over composition, not just copy
  • Modular architecture that grows with the firm — new projects and fields plug straight in

Design Collaboration with Blind Studio

  • Blind Studio led the visual identity — solid, precise typography, generous whitespace, photography-led composition
  • Kukarika translated the design into a pixel-perfect, responsive WordPress theme
  • Brand consistency from typography to spacing to image treatment, on every screen
  • Mobile-first execution that holds the same precision the firm carries into every project

Fields of Activity Architecture

  • Dedicated pages for each of the six fields — building works, industrial installations, electricity networks, railway infrastructure, integrated water / sewage networks, specialised electromechanical equipment
  • Each field explains its scope, the kind of projects it covers, and the lifecycle phases TESSA delivers
  • Cross-linking from fields to the relevant projects — clients move from "what we do" to "where we've done it" in one click
  • Structured so the firm reads as one complete construction partner across disciplines

Project Portfolio

  • A navigable portfolio of completed projects across the country — "let our work speak"
  • Per-project pages combining photography, scope, scale, location, and lifecycle phase
  • Filtering by field of activity, scale, and location so visitors find relevant precedent fast
  • Image-first galleries optimised for full-scale construction and infrastructure photography

Values & People

  • Editorial space for the human-centred philosophy — "people at our centre", sustainability, quality, innovation, durability
  • The 1980 founding, the founders, and the CEO's voice surfaced as the trust signals they are
  • Vision and values told as part of the narrative, not relegated to a boilerplate "about" block

Performance & Maintenance

  • Lazy loading and adaptive image delivery tuned for large-scale construction and infrastructure photography
  • Cloudflare CDN delivery for fast loads across devices and regions
  • Core Web Vitals tuned so the firm reads as polished on every connection
  • Continuous platform maintenance — updates, security, content support — handled by Kukarika

A corporate presence that reads like the firm — solid, precise, human-centred — and a platform the TESSA team runs themselves as projects, fields, and values evolve.

  • Field clarity — six disciplines each have their own clear home within one complete construction partner
  • Portfolio proof — decades of projects across the country are navigable and prominent, the firm's strongest argument
  • Lifecycle visibility — design, construction, operation, and maintenance read as one continuous capability
  • Values & people — the human-centred philosophy and founder-rooted story come through, not boilerplate
  • Sector authority — the Blind Studio design reads solid and trustworthy end to end
  • Content autonomy — fields, projects, and content managed by the TESSA team without developer involvement
  • Growth-ready — new projects and fields plug straight into the existing architecture

// Outcome

The tessa.gr platform is a digital extension of a firm that has been building a better tomorrow since 1980 — the same precision in the construction, the same care for the people, the same commitment to sustainable, durable solutions shows up on every page.

With Blind Studio's visual leadership and Kukarika's WordPress + ACF development, TESSA now has an authoritative, editor-friendly platform that lets the work speak across six fields of activity and grows with the firm — every new project, every new field, every new milestone slotting straight in.
