Ophthalmica Ophthalmology Institute’s new website was designed and built by Lighthouse, an innovative digital platform which combines the elements of scientific excellence, trustworthy medical knowledge and patient services in one place.

Created using WordPress technology, it is scalable, manageable and supports a variety of different types of medical, scientific and educational content. What’s more, the new platform will make it easier for patients, visitors and healthcare professionals to access necessary information, contact a specialist and use the services of Ophthalmica.

A Clear and Modern Digital Experience
The redesign of the website comes with a modernistic look and design that clearly shows the proficiency and professionalism of Ophthalmica in providing ophthalmic care.

Well-read typography and information hierarchy make it easy for users to browse through many medical resources on the website without being confused. The information is arranged in an organized manner, while all major services provided by Ophthalmica are easy to access at any point.

Overall, the website appears both professional and technologically advanced yet welcoming to its visitors.

Content Designed Around Different Audiences
A crucial element of the project was developing a content structure that would allow different types of visitors to use it efficiently.

Patients and visitors can easily browse different diseases, their treatments, operations, departments and doctors. Simultaneously, health care providers and medical staff members have at their disposal special content that is specifically designed for them.

Such an approach allows each visitor to find their way in an efficient manner without searching unnecessary content.

From Medical Information to the Right Specialist
This makes the process of using the platform a seamless one, from the point where the patient searches for a condition until the time they make an appointment.

Condition-specific pages contain structured scientific information in an understandable format. Users will find quick answers to commonly asked questions, with links to the appropriate doctors, departments, treatments and services for each condition.

Afterwards, they will be able to browse through profiles of specialists, view their expertise and even make an appointment on the go.

Medical Services, Treatments and Procedures
Medical treatments offered by Ophthalmica, from the diverse array of services to the wide variety of surgeries performed by the clinic, are organized into an easily accessible and navigable system.

There are specialized pages where the users will find all the necessary information regarding the specific treatment procedure or service package.

Such a convenient form of presenting the information allows for increased transparency in decision-making.

Finding the Right Doctor
The new website contains detailed profiles of doctors containing information about the field of activity, work experience, scientific background, and specialization of each of the specialists.

There is an advanced search engine where the user can find a doctor according to his/her specialization, department, or topic of medicine. The ability to book appointments online and rate doctors makes the interaction with the Institute easier.

All these factors create transparency for the user and contribute to making the right choice.

A Dedicated Area for Healthcare Professionals
There is also a special section for health care professionals, containing material created especially for a medical audience.

Such an arrangement highlights the two roles that Ophthalmica plays, which are those of both a health care service provider and a source of medical knowledge and research. This allows to keep specific material available while at the same time not complicating the main user experience.

A Complete Information and Educational Hub
In addition to promoting medical services, the new website is also an information resource and a learning portal.

News, articles and even whole content pages are gathered in a well-structured section, whereas a well-organized video library offers access to educational and informative videos.

It is also worth mentioning that the website hosts the online library of Vlepo Magazine where one can find all available issues of this magazine in PDF format.

Flexible Product Presentation
It consists of separate structures for general products and specific medical products.

The information is adapted according to the target audience and type of product to make sure all categories are represented in an appropriate manner. The flexibility of this platform makes it easy for Ophthalmica to meet all requirements.

A Stable and Scalable WordPress Foundation
The website has been created using WordPress, offering Ophthalmica’s team a dynamic and easy-to-manage digital platform.

The stability and scalability of the website allow coping with the existing amount of information related to medicine and science, and adding new services, areas, and features in the future.

In this way, Ophthalmica gets a digital platform, which will keep developing along with the development of the medical skills of the Institute.

More Than a Medical Website
The new Ophthalmica website does more than just serve as a typical corporate or healthcare website.

It is an advanced digital health ecosystem that serves the purposes of both information provision and patient care. In linking together medical conditions, treatment, doctors, departments, and appointment bookings on one seamless journey, it becomes more streamlined, comprehensible, and helpful to all visitors.

By means of well-thought-out design, organized content, and solid technical base, Lighthouse was able to create a digital environment that reflects the scientific perfection of Ophthalmica while taking into account the needs of patients and practitioners.

Explore the new Ophthalmica digital experience and discover a clearer path to trusted ophthalmic care.

Through a clean structure, focused content and strong visual identity, the website presents the company’s mission, expertise and focus on Artificial Intelligence, security, reliability and innovation.

Presenting the Sthenos AI Platform
A key part of the website is the presentation of the Sthenos AI platform.

This section helps visitors understand the company’s approach, technological foundation and value in advanced defense and operational environments.

By presenting complex technologies in a clear and structured way, the website connects Sthenos AI’s capabilities with real operational needs.

Showcasing Technological Capabilities
The website highlights Sthenos AI’s core areas of expertise, including Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Quantum Computing, C2 systems, C6ISR systems and AI-powered operational support.

This structure allows visitors to explore the company’s advanced capabilities and understand how Artificial Intelligence can support decision-making, situational awareness and mission-critical operations.

Akrolithos isn't a new name in the natural stone industry. The company has built a strong reputation over the years, working across a wide range of applications and markets. What it lacked, though, was a website that matched that level of work. The old digital presence wasn’t doing the brand justice and that’s the problem Lighthouse was brought in to solve.

The goal was to design and develop a corporate website on WordPress that could present Akrolithos properly: its products, its completed projects, and the story behind the company clearly, without overcomplicating things.

A Complete Digital Presence for a Strong Brand
The new website is essentially the main digital home for Akrolithos. Visitors can explore what the company does, understand its product range and get a feel for the depth of its expertise all without having to dig around. The offering covers a lot of ground: flooring, wall cladding, Rock Face solutions, garden products, mosaics, decorative applications and more.

The website needed to hold all of that together in a way that made sense, both for professionals looking for specific solutions and for customers just starting to explore.

Clear Product Navigation
Getting the product structure right was one of the most important parts of the project.

When a company offers this many product types, poor navigation kills the experience fast. The solution was a clear category system that lets users browse comfortably, spot new arrivals or popular choices, and move toward expressing interest in what they need without unnecessary detours.

The visual side was given just as much attention as the structure, because in natural stone, how something looks on screen matters.

Showcasing Projects and Real Applications
There’s only so much a product photo can communicate. Seeing a stone in an actual space a hotel lobby, a private garden, a building façade is a completely different thing. That’s why the projects section was built out as a proper feature of the site, not an afterthought.

Selected works across architectural, hospitality, residential and outdoor settings give visitors a real sense of what Akrolithos products look like when they’re actually used. For architects and specifiers especially, this kind of reference material carries a lot of weight.

Strengthening Corporate Identity
Products and projects only tell part of the story. Akrolithos has years of experience behind it, industry recognition, and an active international presence and none of that should be invisible on the website. Dedicated sections for news, awards and the company’s broader activities help round out the picture.

The result is a brand that comes across as established and outward-looking, not just as a supplier with a catalogue.

Built on WordPress for Flexibility and Growth
WordPress was the right choice here for practical reasons. The Akrolithos team needs to be able to update the site on their own new products, new projects, news, awards without having to go through a developer every time. That kind of independence matters for a company that's actively growing.

The platform gives them the flexibility to keep the site current and scale it as their communication needs develop.

The Lighthouse Approach
The brief asked for something that balances visual quality, logical structure and ease of use.

That's not always a straightforward combination aesthetics and usability can pull in different directions if you're not careful.

The work involved building a product architecture that's genuinely easy to navigate, pairing it with visuals that reflect the material quality of the brand, and making sure the WordPress backend is actually manageable for the people who will use it day to day.

A Website that Brings Natural Stone to Life
What Lighthouse delivered isn't just a corporate website it's a platform that reflects what Akrolithos actually is.

The structured product categories, the project references, the corporate content and the flexibility of WordPress all work together to present the brand at the level it deserves. For a company whose work ends up in real buildings and real spaces, having a digital presence that communicates that quality is no small thing.

To Manna set out to refresh its digital presence with a site that feels as warm and honest as the bakery’s craft. Lighthouse redesigned tomanna.gr into a modern, fast, and story-driven brand destination. This new site highlights the heritage and quality of Manna Tsatsaronakis while clearly guiding visitors through products, recipes, and editorial content. The result is an enjoyable browsing experience across Crete’s land and ingredients, improved organic visibility, and meaningful increases in site goals like product views, recipe saves, and B2B leads. The website is fully bilingual with dynamic content.

Key highlights

• Human, photographic design with a unified design system and subtle interactions that support the journey without distraction.
• SEO-focused information structure connects Product → Recipe → Article for deeper exploration.
• Performance optimized for Core Web Vitals with responsive media, lazy loading, efficient scripting, and smooth transitions.

From brief to build
The goal was simple to state but hard to achieve: make it easy and fast for visitors to discover products and usage ideas while clearly showing the relationships between products, recipes, and articles. We combined a warm, human aesthetic with a photographic style that reflects Crete’s soil, ingredients, and people. Micro-interactions add rhythm and clarity to the flow, enhancing the visual story for both the brand and the user’s task.

Information architecture & SEO-first structure
We reorganized content into clear paths across product categories, product pages, recipes, and articles, supported by user-friendly URLs, accurate meta fields, and structured data for Products, Recipes, and Articles. Internal links encourage exploration and build authority on topics, while heading hierarchies and concise introductions make content easy to scan. Coverage across core categories reached 100%.

Categories & product experience
Category pages combine SEO introductions, sub-categories, and related lists to help users find what they need quickly. Product pages include essential descriptions, technical and nutritional information, allergens, and direct links to related recipes, articles, and products. Focused micro-conversions like “See the recipe,” “Download the leaflet,” and “Ask us” guide the next steps and enhance the value of each visit.

Recipe Hub that invites return visits
A redesigned Recipe Hub allows visitors to filter by occasion, product, and category. Each recipe page features ingredients, steps, timing, difficulty, dietary notes, and direct links to suggested products. This content model significantly increased engagement within the hub and provides practical reasons for people to return.

Brand storytelling & corporate sections
Pages like History, Our People, and Production serve as living narratives with realistic photographs. A connected Content Hub with articles and tips links naturally to products and recipes, increasing dwell time and emotional connection from the first visit.

Performance, stability & Core Web Vitals
We built performance from the ground up. CDN caching, optimized media with responsive sizes and lazy loading, as well as careful handling of scripts and animations, improved LCP, CLS, and INP across mobile and desktop. The migration was carried out with zero downtime, and monitoring and protection mechanisms ensure a consistently fast and stable experience.

Bilingual, accessible & compliant
The site is fully bilingual in Greek and English and is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring clear navigation elements and focus states. GDPR settings and secure form handling ensure a trustworthy and transparent experience at every contact point.

Yesterday, 12 November 2025, was the brand reveal of Elepedison becoming Enerwave. This change is far more than a new name: it’s a platform for growth and innovation, aiming to be more modern, dynamic, and closer to today’s needs. Importantly, nothing changes for customers, contracts remain valid, services continue uninterrupted, and the same trusted team stands behind the brand, committed to high standards, competitive pricing, and environmental responsibility.

Τhe Lighthouse team attended the official unveiling of Enerwave, the new name and identity of Elpedison, which launches a “new wave of energy” for households and businesses in Greece. The rebrand positions Enerwave within HELLENiQ ENERGY and indicates moving into more sophisticated services, a more human experience for the customer, but not a change that will affect current customers.

As a key digital transformation partner, we are excited to support these moments when brand identity, communication, and digital touchpoints need to move in lockstep. Congrats to the Enerwave team on this bold new chapter.
