Air compressors for KAHD
Design · 2024–2025 · KAHD
KAHD makes air compressors. The range is called ABOT, which is short for Air Blast On Tap. While I was working with them they finished a new model called the ABOT Pro, so the range went from one product to three. The original stayed on the market as the ABOT Lite, and then there's a high-pressure tank that docks to either of them.
This was my first ever web build. The site is WordPress, put together in Elementor, and I picked it up as I went along.
Not all of it is mine, though. KAHD gave me the compressor models, and the designer before me did the hero video, the nav and the footer, along with some of the artwork. Mine is the texturing and lighting, the three product pages, the icons that went onto the machines, and the brochure.
The site
The range had grown but the site was still only talking about one product, so I rebuilt the middle of it around three.




The renders
The models came from KAHD as CAD, with no materials on them. I helped texture the new Pro, and then went back over the Lite and the Tank as well, because they had to match it. Every product image on the site and in the brochure is a Blender render.


Icons
The Pro's control plate has all its modes and warnings printed on it. I drew that set, and it went out as DXF and STL for the plate itself.


The brochure
An A4 trifold, using the same renders. The inside is the same three-product layout as the site, and it's the file behind the Download PDF Flyer button.
