Client Overview
A top manufacturing firm in Dubai wanted a global website that would cater to its international customer base. Founded in 1984, the client offers a wide array of composite piping systems used by customers operating in the Oil & Gas, Water, Marine, and Industrial sectors. As a web development partner, we used Core PHP to design a new customer-facing web portal that improved product presentation, attracted global audiences, and maximized revenue. Business Needs
As the client had global audiences, it wanted to optimize its website. Moreover, the optimization initiative comprised end-to-end site redesigning. The revamp work would enable the client to create a global-ready website that would cater to its international clientele. The diverse business needs that the client had in mind before embarking on a website redesign project are as follows.- Building an international-ready website that would help the client cater to global audiences
- Redesigning a responsive website that could display the content on different devices: smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops
- Improving how the client would present its range of services and products
- Making the website user-friendlier than before
- Integrating the client’s different social media feeds into its redesigned website
Strategy & Solution
The client wanted to redesign its website so that it could position its array of piping solutions and related products to its international prospects and clients. Modernizing the website, however, required deep web development and redesign capabilities that the client lacked. That is why it wanted to join forces with a leading web development enterprise that could redesign its website and improve its ROI. After going through the profiles of different web development companies, the client finalized us. Being a full-cycle web development company, we have in-depth expertise in designing interactive web experiences, designing intuitive front-ends, and building robust backends. After a few brainstorming sessions with the client's business team, our web developers decided on the pages that would have to be redesigned. Besides, we even set the priority of the pages that would have to be redesigned earlier. Here are a few highlights of the project's front-end, backend, and development process.
Front-end:
The project involved many initiatives that would help redesign the front-end, making it more sales-ready for international prospects. Our developers focused on fine-tuning visual design and enhancing the UX of the website. In the beginning, the team checked Google Analytics data to understand different friction points that the users had to face while browsing the website. Here are a few highlights of the project's front-end.
Backend:
As the project involved WordPress, one of the leading content management systems, we did not face any major roadblocks while managing the website and its content. In a bid to streamline project delivery, we made sure that the site's backend was robust and secure in every way. We did minor tweaks in the project's backend to speed up the redesign work. Here are the key highlights of the project's backend initiatives that we managed.
Development Process:
Our development workflow comprised designing primary pages first. There was a high probability that the global audiences would interact with these pages first. That is why we redesigned these pages first. Once the designs were finalized, our team shared them with the client. After the client approved the designs, our team went ahead with HTML/WP integration of the pages. Here are the highlights of the development process.
