Business Context

The customer initiated the redesign of their manufacturing website to further enhance UX, improve performance, and support long-term business growth. Although the existing website had served the company well, evolving user expectations and new standards created the necessity to update the platform using a more modern and engaging approach. The project focused on delivering a contemporary manufacturer website design that would be visually appealing, intuitive to navigate, and centered on engagement across versatile devices.

The new website design for this manufacturing company emphasized performance optimization, which included faster page loading and improved Core Web Vitals. A key objective was also to strengthen SEO for the manufacturing industry company through a well-defined SEO strategy, increase organic visibility, and attract relevant and high-intent traffic. Scalability was built into the solution to ensure the website could grow alongside the business.

The reworked website design for this manufacturer introduced multilingual support to better address multiple European markets, along with a flexible CMS that enables internal teams to manage and update content with increased efficiency. Mobile optimization was incorporated from the outset to deliver a consistent and seamless UX across all screen sizes.

Security and data privacy were treated as essential requirements as well. The website was redesigned in full compliance with GDPR regulations, providing for reliable protection of user data. Overall, the website design for the manufacturing company was created to strengthen client engagement, support conversion growth, and enable the customer to continue expanding across Europe.

  • Implementing an SEO strategy for the manufacturing company to increase organic visibility, strengthen keyword performance, and drive high-quality traffic to regional websites;
