Background

The legacy site ran on a decade-old template with tangled navigation and a poor mobile experience; overseas buyers needed more than three steps to reach specs and contact details.

Content updates went through an external agency, so a single product change took a week — the marketing team could not self-serve.

Our approach

We co-created the information architecture with sales and marketing, collapsing content into a three-level products → models → specs structure and defining a configurable multi-language content model.

The front end statically renders with Next.js, with image and font strategies to keep the critical path minimal, while structured data and a sitemap cover SEO.

How we delivered

  1. Research & information architecture

    Interviewed 8 internal users and 5 overseas buyers; delivered a sitemap and content inventory.

  2. Visual & component design

    Built design tokens and 20+ components on the brand palette, delivered high-fidelity screens.

  3. Build & content migration

    Three languages developed in parallel with scripts to migrate and proof historical material.

  4. Launch & handover

    Connected analytics and indexing, trained the marketing team to maintain content.
