Accent Awnings website was breached in the past, causing reputational damage, as well as negative impact on their SEO and digital marketing efforts.
The objective of this project was to build a new version of the website that is visually appealing, UX friendly to the target demographic (senior audience), easy to manage in term of content, and secure.
We used WordPress as a CMS platform and tightened up security through a combination of installing security plugins and using a leading platform as a service (PAAS) hosting – Platform.sh.
The website design was created from scratch with a mobile-first approach and usability in mind.
For content management convenience, we created a large set of reusable Gutenberg blocks that can be included on any website page, allowing for a high-touch user experience without requiring knowledge of HTML or CSS.
A new secure and attractive website was built on a clean platform from scratch in a couple of months, and provided client with a sense of security.
Accent Awnings chose to keep new website in pre-production state to make it live when the next issue with the old website manifests itself.
