Case study overview
Cloudbase Concepts
Presenting a professional online face to your business is a great opportunity to stand shoulders above your competitors through a design-led creative process.
We helped a leading Auckland supplier of printing, promotional and textiles products bring their business online in style; not only providing an additional unexplored sales channel, but also a time-saving way for customers to request quotes 24/7.
Cloudbase Concepts lacked any form of web presence for their business and regularly visited their customers with product and textile samples to browse.
With styles, fashions and products changing frequently, this is a time-consuming task.
Special promotions or end-of-line offers are emailed or faxed out to customers, often at additional cost.
The challenge: to design a cool web presence that reflected the company's brand values; showcased their products and allowed customers to request quotes online for urgent or last-minute orders.
With products and promotions changing so frequently, they also needed a simple, non-technical method of updating the website content in-house.
Through our design-led creative process we designed a usable and accessible website (to both search engines and impaired visitors), incorporating our structural design process to develop end-customer-focused sitemaps and detailed user paths through the site always providing a next point of action for customers.
Openfire Creative provided a striking visual design to help reflect the owner's ethos and company values.
Maintainability and updatability was satisfied by installing a simple-to-use and secure content management system allowing key staff to update and format the website content as easy as they would update a document on their own computer!
After the website was launched, Cloudbase Concepts saw immediate usage of their website in the thousands, with some great customer feedback.
The content management system made updating the website a cinch, with the enquiry and quote request features generating revenue within the first week of release and reducing telephone call volumes - a great success!
Cloudbase Concepts now have a successful 24/7 web presence and benefited from a design-led creative process to achieve all of the business' online objectives in a simple, cost-effective manner - with style!
