Problem
Champion Fiberglass was looking to revamp their website and bring the site up to current best practices from the backend to front-end/user experience. They wanted better UX, better performance and an easier navigation so users can better find content and helpful information including resources and inventory pages.
Strategy
The purpose of Champion Fiberglass’ website redesign was to bring the site up to current best practices from the backend to the front-end/end user experience. The current site was last built in 2016, WordPress had made many changes, and the digital landscape had also changed. With Champion’s rich library of content and complex industries they serve, the website redesign focused on designing an intuitive and dynamic content flow for audiences while implementing Champion’s rebrand. By strategically leveraging current best practices, we were able to implement Gutenberg with WordPress, update Champion’s site architecture for intuitive and user-friendly UI/UX, and establish a mobile-friendly site.
Results after the redesign
The new Champion Fiberglass website represents a professional, innovative, and a powerful visual testament to their capabilities. Exciting new content areas like the project pages build out their company story and the Strut inventory page makes it easy for customers to find parts with live inventory counts. The blog page uses intuitive category search filters to help visitors navigate their deep collections of content. The overall visitor experience is efficient, with clear paths to content and more concise menu options. And it’s easy for visitors to get to know the people behind Champion Fiberglass with their richly detailed About Us page.
Homepage
The old site was text-heavy, which detracted from the company’s updated bold and modern branding. The homepage includes the use of a video slideshow to display their latest projects, downloadable assets and more.
Website Navigation
The site navigation was designed with an underlying structure that appeals to the “engineer brain,” utilizing vertical guidelines pulling visitors down the page, while giving elements a clear sense of balance. Information is better organized and allows us to drive more conversions by better understanding users’ needs and giving them the relevant information they need in order to take the next step in their journey (education and product evaluation, rep/sales contact, purchasing decision, etc.)
