Objective

To revamp the existing website by infusing a modern design aligned with Geri Designs’ brand identity, ensuring a user-friendly interface and optimised performance for better engagement and lead generation.

Challenges Encountered

  • Outdated website design lacking a compelling user experience
  • Performance issues affecting site loading time and SEO rankings
  • Absence of a coherent brand message resonating across the website

Our Approach

Discovery and Strategy Planning

  • Conducted extensive discussions with the Geri Designs team to understand their brand ethos, target audience, and goals.
  • Analysed the existing website to identify areas of improvement in design, functionality, and performance.

Design and Development

  • Created a contemporary design layout that reflects the brand’s sophistication and artistry.
  • Enhanced website functionality ensuring easy navigation and an intuitive interface.
  • Optimised the website for speed, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, paving the way for improved search engine rankings and user engagement.

Technical Implementation

The right set of technologies is crucial in delivering a seamless user experience and optimal site performance. Our approach for the Geri Designs website was to use robust and reliable technologies that would not only meet the present needs but also cater to future scalability.

WordPress

As a versatile and user-friendly platform, WordPress was the chosen foundation for developing the website. Its extensible nature allowed for customizations that echo the unique brand identity of Geri Designs.

Lightspeed Server

Hosting the website on a Lightspeed server facilitated blazing fast load times and enhanced performance, ensuring that visitors can navigate through the site seamlessly.

SSD Storage Drives

Employing Solid State Drives (SSD) as the storage solution significantly accelerated data access speeds, thereby reducing page load times which is crucial for maintaining user engagement and SEO rankings.

Browser and Object Caching

Implementing browser and object caching (Memcached) enabled a streamlined data retrieval process, further boosting the website’s performance by reducing the server load and ensuring a smooth user experience.
