The
Situation:
FabTrol Systems, a leader in steel fabrication software, needed to reach
larger corporate clients and migrate current customers and internal operations
to a more dynamic support and work environment. The site needed to be
maintainable by the client when finished.
The
Assignment:
Develop a look and feel consistent with recently updated materials
that was friendly to the less experienced "mom and pop" shop
clients while still engaging for the more tech savvy corporate prospects.
We used java script navigation and animation to give the site a more
professional look as compared to their competitors. Additionally, on
this site you'll see an updated identity. We've been assisting with
the migration from one identity design that fit in the early days with
smaller clients to a more high-tech look that works for their newer
large corporate clients.
The
Solution:
Because the customer base is heavily weighted toward men, we kept to
colors and styles that men would find appealing. We focused on the product
first. Creating module driven self-advertisements on the front-page
java animation.
The
Results:
FabTrol's knowledge-base support and developer forum are used heavily
and have allowed them to expand globally and increase market share amongst
sophisticated corporate users. The Web site has been a central part
of the sales and marketing efforts.
