Revamping a Canadian-Based International Modeling Agency Website for Enhanced Functionality and User Experience
Services
Brief
- Dulcedo, a renowned Canadian-based modeling agency, recognized the imperative to overhaul their existing website in order to maintain their unique ascent in the swiftly evolving digital landscape. Furthermore, their recent expansion through acquisitions and mergers ushered them into a diversification phase, necessitating the establishment of distinct division-based identities and corresponding sub-brandings.During this critical rebranding phase, Dulcedo meticulously crafted web mockups tailored to meet the specific requirements of its primary brand and its four subsidiary entities, thus forging a unique and unmistakable ecosystem. It is from this juncture that the quest for a web development and webmastering partner emerged.Dulcedo's focus for their new website extended beyond rebranding; it also aimed to modernize the visual appeal with five custom-built website themes. This endeavor, however, was grounded in their desire to retain their CMS, WordPress, owing to its extensive history and the presence of custom-built plugins and add-ons that supported their business objectives. Lastly, it was crucial to actualize and adapt their permalink structure and metadata to align with a comprehensive SEO strategy by division, a step they were preparing to undertake with a chosen consultant.
Solution
To accommodate the evolving visual structure of the website, responding to Dulcedo’s request to avoid common visual builders, UPenterprise delivered tailored custom-built themes – a set of five – employing the contemporary React-based framework, Tailwind CSS. The primary objective was to create a user-centric website that not only facilitated easy navigation but also delivered an aesthetically pleasing and engaging visual experience.
Moreover, recognizing the Dulcedo website’s pivotal role as the primary working tool for its agents on a daily basis, UPenterprise introduced elements of visual and language artificial intelligence. These enhancements streamlined their daily tasks, encompassing photo editing and translation, while maintaining impeccable photo quality and offering multilingual output.
