Challenges
- 01Developing a user-friendly administration system that helps the client self-edit any element in the website’s frontend.
- 02 Displaying varying content and product reference availability depending on the visitor's region (China/Taiwan/Hong-Kong) while using a unique URL.
- 03 Designing the website’s pages based on a highly comprehensive new Brand book.
Solutions
- 01We developed the administration platform from scratch based on the Laravel framework so that we could give them full editing access to any element on the website.
- 02 We created a system detecting the customer IP and his browser default language to automatically display the pages of the matching region and adapt the language consequently.
- 03 We created mockups for every website page prior to their implementation to finetune their design with Boiron’s teams and ensure the company’s needs were fully met.
Benefits
- 01The platform is fully scalable, making it easy and straightforward to add new regions and languages on Boiron's request following their commercial development.
- 02 The website is virtually cost-free to Boiron: it was designed for them to be able to handle any frontend adjustment themselves and does not require any additional system maintenance.
- 03 The region and language automatic detection made the user experience on the website smoother, resulting in a low bounce rate and higher time spent on page.
- 04 As a result of the close collaboration with our client on design matters, the website is the first of Boiron's platforms to follow the new brand guidelines and is a perfect ambassador for Boiron’s new brand image.
