Stonebridge website design
Stonebridge preformed wooden components can be found in all kinds of products, from furniture and seating components to transport interiors.
Stonebridge first came to us in 2011 looking for a new website that would provide easily accessible information about their complex press tool library and product range. We built a custom made content management system (CMS) that allowed them to upload, and update press tools, products and supplementary information, and also add news articles to the site.
The new website also ensured the Stonebridge brand was faithfully translated online and the right first impression created for new customers. To do this, Stonebridge utilised our other in-house services, commissioning design, photography and illustration. A bespoke set of illustrations and icons were created to add clarity to the technical diagrams that make up their online press tool library. And a photoshoot was undertaken to give insight into their facilities, team and production process.
Together with the Stonebridge team, in the Spring of this year, we began a review of the site with a view to building a new version of the site for 2018 that would take advantage of the latest responsive web technologies and CMS platforms, allowing us to build both a mobile friendly and multi-lingual website. In preparation for the alternate language versions we commissioned professional translations of all the text on the site.
Built with Craft CMS, all areas of the new site (in multiple languages) can be managed by the client. The content management system is easy to use, features live previews, flexible content and a whole host of features that our clients really appreciate. But most of all it means the site can be easily maintained and updated.
An additional complexity came about with the requirement for the Slovakian version of the site to be hosted on a separate domain (greenform-so.sk). Our development team were able to configure a solution for this — enabling management of the English, German and Slovakian sites from a single CMS control panel.
