Performance Score GainsReady for a Redesign
Training Industry was full to the brim with valuable information to share with clients and employees alike. As the company continued to grow, their site began to buckle under the weight of their content. It could no longer keep up with everything that Training Industry had to offer and there was no clear path to the natural next step; an upgraded website. Without the upgrade, the site could fall victim to security issues, require more work for general maintenance, and continue to incur large amounts of technical debt. In order to avoid these impending issues, Training Industry acted on the fact that their site had reached a natural time for a redesign by reaching out to Atlantic BT.
New Platforms Support Reorganized Content for Larger Audiences
Despite the need for an upgrade, there was a foundation of work that Training Industry had established and wished to maintain. The real challenge was keeping that collection of content in tact while restructuring the site. A thorough examination of the original site platform, as well as an assessment of what needed to stay and what needed to go, was the kick off point. The result was a complete rebuilding of the site, creating a new look and feel that captured the spirit of Training Industry.
A transfer to WordPress helped make the site more accessible not just to consumers but to admins as well, allowing them to organize and share content more efficiently. This, in turn, helped users to quickly find what they needed. The new site was also designed to be mobile friendly, which is vital for consumer outreach. As mobile web usage continues to increase, Training Industry was able to demonstrate their ability to keep up to speed with the evolving technological habits of consumers. Embracing progress while proudly maintaining the legacy it was built on made Training Industry’s site ideal for the present and beyond.
