Key Takeaways

  • Nyacol needed a modern, search-friendly site that worked on phones and tablets.
  • We redesigned the site with new product photography and a responsive layout.
  • A fully editable catalog lets the team add, remove and update products without a developer.

The Challenge

A Complex Product Line on an Outdated Site

Nyacol sells dozens of specialized materials to buyers in very different industries. Its old website made that range harder to explore, not easier.

The goal was a modern, easy-to-use and search-friendly site that worked on any device, with simple access to documentation and sample requests for every product.

    An Outdated CMS

    Keeping product information current took too much effort. Nyacol needed a system its team could update in a cost-effective way.

  • 02

    A Site That Wasn't Optimized

    The site wasn't built for search engines, or for the growing share of buyers on phones and tablets.

  • 03

    A Complex Back-End Ordering System

    Managing products behind the scenes was complicated. Documentation and sample requests were harder to reach than they should be.

The Approach

How We Helped Nyacol

We took a researched, planned approach to four initiatives: a full redesign, new photography, an editable product catalog and easier access to documentation and samples. Select a phase to see the work.

Step 1 of 4

A Modern, Responsive Website

We delivered a fully redesigned custom website with a responsive design, so buyers get the same experience on desktop, tablet and phone.

The structure is built for search, with clear paths from each application to the products that serve it.

An Editable Product Catalog

New and returning customers need different things. We built a fully editable back end that makes it simple to add, remove and modify products.

The result is easy for Nyacol's team to manage and works for buyers on any device.

Documentation and Sample Requests

Technical buyers want data before they talk to sales. We made documentation and sample requests easy to reach for every product, so prospects can evaluate a material on their own schedule.
