From Modern UI/UX Design to SEO Migration:

How We Transformed Connected Audio Visual Websites for Increased SEO Traffic & Better User Experience

Connected Audio Visual

Connected Audio Visual, an Australian-owned company, was founded in Kiama, NSW, and now operates from a state-of-the-art warehouse and showroom in Lake Illawarra. Renowned for their expertise, they are one of the nation's leading integrated technology providers, recognised with Control4 Diamond Status and as the 2022 Dealer of the Year. Their innovative solutions enhance lifestyles by incorporating advanced technologies into homes and businesses.

Why Did We Do This?

The Objective

The existing website had lost its appeal and functionality over time, failing to satisfy the needs of modern-day users in terms of the user experience and look and feel of the website.

  • An Outdated Design

    The original Connected Audio Visual website was built in 2018 and emitted an outdated look and feel. It needed upgrading to address various concerns and to reflect the current brand identity.

  • Site Navigation

    The client wanted to add more pages, so the site navigation needed to be updated.

  • Technical Updates

    The WordPress and server PHP versions were outdated and needed an upgrade.

  • Improved User Experience

    To make the site stand out from its competition, developing a custom design using the latest UI and UX best practices became evident.

  • A Responsive Design

    A fully functional and visually appealing website accessible across devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and desktops, is the need of the hour.

What Inspired Our Actions?

The Challenges

The Challenges

The Need for a Modern, User-Centric Design to Align with Current Trends:

The primary challenge was to design and develop a user-friendly, visually appealing website that effectively showcases Connected Audio Visual's services and project sections.

Preserving SEO Performance and Ensuring Seamless Migration:

The new site must also preserve existing search engine optimisation (SEO) performance. In addition, URLs and content across service pages, blogs, and other resources had to be migrated. It is imperative to migrate these items seamlessly so the website's traffic and lead generation capabilities remain robust with the new design.

Responsive Web Design:

The new site must have a responsive web design that ensures optimal viewing and interaction experience across various devices, such as desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. A responsive web design can adapt to different screen sizes, providing a seamless user experience between devices.

Streamlined Work Process

Work Process

Meeting

We received the client's email with the requirements. After analyzing the process, we communicated with the client to understand the requirements and prepared the scope of work.

Planning

We prepared the milestone-based priority tasks list and shared it with the client. We then started the web platform's custom UI/ UX design and shared it with the client to get suggestions and reviews.

Execution

Once our design team completed the design process, our development team started developing based on the milestone-wise priority tasks list in the WordPress CMS.

Delivery

Upon completing all milestones, we deployed the project on our staging server. Here, we conducted a thorough quality analysis and promptly resolved any errors. Then, we shared the staging URL with the client for their approval before finally deploying it on the client's server.
