Our client company Straval, one of the leading strainers and valves producers in the East Coast, was facing a number of website performance issues due to an outdated server, which frequently crashed, affecting our customer’s profits and reputation.

To help our client, we first of all moved their website to Amazon cloud hosting, which made the whole system more secure, flexible and reliable. We have also set up a local server, located in our client’s office, so that Straval sales managers would have access to the admin panel with all the new orders, even if the main server is down.

As for the re-design, based on Straval’s existing corporate style, as well as our client’s requirements, our design team has given a new website a modern and sleek look. Java-script written menu was re-written and optimized to fit the new design. We made sure the design was responsive to better serve the growing number of mobile users.

To equip our client with additional easy-to-use tools for their products promotion, our team has integrated the landing page editor within the admin panel. Now our client can simply pick the products they would like to promote and fill in the relevant information. All the product data is taken from the existing database. We have also improved the user account management system, which made registration, authorization and orders processing much easier.

Thanks to the great team work, the final product was beyond our client’s expectations: a more visually appealing, user friendly, optimized website ready to promote and secure Straval’s growth and expansion in the market. Check out more information about “Straval” website:
