Dinovite has been with us from the start, and we enjoy love working on their stuff. When Brand Shepherd had sufficient e-commerce website design experience using Magento under our belt, we approached Dinovite about refreshing (not redesigning) their website. They graciously allowed us to pitch our vision of a refreshed Dinovite.com, and from that pitch we realized we had the same brand-integrated vision for the site. Work began on creating a website that, for the most part, wasn’t a design overhaul, yet it made subtle changes that would improve the user experience, and add in a few new features, too.
We don’t want to give away too much of the process that went into the project, but a few highlights are: Integrating image sliders at strategic and helpful places on important pages, Creating a large dynamic footer that showed recent tweets and articles, integrating more social media onto every page, creating the new Articles section, and refining the layout to make for a better user experience.
It’s worth noting that this website blends both Magento and WordPress. We use Magento for all pages related to e-commerce, and WordPress for the new Articles section. Both platforms carry a heavy load of information, but both are very easy to access and maintain for Dinovite. Our development partners did a great job of meshing Magento and WordPress together so that users don’t even notice when going between platforms.
The end result is a new website for Dinovite that informs, sells, and has lots of room for growth.
