More than a facelift.

Adelco asked for a facelift. A requirements workshop showed the website had to sell machines, show the company's global reach and serve their distributors.

Adelco makes digital textile printing, screen printing and drying equipment for garment printers around the world. Its WordPress site had thin product pages, few calls to action and tangled URLs that hurt its search rankings.

Adelco also couldn't tell who controlled parts of their hosting and DNS. The brief set five goals: richer product pages, more calls to action, a visible global presence, a private area for distributors and more traffic.

A Drupal site built from a pattern library.

“The website launch was seamless and we saw a near double in traffic on launch day, and two weeks later we were seeing a 374% increase in traffic compared to the previous month!”
