New WordPress Theme, Improved Organization Helps Visitors Navigate Website

raSmith’s previous website was built on the WordPress platform with a highly customized theme that couldn’t be altered to accommodate a new or refreshed design. Too many animations and complex navigation were detracting from the company’s goal of making sure clients quickly understood its full-service capabilities and market reach. When it came to making changes to page layouts and other site modifications, raSmith had limited ability to improve the look and feel of the site due to several layers of inaccessible code. raSmith wanted its internal marketing team to be able to manipulate all aspects of the website and refresh the design for the future. That’s when the raSmith team reached out to Northwoods’ WordPress experts.

The Situation

  • The design and animation on raSmith’s previous site not only made it difficult for users to navigate certain areas, but also made it challenging for the raSmith team.
  • raSmith had limited ability to make design and content changes to its previous site.
  • raSmith needed expert advice on how to improve the site’s navigation and how best to organize content to showcase the company’s multiple services and markets.

The Solution

  • Northwoods migrated raSmith’s website to a new host that included a staging and production environment for easier maintenance.
  • Northwoods back-end developers modernized raSmith’s WordPress site by providing custom solutions that allowed raSmith’s team to fully edit the website.
  • Northwoods audited the existing site theme and plugins and recommended solutions to create a more manageable platform.

The Outcome

  • raSmith now has full access to its website with the flexibility to add new services or content whenever necessary.
