The Client
A&D is a Global organisation with offices around the globe. Today, A&D Weighing is an Australian leader in the supply of electronic weighing scales, balances, metal detectors, checkweighers and weighing systems.
A&D Australasia was looking for a digital partnership to support their digital transformation and journey. A & D Australasia’s previous website was more of static nature and updating content was difficult for a non-technical person. A&D wanted a contemporary design with easy to use Content Management System.
Google speed, organic search ranking and User engagement were few of the critical factor of the new design.
The Work
- Reinvigorate with a modernised interface to improve user engagement
- Responsive approach to address users from mobile and PC
- Facilitate a strong call to action
Sorting of products using industry and capacity helped the website visitors to quickly select suitable products for their needs.
- Weighing capacity and Resolutions helped narrow search selection results
- Click feature to select by market sector to improve User Experience
Custom WordPress plugin was built to address the shopping cart process.
- Easy online ordering process
- Categorised products by standard, advanced and professional
WordPress being one of most popular CMS in the market today also make it vulnerable to malware attacks.
To secure the website we implemented some of the following security features:
- Implemented Cloudflare WAF (Web Application Firewall)
- Locked down WordPress admin login to specific IP
- Quarantined scripts by locking file permission
Achieved Google page speed of 98/100 on Desktop
Google emphasises on user experience, updated software and speed as part of the SEO improvements.
- Implement http2 for faster page load with optimised images for mobile
- AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) landing pages to improve engagement for mobile users
- Lazy loading for improve User Experience and speed
- AWS Cloudfront CDN (Content Delivery Network) for media and pdf assets
