Business Challenges
Before partnering with Plego, CMB Regional Centers faced several hurdles with their existing website, making it hard to serve international investors efficiently. These included:
- Cumbersome Content Management:
Their previous platform, built on Express.js, required coding for even basic updates. This made content updates a hassle and forced the team to rely on technical assistance. - Limited Flexibility:
The rigid structure of the website allowed minimal customization, making it tough to adjust layouts or add new features to meet evolving needs. - Inconsistent User Experience:
The user interface was disorganized, with clunky layouts and non-functional sections, leaving users frustrated. - Lack of Multilingual Accessibility:
With a global audience, CMB needed a multilingual solution to cater to investors worldwide. However, the existing platform didn’t support easy translation or localization. - Outdated Design and Scalability Issues:
While the site functioned, it lacked a modern design and the scalability needed to grow with CMB’s expanding audience and services.
Solution
Plego stepped in to transform CMB’s website into a user-friendly, scalable, and visually engaging platform, addressing every challenge head-on:
- Seamless Migration to Divi:
We migrated the website from Express.js to the Divi framework on WordPress. This included transferring all essential data and features while ensuring zero loss of functionality. The new platform is intuitive and easy to manage. - Simplified Content Management:
Plego developed a custom content portal, empowering CMB to manage and update multilingual content effortlessly—no coding skills required! - Redesigned User Experience:
The entire user interface was revamped. We reorganized layouts, fixed broken sections, and added new pages, creating a seamless and intuitive browsing experience. - Multilingual Capabilities:
A language toggle was added to the top navigation bar, allowing users to switch between languages like Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese. This ensured accessibility for CMB’s global audience. - Future-Proof Scalability:
Leveraging Divi’s flexibility, the revamped site is designed to grow with CMB’s business. It’s ready for updates and expansions as their needs evolve.
This transformation not only meets CMB’s current needs but also ensures their website evolves alongside their growing business and audience.
