User Flow
Reinforcing Brand Value.
The overall aesthetic was designed to appeal to a strategically targeted selection of audiences, including school administrators, parents, and children as users. The final product is a balance of professional, yet child-friendly, aesthetic to entice these varied audiences.
LWT helped distill photography choices within the design to give appropriate attention to age group, diversity, custom illustrations from products, and other key details used to drive revenue growth. Custom components within the flexible design to emphasize the value of the new brand and their many products, including specific recommendations for statistics, video integrations, and callouts for related products on their shopping site.
Easier education through flexible content.
This grants their administrators the ability to stack items in horizontal blocks, meaning they are able to order headers, stats, programs, images, testimonials, and much more in repositioned sections of their choosing. The integration of established color schemes creates continuity between the pages, and flexible components allow admins to adapt and repurpose elements as needed for future site management should the side architecture expand or change.
CMS Upgrade
Employing Drupal 7 for Administrative Flexibility.
LWT already had a high degree of comfort with Drupal as a content management system, considering their original site was developed using Drupal 6.
WDG’s development team, therefore, upgraded their site to Drupal 7, utilizing a flexible theme and migrating a large number of custom modules over from the original site. With a large scope of migration, 30 database tables and 20 custom modules were ported over.
The essential modules included components vital in LWT’s business administration, including SSO, profile and license management, purchase/order/sales, campaign-style redirects, and analytics.
