Major Tom Elevates IPEX to New Digital Heights with Web Excellence Award Win
In the realm of digital innovation, the right partnership can elevate a brand to new heights. This belief was spectacularly validated when Major Tom clinched the Web Excellence Award for the best website in the construction industry, a testament to our collaboration with IPEX. This accolade not only highlights our commitment to excellence but also underscores the transformative power of digital solutions in traditional sectors.
A Digital Milestone in Construction: The IPEX Project
Our journey with IPEX, a leader in integrated piping products, was driven by a singular vision: to position their website as the pivotal touchpoint for an integrated customer journey. Faced with a dated website and internal challenges, IPEX’s ambition to become a digital innovation leader in their industry was the spark that ignited our collaborative endeavor.
Darren Maher, Group Director of Web Services, said:
IPEX came to us with an ambition to be the digital innovation leader in their industry. That winning mentality enabled us to create a website that acts as the only touchpoint for an integrated customer journey across all their market segments.
The Challenges: Opportunities for Digital Advancement
The IPEX web project presented a way to transform multifaceted challenges into opportunities for digital advancement:
- Evolve a dated design to provide a more engaging user experience.
- Bridging internal silos to gain a unified view of customer segments.
- Regionalizing content to better cater to diverse market needs.
- Overcoming limited integration with other customer journey touchpoints.
- Updating interactive elements for broader accessibility, including mobile users.
The Solution: A Blend of Creativity and Technical Expertise
Our approach was holistic, focusing on both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the website.
The introduction of a 3D experience for product applications marked a significant leap, allowing users to visualize products in real-world settings.
This enhancement was complemented by a comprehensive overhaul of the product search experience. Major Tom reorganized the website’s navigation around market segments and introduced a product finder tool, streamlining the process for users to locate specific products. This not only simplified product discovery but also provided users with a clearer understanding of how they could use these products in different industries.
Demi, Manager of Delivery (Web), said:
To ensure success on the IPEX project, we undertook a thorough discovery process to identify shortcomings in the existing website. Employing our design principles, we crafted a website that not only addresses IPEX’s business needs but also offers an optimally enhanced user experience, combining visual appeal with flexibility for future administrative adjustments. Our comprehensive 360-degree approach guaranteed that every aspect was considered, and the tech stack was carefully chosen for the best outcomes.
