Formiga1 website development
Client: Formiga1
Industry: Building surveyors
Platform: Joomla
Duration: 8 weeks
Background
Formiga1, a dynamic and innovative building surveying company, recognised the need to enhance its digital presence to better connect with its target audience and streamline its online operations. Formiga1 sought to develop a new, robust, user-friendly website as part of this strategic move.
They chose Marketeam for this task due to our extensive experience in creating high-performance websites and our expertise with Joomla, an open-source content management system known for its flexibility and powerful features.
Objectives
The key objectives for the Formiga1 website project were:
- To create a visually appealing, modern and responsive design that reflects Formiga1’s brand identity.
- To improve user experience by making the website easy to navigate, with a clean and intuitive interface.
- To enable easy content updates and management by Formiga1’s team through Joomla’s user-friendly CMS interface.
- To ensure the website performs efficiently with fast load times and is secure against common web vulnerabilities.
- To optimise the website for search engines to improve visibility and attract more organic traffic.
Challenges
- The project required a high level of customisation to meet Formiga1’s specific requirements, which included integrating third-party tools and custom modules.
- Migrating content from Formiga1’s old website to the new Joomla site while ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime.
- Ensuring that the website is fully responsive across all devices, including desktops, tablets and smartphones.
- Implementing advanced SEO techniques within the Joomla framework to achieve high rankings in search engine results.
Solution
To meet the project’s objectives, Marketeam implemented the following solutions:
Joomshaper template
We designed and developed the website using the Jewels template from Joomsahper to encapsulate Formiga1’s brand identity, ensuring a modern and engaging user experience.
Modular development
Utilising Joomla’s modular architecture, we developed custom modules and extensions tailored to Formiga1’s specific needs, allowing for flexibility and scalability.
Responsive design
The website was designed to be fully responsive, providing an optimal viewing experience across various devices and screen sizes.
Content migration
We employed advanced tools and techniques to migrate content from the old site to the new Joomla platform with minimal disruption.
SEO best practices
Integrated Joomla’s SEO tools and additional extensions to enhance the site’s search engine visibility. We optimised the website structure, meta tags and URLs for better search engine ranking.
Performance optimisation
Leveraged Joomla’s built-in caching mechanisms and optimised the codebase to ensure fast load times and smooth performance.
Security enhancements
Implemented security measures, including SSL certification, secure coding practices and regular security audits to protect against vulnerabilities.
