After reviewing the pros and cons of open-source CMS’s, we opted for WordPress. The client team’s focus was on having a CMS useable by the broader sales and marketing teams to enable new pages for products, solutions, and blog posts to be added quickly and efficiently. There was also a concern over hosting. The client required a dedicated server to host several websites from within the PA Consulting Group. We made our external, independent hosting service provider recommendations, which were limited due to heightened security protection and the requirement for a staging site to ensure no crossover in pushing items live with multiple team members working in the site backend.

Having established the scope and detailed the requirement parameters, we focused on the design and user experience. We aimed to make sure there was a logical flow across the site’s pages and that different entry points to the site accommodated the correct content flow and use cases to industries, products and services, in any which way.

We used tags within pages to associate product groups and specific products, sectors and services to each use case. And for use case examples, we also showed related products for those featured in the use case.

Ratio continues to deliver ongoing maintenance and support for the website and hosting environment.
