Discovery & Competitor Research
The Discovery and Research stage of our process began with a competitive analysis and SEO audit. Led by our marketing team, we thoroughly investigated the websites of TH Bender’s competitors to understand their page structure and SEO strength. We focused our analysis on homepages, main landing pages, about pages, blogs, and contact pages.
Through this analysis, we were able to develop a sitemap and content outline that promoted the new website’s vision and guided our design team as they worked on wireframes.
By aligning the results of our analysis with our client’s business needs and target audience, we developed a detailed plan for each page that would outpace competitor pages and adapt to the needs of the market segment.

Rebranding & Design
After being in business for 10 years, the TH Bender not only wanted a new website but an updated brand image. First, we simplified their logo and integrated a bridge graphical element. After, our designers presented several concepts to the client who reviewed and approved the final design. To complement the new design, we also developed a new brand style guide (which we quickly applied to new business cards).
With a new logo and style guide in place, we began a complete website redesign and restructuring. Modern, easy, and user-friendly were our guiding principles, and we set out to make a corporate website that emphasized the company’s international scope and global value.
A key component of our overhaul was mobile responsiveness. TH Bender had an outdated site layout that did not properly adapt to several devices. We restructured the architecture, streamlined how information was presented and modernized the graphics. Prototypes were also developed for each page with user behavior in mind.
Once we had a working website wireframe, we proposed several interface design variations [link to invision] before settling on the design that best combined, streamlined, and presented large amounts of information in an easily-digestible, user-friendly format. It was easy on the eyes while remaining very informative.

Backend & CraftCMS Integration
TH Bender’s website was being powered by a technically antiquated CMS Joomla. What’s more, the site had recently been hacked, so enhancing cybersecurity was a big priority. To meet the client’s business goals and protect them from hackers, our team developed a completely fresh, technically advanced CraftCMS-based solution in both English and German. We chose CraftCMS because it is fully optimized for international and multilingual sites, and provides ample opportunities for maximally efficient SEO. It is also incredibly secure compared to Joomla.

Search Marketing
For TH Bender we created comprehensive SEO and SEM strategies for long-term optimization and promotion. We prioritized on-page technical implementation and created a strategy for off-page promotion. Following our SEO plan, we resolved all technical bugs and on-page SEO issues, created additional landing pages, optimized text, created an appropriate schema markup, and updated meta tags.
We also formulated a content marketing strategy based on deep keyword research and built a much-improved sitemap for effective search engine indexing.
We conducted pay-per-click (PPC) tests to determine the search behavior of German executives. Were they using English terms, German ones or its combination? (Surprisingly, most used English terms rather than German ones). Leveraging these results, we adjusted keyword targeting and promotion strategy for TH Bender.
Insider Tip: When creating a new website, it’s important to test PPC strategies prior to development in order to collect data on real user behavior.
