02 Achieved

What was delivered

Four things had to change for the store to work. All four are in place.

  1. Catalogue

    Products available to buy online

    A filterable catalogue brings boards, colours, profiles, variants and prices together.

  2. 15.1 → 12.8

    Search results after migration

    Before-and-after search checks showed more Canadian clicks and a better average position.

  3. Lead routing

    Quote requests sent to the right store

    Quote requests capture budget, contact preference and closest store.

  4. Training

    Staff training and handover

    Staff training and AI-assisted workflows spread routine work beyond one person.

03 Feedback

What the client says

★★★★★ 5.0

“Dima coordinated the whole project from start to finish, and we are grateful for it. The redesign is high quality, the interface and the user experience are genuinely good - and he trained our team, so we can run the new platform ourselves.”

Draft - awaiting the client's approved wording before publishing.

The homepage: a brand showcase became an entry point into the catalogue, with quotes and store locations one click away.

04 Problem & solution

The brief

The old site was a useful brochure. Discovery, buying decisions and lead ownership still ran on phone calls and one generic form.

Search performance was measured before the migration and checked again after launch.

05 What changed

Before and after

Each pair below is the same job on the old site and the new one. Select any screenshot to open it full size.

01Product discovery

A catalogue with product filters

Customers compare materials, brands and prices, then check variant stock and delivery details.

02Lead operations

Quote requests with project details

The quote form gives the right store the project details, budget and contact preference.

Notes

  1. How to read the figures. Search Console measures clicks and visibility, not customers or revenue. Globally impressions fell while clicks still rose - the growth came from the Canadian audience the project targeted. ↩
