Würth goes WB

(1/2) > >>

Yep,
www.orsy.at

The most remarkable thing is: Würth Austria decided to use WebsiteBaker for a site about its major product.
"Could it be, that this CMS is 10 times better than ours?" - "Oh no, only 5 times better" ;-)

My job was to make the site look and feel exactly like the Würth-CI and combine lots of different contens to one site.
The biggest problem was the masses of menu-links. I made a special funktion to change the links to the "real" links.
The second thing: The subheadings in the left menue. These are also made with menu-links.

Its not fully finished yet, but its online at last. Phew!

Vincent:
Well done, Chio.
Great to see a major company using WB. We should get to a level of market penetration where we don't consider it remarkable but logical. But it needs to start somwhere, so I agree: remarkable choice.

Can you tell us how many pages the site consists of currently? And do you encounter problems with so many menu-items?

You managed to keep the look and feel of Wurth company, so compliments about that.

Regards,
Vincent

Yes, I think its important, that also bigger companies use WB; as a model role. WB is well established on private or smaller business sites, but not so for bigger companies.

Its not the problem with the number of pages. orsy.at has ca. 70 pages; I have some much bigger sites (At the moment I am working on a site with over 200 pages - at the start)

Even the main Würth site - wuerth.de - doesnt have very much pages, if you exclude the masses of product pages - which come out of a product database. You could handle this with WB also. But I guess, they wont do ;-)

Why we choosed WB for orsy.at:
The site is merged from some other domains - wuerth.at, wuerth.de and some more. Of course one can take the pages as they are, but how put them together? There is lot of double or unfitting content,  other contact persons, phone...
An employee has to check everything and directly change it - easy and without training, by the way.

I also administer the site wuerth.at, and I know well, how difficult this is for people without training. WB is much easier, the Würth people had no problems at all; some short phone calls instead of a thick manual.

Hi Vincent

the AMASP Project has about 500 pages and no problems. Maybe it depends on kind of sections. I suppose the more wysiwyg the slower the site in the backend. I don't think that you will see it in the frontend.

This is the real advantage for the companies.
