BoxCrush was contacted by GM Component Holdings to develop a website that would serve as an overview of the company’s capabilities, as well as highlight each division.
Challenge:
The company is comprised of three different teams, representing the three separate business units: Semiconductor, Thick Film Printing, and Electronics Assembly. The three business units, though separate, have one sales team. The website needed to encompass four sites in one (one for each business unit and one for the overall site). Each team needed separate login access to be able make updates and changes to their own business unit website. And each business unit needed a website with separate navigation. Yet the site as a whole had to present a uniform appearance and tone throughout. Since this was a completely new website, it had to be built from the ground up. The client’s requirements included:
- Website information for parent company
- Information and access for each of the three main business units
- Limited access points for people responsible for different areas of the site
- Custom rotator for the home page for content and graphics
- SEO-friendly design and copy
- Separate navigation for each division
- Site search for each division
Solution:
BoxCrush designed, built and implemented the website: http://kokomogmch.com. The website was built with WordPress Multisite, a new feature that allows a network of websites to be created with a single install of WordPress. BoxCrush updates and maintains the website, but the client also has access to the content management system to affect changes and add graphics when needed. The new GM Component Holdings website features many customized solutions, including:
- A website section for each of the business units: Semiconductor, Thick Film Printing, and Electronics Assembly.
- Four websites in one: one for each business unit and one for the parent company information
- Separate segmented access to approved personnel for each of the four website sections, as well as access for the parent company personnel.
- Site search, customized for each business unit
- Home page custom rotator for graphics and content
Since the website’s implementation, GM Component Holdings has been able to use the site as a marketing and sales tool—to increase awareness of its wide range of capabilities and increase its customer base.
