Building From Strength

Our project with DMW revitalized their website to enhance user experience, improve content management, and integrate critical plugin features like job postings, project gallery, and team, for a more engaging online presence.

DMW approached Perfect Afternoon to modernize its website, focusing on enhancing user experience and content creation for internal pages. The project involved improving site editability, integrating a Job Posting plugin for categorizing and filtering job positions, and adding a Project Gallery plugin to showcase case studies and project summaries.

A Team Manager plugin was also included to highlight key team members and their extensive experience, highlighting the company’s authority. The result is a site that showcases the brand’s prowess through its design while offering ease of access through improved usability and features.

Effective Content Display

We ensured the new DMWC site is geared up for showing off all the right stuff. That’s why we have a variety of plugins included to exemplify various parts of their business, with careers, team members, and projects.

Project Gallery

A lot of work went towards ensuring visitors understood the company and what they could do, achieving this through a new project gallery. This allowed our partner to boast their impressive portfolio in an organized fashion that wouldn’t overwhelm the rest of the site or its layout.

Job Plugin

The all-important job posting plugin was integrated to allow the team to categorize and filter available positions by location, position type, or category, addressing the issue of invalid job postings and improving the recruitment process.

Team Plugin

Additionally, the project gallery and team management plugins allowed DMWC to showcase key team members, adding a personal touch and highlighting the human element of DMW.

Successfully modernizing DMW’s website, the project significantly improved the user experience and the company’s online presence. The enhancements in site editability, job posting functionality, and the inclusion of project and team galleries not only solved previous issues but also showcased the company’s main strengths and values, leading to positive feedback and an improved perception of the brand.
