The challenge
Headspring were happy with the design of their website but were experiencing technical issues with the backend code. Their website was producing duplicate content which was impacting their performance in Google. In addition to this, their marketing team was unable to edit content in the backend which was affecting their ability to deliver campaigns.
Our approach
We recommended that Headspring replatformed their website and rebuilt the backend CMS while retaining the design of the site. This would enable a rapid delivery schedule to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.
We worked with Headspring to set up Arabic content on the website, enabling them to effectively target international audiences.
Post-launch website results
Headspring Executive Development recorded a huge improvement in organic traffic and engagement metrics following the launch of their new backend code.
Multilingual content
We used WordPress to provide Headpring with the flexibility to create multilingual content on their website. We set up non-latin character sets and right to left reading on the site to facilitate Arabic copy.
Enabling the team
Delivering a new backend on a WordPress CMS empowered Headpring’s internal marketing team by giving them complete control over their website content.
