In the realm of digital innovation, the right partnership can elevate a brand to new heights. This belief was spectacularly validated when Major Tom clinched the Web Excellence Award for the best website in the construction industry, a testament to our collaboration with IPEX. This accolade not only highlights our commitment to excellence but also underscores the transformative power of digital solutions in traditional sectors.
Our journey with IPEX, a leader in integrated piping products, was driven by a singular vision: to position their website as the pivotal touchpoint for an integrated customer journey. Faced with a dated website and internal challenges, IPEX's ambition to become a digital innovation leader in their industry was the spark that ignited our collaborative endeavor.
"IPEX came to us with an ambition to be the digital innovation leader in their industry. That winning mentality enabled us to create a website that acts as the only touchpoint for an integrated customer journey across all their market segments." - Darren Maher, Group Director of Web Services, Major Tom
The IPEX web project presented a way to transform multifaceted challenges into opportunities for digital advancement:
“Major Tom’s deep understanding of UX and customer behaviors, blended seamlessly with our marketing department’s efforts, together it has been pivotal in crafting a journey that truly resonates with our website visitors.
This synergy of expertise and collaboration has driven innovative and effective solutions from day one. I am eager to see the continued evolution of our partnership and the IPEX website’s success." - Humara Kausar, Digital Marketing Manager, IPEX
Our approach was holistic, focusing on both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the website.
The introduction of a 3D experience for product applications marked a significant leap, allowing users to visualize products in real-world settings.
This enhancement was complemented by a comprehensive overhaul of the product search experience. Major Tom reorganized the website's navigation around market segments and introduced a product finder tool, streamlining the process for users to locate specific products. This not only simplified product discovery but also provided users with a clearer understanding of how they could use these products in different industries.
"To ensure success on the IPEX project, we undertook a thorough discovery process to identify shortcomings in the existing website. Employing our design principles, we crafted a website that not only addresses IPEX's business needs but also offers an optimally enhanced user experience, combining visual appeal with flexibility for future administrative adjustments. Our comprehensive 360-degree approach guaranteed that every aspect was considered, and the tech stack was carefully chosen for the best outcomes." - Demi Adeleye, Manager of Delivery (Web), Major Tom
