Challenge: Difficult User Experience Stalled Sales
On the former website, Global CNC’s two primary audiences, distributors and machinists, could not quickly take the actions they required. Both user types found it challenging to identify the items they needed and uncover the necessary product information to help them make the correct purchasing decisions. This less than ideal user experience was dissonant with the company’s focus on customers and quality. They knew things needed to change to support and drive sales opportunities.
The sleek design features informative photographs and schematics, a new animation to show the transition to the new logo, customer testimonials, and multiple contact forms for product inquiries, catalog requests, job applications, and newsletter registration. We improved search functionality, including a custom-filtered search area on the product page, added a custom quote option, gave prominence to the live tooling section, and worked to attract traffic to Global’s custom machining services.
How we Improved Global CNC Industries Website
Since its launch, the new site has delivered increased distributor and customer knowledge and ease of finding new products. Orders are growing due to custom quote functionality. In addition, their search engine presence has been amplified with updated meta titles and page descriptions and the addition of pure text product information, including descriptions and data tables.
