Why Wirebox_
Wirebox have been developing websites and applications for over 15 years. Our experience helps advise clients how best to use the latest technologies to build from the ground up or improve existing systems.
Wirebox has worked with Sussex Beds for a number of years supporting their previous platform, which was a great success, when developed over 5 years ago, however to bring the site more up to date, Sussex Beds needed to move to Oracle Netsuite. This meant the site had to be changed to integrate into the new ERP.
Our Approach_
- Step 1 – Discovery
We held an initial workshop at our Watford office to go through what Sussex Beds were looking to achieve and gather all the information we needed to start the project off. - Step 2 – Analyse
With all the information at hand, it is important to review and analyse the approach needed to make the project a success. - Step 3 – Define
Working through prototyping to design and build an optimal customer UX. - Step 4 – Development
Building the site using the latest web development technology. - Step 5 – Testing
Testing the site from browser to backend testing. - Step 6 – Delivery
Pushing the site live and managing transition from the old to the new site.
Outcome_
The website was completely redesigned, from the front end to the supplies portal. It used the latest technology including a WordPress Headless CMS and complete two way Oracle Netsuite integration.
WordPress Headless CMS
The content editing of the website is using WordPress but the frontend is rendered using Laravel. Using this method gives us great control of how to render the frontend of the site and gives us advantages like content loading faster. Better for the user and SEO benefits as well.
