Rebuilding a Global Consulting Firm’s Digital Platform and Enhancing User Engagement

The Client

The client is a globally recognized management consulting firm that helps organizations leverage the potential of technology to inform practical business strategies. Our client partners have expertise in digital and IT transformation, sourcing advisory, and governance services, and partners with enterprises globally to deliver innovative and customizable solutions.

Our client’s platform acts as the primary channel for reaching a global audience. The platform is being used for sharing insights, publishing reports, and facilitating transactions through memberships and product purchases. However, as the client’s both content and audience base expanded, the existing platform created many challenges for the client to handle.

As the client needed to fix their platform quickly, they approached Capital Numbers to rebuild their digital platform, which would have improved performance, scalability, and functionality.

Business Need

Our client’s existing website was built on WordPress using a page builder theme. While WordPress is a powerful content management system, the legacy setup had several inefficiencies that hindered the website’s performance and functionality.

Slow Website Performance

The original digital platform was loaded with a lot of unnecessary files, which slowed down the page speed. This not only increased page load times but also negatively impacted user experience, search engine optimization (SEO), and the website’s ability to handle traffic surges.

Complex Product Migration

Our client needed to migrate over 10,000 products to WooCommerce from a non-WordPress environment. However, the process was complicated due to inconsistent data formatting, mismatched field mappings, and preserving the metadata, categorization, and user-related data.

Login and Security

Corporate users needed a simpler, more secure way to log in. The website required Single Sign-On (SSO) so users could access multiple services with one login, while also meeting compliance standards.

Scalability and Reliability

As the client’s audience continued to grow, the website had to be faster, more responsive, and capable of handling higher traffic without slowing down or overloading the system.

Selective Resource Loading: Only the required CSS and JavaScript files were loaded on each page, eliminating unnecessary page downloads.
Frontend Optimization: We prioritized essential content during rendering, improving both user experience and SEO performance.
Minimalist Design Approach: The new theme was built in a clean, modular way so that parts could be reused and kept simple.

Automated Product Migration

We built tools to move more than 10,000 products into WooCommerce quickly and accurately. The process kept all product details, categories, and related data intact, ensuring a smooth transition without disrupting users.

Membership System

We developed a tailored membership system that gave users different levels of access based on their role or company. The new platform was connected with WooCommerce so members could easily purchase and access premium reports and content.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

We introduced SSO to simplify logins for corporate users. This allowed them to use one set of credentials across multiple services, improving security and reducing friction.

Performance and Scalability

We optimized caching, database operations, and server processes to make the site faster, more reliable, and capable of handling future growth in traffic.
