Segway

Whilst Segway provided us with an existing design for their website, we needed to create a more user-friendly interface and give it the desired look to appeal to a cross-continental audience. We came up with a few things to make big improvements. We created beautiful parallax effects that allow for dynamic scrolling. Next we created fixed fonts to enhance readability. And last but not least. The element we’re most proud of; the drop-down menu overlay. A special effect that dims all of the page except active dropdowns. Creating an optimized user experience.

Segway needed a CMS which allowed one person to manage all of their individual sites from one location. It had to be fast. And it had to be flexible. Two things their old system, Kentico, wasn’t quite up for. We chose to work with our trusty CMS partner in crime, Craf, to implement a streamlined CMS that exceeded Segways expectations.

To check if our server solution worked, we had to add some pressure. Quite a lot of pressure, actually. We used Siege, a stress test program, which allowed us to identify how much traffic each site could actually handle. This software floods each site with fake traffic and transactions, highlighting any bottlenecks in the application which we could tweak and improve. This allowed us during launch to rest assured that our web design and CMS were truly functioning optimally. Ready to take on the EMEA!

Collaboration at every stage

We worked closely with Segway throughout the entire project. With a project at this scale and the design boundaries that were in place, it was important that we offered open and honest communication. Allowing us to deliver the solution Segway was looking for and, of course, Segway’s site visitors needed. And the result is more than worth it. A sleek, high-performing and super-fast website, including a CMS with the capabilities to seamlessly manage content across 88 sites. Ready to hit the road!
