DTC Hawaii is a licensed general contractor from the State of Hawaii. The firm’s founder brings over 20-years of experience in residential construction, interior design and remodeling.
Although the website had been redesigned a few years ago, lack of strong brand messaging and the flexibility of a full CMS that would allow for comprehensive SEO practices were holding back growth and awareness.
DTC Hawaii needed a solid framework, that allowed for security updates as they became available since their previous website had been hacked.
CHALLENGE + VISION
DTC Hawaii needed a website that was attractive, robust and efficient. We needed to ensure site conversions by creating an elegant and inviting layout that would make visitors want to stay longer. The website security needed to be upgraded but configured in a way that did not reduce performance, efficiency or anything that affected the overall web-surfing experience to visitors. The new content management system needed to allow for full customization of all elements that related to onsite search engine optimization of all internal pages. DTC Hawaii needed a more attractive online presence, a robust framework with better defense against attacks and an online strategy focused on the local market.
OUR APPROACH
Enhanced Security
The presence of an intrusion detection system allows for advanced management of IPs by known-dangerous visitors. A comprehensive firewall was loaded to log hacking attempts, automatically monitor suspicious activity and potentially block spammers.
Brand Uniformity
The DTC Hawaii brand was redefined and now shares the same elements, colors, fonts and logos across all communication mediums.
Visually Building the Brand
A fully responsive platform makes use of various media features with easy-to-follow navigation, effortlessly digestible information blocks to effectively communicate the brand’s message and completed projects.
Better SEO
We conducted an initial SEO that included a review of local competitors followed by a keyword research. This allowed us to build a cohesive project plan with a clear outline for implementation, effectiveness, and success.
