Focused revamp followed by continuous maintenance.
The challenge
What Design Basics needed to solve.
Design Basics needed a refreshed WordPress site that preserved its huge plan catalog while improving discovery and load speed. Users needed clearer detail (square footage, bedrooms, layout views) and ongoing maintenance.
Goals
Revamp UI and UX of the WordPress site
Manage plan data cleanly and at scale
Improve page load speed and conversion
Provide continuous website maintenance
The solution
Resourcifi modernized the Design Basics WordPress site, improving the user experience, load speed, and plan data management.
