Background

Based in the bustling Rocky Mountain region, Directlink Marketing serves as a pivotal manufacturers' representative for professional audio, video, and lighting industries. The company faced significant limitations with their previous website, which was not only outdated but also lacked the dynamic functionality needed to support their expansive product and client portfolio. Recognizing the need to elevate their online presence, Directlink Marketing partnered with us to harness the power of Webflow, aiming to transform their digital landscape to better serve their clients and manufacturers.

The primary goal of this project was to develop a high-performing, visually appealing, and highly functional website that aligns with Directlink Marketing's innovative approach in the A/V/L sector. Key objectives included:

  • Enhanced User Experience: Implement a user-friendly interface that enables easy navigation and access to comprehensive manufacturer and product information.
  • Dynamic Content Management: Develop a robust CMS that allows Directlink staff to easily update and manage content without technical assistance, ensuring the website remains current and resourceful.
  • Scalability and Flexibility: Create a scalable website architecture that can grow with the company and adapt to changing market needs and technological advancements.
  • Integration of Custom Components: Utilize advanced Webflow capabilities to design bespoke components that enhance the functionality and interactivity of the website, such as the state-by-state representative slider and dedicated manufacturer pages.

By achieving these objectives, the project aims to solidify Directlink Marketing’s role as a leading resource in the A/V/L industry, ensuring they remain at the forefront of digital engagement and customer satisfaction.
