Process & Insight

This process took place in two phases. The first phase centered around the development of a new marketing site for Strategic Imaging. The new site featured a mobile-optimized platform, replacing the old site’s table system that did not scale well to smartphones. To emphasize the capabilities SI offers its customers, it was important to showcase every piece of equipment used to complete a variety of printing services. Finally, Forbin made updates to the photo gallery enhancement to showcase examples of the company’s impressive work.

Phase two of the project was developing and implementing a customer portal to enhance their experience with SI and allow them to place orders directly from the website. Customers log in to the portal and are greeted with a dashboard that allows them to complete a variety of tasks, including:

  • Upload a file
  • Browse the SI online catalog
  • View PDF proofs
  • Consult order history
  • Update account info
