    Custom development that enhances user experience

    CASE STUDY
    Bookspeed needed custom development features to enhance their user experience.

    With their old website not providing the functionality to provide their customers with online catalogues of curated book lists, Bookspeed were wasting valuable time and resources manually producing bespoke catalogues for each individual customer.

    The Project
    A site rebuild in Umbraco 7, with custom functionality development at its core
    To connect the end-to-end experience for customers, Bookspeed approached Gecko to develop a custom online catalogue tool, that allows them to produce high quality, bespoke brochures that showcase curated book lists for customers. This was in addition to the design and build of a new website on the Umbraco 7 platform.
    • Concept
    • Goals

      The project began by outlining three key goals that needed to be achieved, including custom development of the online catalogue feature with ability to integrate with a 3rd party application, a new web build with redesign, all while improving customer and user experience.

    • Research

      The first step in developing the custom feature was understanding what information needed to be pulled through from their Microsoft Dynamics NAV database and how it needed to be displayed.

    • Custom Dev
    • Catalogue Builder Wizard

      Our custom Umbraco development allowed for curated lists of books to be published in an online catalogue, that could be tailored by different categories and collections to each individual customer.

    • 3rd Party Integration

      We carried out a rewrite of the existing Microsoft Dynamics NAV database integration to increase the data that could be pulled through to the website, including things like book size and front cover images.

    • Design
    • Mobile Responsive

      Our redesign followed Responsive Web Design practices to ensure Bookspeed users have a seamless experience on any device.

    • User Dashboard

      We redesigned the dashboard page for logged in users - providing them with easy access to repeat orders and offering personalisation options such as favourite categories.

    The Results
    A redesigned website with fully custom features that enhance user experiences
    "We are absolutely delighted with our new website. The functionality and design of the new features have made a massive difference to the efficiency of our processes. The custom catalogue builder wizard you developed has transformed the way we work, allowing us to create bespoke catalogues for each individual customer in a fraction of the time – the team still feel joy when using it – it’s proved to be one of the best investments we’ve made over the past few years."
