SchenkMetall.ch, a Swiss metalwork company, now boasts a custom WordPress theme tailored to their needs, featuring multilingual support and responsive design.
Custom WordPress Theme Development for SchenkMetall.ch
SchenkMetall.ch is a Swiss company specializing in metal bending and rolling services, with a history dating back to 1950. They provide precision metalwork, including spiral staircases, railings, and custom parts for various industries. To enhance their online presence, we developed a custom WordPress theme tailored to their specific needs.
The existing WordPress website was already functional but required a visual and structural overhaul to better align with the company’s professional image and improve user experience. Our task was to create a fully localized theme, as the website serves both German and French-speaking audiences.
Technologies and Tools
For the theme development, we utilized:
- WordPress: The platform of choice for its flexibility and ease of use.
- PHP: For backend development and customization of WordPress functionalities.
- Bootstrap: To ensure responsive and mobile-friendly design across all devices.
- WPML: Implemented to support the multilingual nature of the website, allowing seamless switching between German and French.
Key Highlights
The custom theme developed for SchenkMetall.ch offers several key features:
- Localized Content: The theme fully integrates with WPML, ensuring all content is available in both German and French, catering to the diverse customer base.
- Responsive Design: Using Bootstrap, we ensured the website is fully responsive, providing a consistent experience across desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Enhanced Navigation: The website’s structure was optimized to guide users more efficiently to key service areas like pipe bending, profile bending, and sheet metal rolling.
Benefits for the Client
The custom theme development significantly improved Schenk Metall’s online presence. The fully localized and responsive website now better serves their target markets, enhancing both usability and accessibility. The optimized navigation helps potential customers find the services they need quickly, leading to improved customer engagement and satisfaction. This project not only modernized the look and feel of the website but also reinforced Schenk Metall’s brand as a leader in precision metalwork.
