Was it love at first sight when you first laid eyes on your newly designed website? Was it sleek, stylish, and everything you’d been hoping for? It’s an amazing feeling. But sadly, for many businesses, it’s a feeling that doesn’t last long. Why? Because behind that pretty façade lies a different story.
When we chat with clients, they often have a massive list of back-end grievances. Clunky checkout processes. Impossible-to-update content. Slow loading times. You name it, we’ve heard it.
The obvious solution? Rebuilding the site from scratch to eliminate all these frustrations.
When we suggest this though, rather than seeing happy, excited faces, we often see a look of utter horror. When clients hear the word ‘rebuild’, they automatically have visions of us tampering with their carefully crafted design; messing around with the pretty front end that they adore.
Don’t panic!
At Soto, we believe in preserving the good stuff while improving everything else. You don’t have to sacrifice your beautiful design for a better back end. We can leave those lovely bits completely untouched, working behind the scenes to ensure your site functions perfectly and looks amazing.
The beauty of a back-end rebuild
Rebuilding your website’s back end is probably a lot simpler – and a lot less of a headache – than you might think. In fact, we tend to view it as more of a makeover, keeping all the parts you love while improving the bits that bug you, and delivering a balanced result.
You certainly won’t be the first to rebuild your back end to better align with the front. At Soto, we’ve helped plenty of clients transform their websites without compromising on design.
Take Scottish textile specialist Araminta Campbell, for example. They came to us with a really stunning website that was paired with a back end that just didn’t fit. The poor checkout process was costing them sales; a situation that needed fixing, pronto! We rebuilt their site from scratch, keeping the existing design intact while overhauling the back end to deliver a truly seamless user experience.
Or consider Vivid Resourcing. Their WordPress site was already ticking the design boxes, but the back end? Not so much. They wanted something more user-friendly, so we stepped in and tinkered with the behind-the-scenes stuff to give them a site that’s both easy on the eyes and a breeze to update.
And then there’s Hydref Accounting. Their site looked terrific, but it was delivered as flat HTML, which meant updating it required diving into code. It wasn’t ideal for a busy accounting firm who had better things to be spending their time on. We transformed their site into a WordPress wonder, making it super simple for them to keep things fresh without touching a line of HTML.
