// THE CHALLENGE
WHAT WE
WERE UP AGAINST

Their website had become slow, difficult to manage, and poorly optimised for search. The complex backend made it hard for the team to update content or add new products. With a large product range and extensive technical documentation, they needed a robust, flexible platform - not just a cosmetic refresh.

// THE SOLUTION
HOW WE BUILT IT

System Architecture

We migrated the entire platform from Joomla to Statamic - built on Laravel - redesigning the site from the ground up with a modern, responsive interface and a robust content architecture capable of handling a large and growing product catalogue.

Content & Publishing

Statamic's flexible content management tools gave the Cooke Industries team full control over products, projects, news and updates - without needing developer support for day-to-day changes. The editorial experience was built for speed and ease.

Technical Documents

The technical document library was structured to make data sheets and specifications easy to find and download - giving trade customers and specifiers the information they need, right when they need it.

Hosting

We took over hosting, providing a fast, reliable and managed environment that has supported the site ever since.
