Promega Homepage
Promega wanted a homepage that was modern, memorable, and user-centric. I worked on the full technology stack for this page working closely with a graphic designer. In the end, we create a homepage that was responsive, translateable, and regionalized with strikng graphic content and CSS3 animations.
Technologies Used
- Sitecore (v 7.2)
- ASP.Net Web Forms
- C#
- CSS3
Project Description
Waterfall was used for project management and the cross functional team determined the order and scope of tasks. We met for half of each day while planning the project and then bi-weekely during development to check-in and address any issues or delays.
I was also part of a cross-functional team tasked with planning the website redesign by incorporating data-driven personalization, customer focused content and segmentation, and a seamless e-commerce experience. Additionally, I am the lead developer on the project implementing a modern, responsive design on top of a new Sitecore architecture that is flexible, component-driven, and maintainable. It was a great challenge to navigate different perspectives, coordinate with large teams, and architect this new website.
The prior website had done well servicing 2.5 million visitors a year in 10 different languages, but was showing it's age. Many projects had been bolted on over a 15+ year period and the resulting codebase and architecture was fragmented and difficult to maintain. One of my goals is to present a more performant, consistent, and standard based implementation that met the growing needs of their community of editors.
Current State
The Promega homepage has been redesigned since I worked there 7 years ago but you can view the current site below:
