Project Outline

As a previous client, TLJ Access Control reached out to us to share their ambitions of creating a greater global presence. They operate in multiple sectors including student accommodation, hospitality and leisure, hotels and, most recently, multi-family residential (BTR/PRS) properties. They specialise in contactless locks and access management system to provide unrivalled flexibility against other market competitors.

After sealing their mark on the UK and Irish market, their next mission was to take their control systems global and disrupt the US, European, African and Asian markets in order to become world leaders in access control solutions.

Outcomes

As TLJ were a returning client, we had a solid foundation to work from. We began by improving the CMS using Expression Engine version six and developed a web-component based solution making it easier for the client to update content and build new pages in-house as required.

Whilst implementing these changes, we enhanced the frontend appearance to make the site easier to navigate and for the consumer to be locate relevant information swiftly. We also reformed the site content with graphics, videos, improved product details and case studies and since the launch of these changes, the client has achieved a 65% increase in time spent on the site and a 6% bounce rate reduction.

A factor that we considered when refreshing the site content was the countries that it would reach and, because of the fact that we were targeting US and European markets, we decided to translate the relevant site content into Spanish. We have seen a 36% increase in international web traffic since this language addition.

After we made these changes and they had been live for a period of time, we created a report for the client and discovered that 90% of web visitors were new and there was a 616% increase in goal conversion. Both of these findings reiterate a positive outcome against the client’s objectives.
