- Difficulties in making timely updates and content changes to the website
- An inability to effectively leverage modern web technologies and frameworks to enhance the user experience
Challenges
One of the primary challenges in revamping the design agency's website was creating a user-friendly interface that would captivate visitors and seamlessly showcase the agency's exceptional work. Ensuring the website provided a visually engaging and technically robust experience was crucial to transforming their online presence.
Some key challenges included:
