Ureco.com BigCommerce Website Redesign
United Restaurant Equipment Company (Ureco), a leading supplier in the restaurant industry, sought to revamp its digital presence. Facing challenges with an outdated website and the need for enhanced mobile and B2B capabilities, they turned to MAKDigital for a solution. Recognizing MAKDigital's reputation for innovation and client success, United Restaurant Equipment saw them as the perfect partner to transform their online platform and stay competitive in the market.


Concept
In their mission to supply premier equipment to restaurants, United Restaurant Equipment faced three significant hurdles. Firstly, their website's outdated design hindered effective product showcasing and left visitors unimpressed. Secondly, mobile users encountered obstacles navigating the site, falling short of modern standards. Lastly, the need for an enhanced B2B management system became evident to streamline operations.
In parallel with the theme build, we implemented SEO best practices throughout the website, optimizing meta tags, keywords, and content structure to improve search engine visibility and drive organic traffic. By integrating our BigCommerce SEO services directly into the theme build, we ensured that United Restaurant Equipment's website would be well-positioned to attract and engage its target audience effectively.
Furthermore, we integrated Bundle B2B, a robust B2B management platform, into the website to streamline wholesale operations and enhance customer satisfaction. This solution enabled United Restaurant Equipment to efficiently manage B2B transactions, pricing, and customer accounts, thereby improving operational efficiency and bolstering customer retention rate. As a result, United Restaurant Equipment is now equipped with a modern, optimized digital platform ready to meet the demands of today's market and drive continued success.
Additionally, our BigCommerce web design approach ensured a mobile-first, responsive layout, providing an exceptional user experience across all devices. Our team of BigCommerce developers also implemented a new navigation system to enhance user interaction and accessibility.
