Project Summary

Curotec overhauled an outdated, country-fragmented website to build a centralized, WordPress-based multilingual CMS for Joie Children’s Products. The platform made every word translatable and manageable by local offices, and included custom infrastructure and plugin development. The new site drove web traffic well beyond expectations and received positive feedback across subsidiaries and corporate.

Key Challenges

  • Replace a dated, fragmented website scattered across country-specific sites
  • Align infrastructure, development, and branding to a global Joie Children’s Products identity
  • Build a CMS where all content is translatable and manageable locally or centrally
  • Handle complex regional variations and retailer integrations for nearly 40 countries

Project Deliverables

  • WordPress-based multilingual CMS
  • Custom plugin and infrastructure development
  • One-click regional retailer purchase integration
  • Backend infrastructure to manage multiple country sites

Project Solution

Curotec developed the backend infrastructure and all programming for a WordPress-based CMS, including custom plugin development and pushing WordPress capabilities to support a global, translatable site. They advised heavily on design alongside the client's in-house teams, built a one-click system to facilitate purchases through country-specific retailers, and prepared the site for a more robust SEO program in the future. They managed development timelines despite pauses for the client's rebranding and launched the site in February 2016.

Project Outcome

  • Web traffic increased substantially beyond projections
  • The site received positive feedback from subsidiaries and corporate
  • Multiple countries embraced and began rolling their sites over to the centralized site
  • A one-click system enabled purchases from country-specific retailers
