The BeTheme WordPress theme was selected for its versatility and customization options, making it an ideal choice for Woodbridge Products’ website. BeTheme’s prebuilt website templates and flexible design features allowed for the creation of a visually appealing, functional platform that reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation and quality.

E-Commerce Integration
Although primarily an informational site, WooCommerce was integrated to support inquiries for bulk purchases, sample orders, and dealer inquiries. Customizations include:

  • Product Inquiry Forms: Each product page features a “Request More Information” form, making it easy for visitors to connect with sales representatives.
  • Dealer Locator: A dealer locator tool allows customers to find Woodbridge-approved dealers in their region.

SEO Optimization and Structured Data
The website was optimized for search engines using Yoast SEO, with a focus on PVC decking-related keywords. Structured data for products and locations was implemented to enhance visibility in search engine results, helping customers quickly find product details and dealer locations.

Performance Optimization and Caching
To ensure fast page loads and a smooth user experience, several optimizations were implemented:

  • SSL Encryption: Ensures all data transfers between the website and users are secure.
  • Firewall and Malware Scanning: A security plugin, such as Wordfence, monitors and prevents potential vulnerabilities.
