Project Overview

CBMS, a conveyor bearing machine supplies company, needed a new professional website to showcase their extensive product catalog and establish their online presence in the competitive industrial machinery market. The client required a comprehensive e-commerce solution that would allow customers to browse products and request quotes.

While evaluating theme options, the client selected a template that could serve as a foundation. However, we determined that a complete custom redesign would be necessary to meet their specific business requirements and industry standards.

The biggest challenge was that the client didn't have organized product data readily available. To solve this, we developed and deployed advanced web scraping tools to extract comprehensive product information from their suppliers' websites, creating a complete database of products, specifications, and pricing information.

We also provided strategic domain advice, recommending they include "conveyor" in their domain name to improve search engine rankings for their target keywords in the South African market.
