Case Study: From Idea to International Brand: A Trading Company’s Evolving Website Journey
Thinking of launching a business but don’t have all your products ready? Or wondering when’s the right time to build your company website? This case study reveals how we partnered with WomInTech, an ambitious export/trading startup from Selangor, to build a dynamic online presence that grew with their vision, proving that the perfect time to start a website is now.
The Spark: An Idea with Global Ambition
WomInTech approached Solbright Digital Services with a powerful vision: to launch a Malaysian brand on the international stage, targeting high-end international markets like South Korea, Milan, and Dubai. The challenge? While the founder had a clear concept and unique value proposition, her product lines were still in the development phase.
The common dilemmas among Malaysian startups on building a website are: “When should I start building my company website?”; “Is it too early to build a website?”; “Should I wait till I have more contents and products?”
Our answer to a startup’s biggest question: You should start your website even if you don’t have a full range of product yet. The key is to build a strategy and a flexible foundation that can grow with you.
The founder knew she needed a professional web design company to back her idea, but didn’t want to wait until every product was perfectly photographed and cataloged. This is a common dilemma for startups, and it’s where an agile web design agency like ours truly shines.
The Solbright Approach: Building and Evolving Together
Our journey with WomInTech was a testament to iterative design and continuous collaboration.
- Phase 1: The Handbag Hype (Landing Page Focus) We began by creating a captivating landing page specifically for the initial handbag brand. Our team not only crafted an elegant design but also provided strategic copywriting to articulate the brand’s Unique Value Proposition (UVP). This immediate online presence gave WomInTech credibility, even as product mock-ups were still in progress.
This early stage allowed WomInTech to confidently engage potential overseas partners, fulfilling the immediate need for a digital storefront. - Phase 2: Adapting to Growth (Handbags & Food) As WomInTech secured more detailed mock-ups of their handbags, we promptly updated the landing page with fresh visuals. But the brand’s vision quickly expanded. When a new line of traditional food products was identified, we sprung into action. We redesigned placeholder pages, integrated new branding elements, and developed engaging copywriting to introduce this exciting new direction.
This demonstrated our ability to adapt swiftly, ensuring her website remained a true reflection of her evolving business. - Phase 3: Expanding Horizons (Product Launches & Partnerships) The pace picked up. With more concrete product ideas and packaging designs, we integrated new high-quality photos and refreshed content. The true highlight of our partnership came when WomInTech secured partners for three new product lines! In each instance, we rapidly designed and developed dedicated landing pages, complete with bespoke copywriting, showcasing their expanded offerings effectively.
Our ongoing support meant WomInTech could focus on securing business, knowing their digital platform would always keep pace.
