As the Swiss market leader for high-quality wood/aluminum windows and facade systems, the company 4B (www.4-b.ch) places great importance on aesthetically appealing online communication. In the context of the corporate website's visual relaunch, 4B opted for the CMS technology of CONTENS.
For a business with many different target groups such as end consumers, architects, and facility managers, it is important to address these target groups with the content they expect. Through the structured set-up of CONTENS separate areas for different target groups are very easily created and administered. While structured in a similar way the target groups each come with their own targeted content. End consumers, for example, find different product information under the menu item "Downloads" than facility managers, since they are each based on individual requirements.
In addition to the smooth implementation of all requirements, the user-friendly graphical interface was a key factor in choosing CONTENS. Jan Keiser, Brand Manager at 4B, stresses the importance for his business: "Our website is often the first contact point for interested persons and customers and thus our most important business card. Therefore, it is our aspiration to always stay on the cutting edge of things. With CONTENS we manage this very easily."
Conception and redesign of the web presence were realized by the Swiss CONTENS partner nextage (www.nextage.ch) who was also in charge of the technical implementation.
