With an outdated website that did not meet the needs of a modern, international audience, Valx, a manufacturer of axles for the transport sector, chose to thoroughly revamp their online presence. It was essential that their digital platform could reflect the vibrancy of their global operations.

Valx faced challenges on their previous website: limitations in content management and a lack of multilingual support made it difficult to communicate effectively with customers worldwide.

  • New multilingual Umbraco implementation equipped with powerful content management tools.
  • Custom table editor to simplify the management of complex product information on the website.
  • Interactive dealer locator provides a dynamic interface for finding dealers.
  • With the extensive search function, users can easily and quickly find specific parts.
  • Stable hosting on Umbraco Cloud ensures stable and optimal operation of the website.

Aligning Valx's online presence with their reputation in the market

Valx, a leading producer of trailer axles, realised the importance of a strong online presence for success and recognised that it was urgently time to renew their outdated website. The old website did not meet modern standards and hindered effective communication with the global customer base due to a lack of flexibility and multilingual support.

The technical infrastructure of Valx's old website was rigid and offered limited possibilities for adjustments and updates, which are essential for a company that responds quickly to market changes. Furthermore, the website was unable to provide effective multilingual support, which is crucial for Valx given their extensive international operations. This resulted in communication barriers that made it difficult to provide a coherent brand experience across different markets.

Webwonders implemented a new multilingual Umbraco site with advanced content management tools and multilingual management. This included a Table Editor for product information and an interactive dealer overview, along with a comprehensive search function for quick access to information, hosted on Umbraco Cloud for stability and reliability. Key new additions were a custom web design and a mobile-first approach to optimise accessibility and user experience on mobile devices.

The renewed Valx website has significantly enhanced their digital presence, with a flexible modular structure and fast search functions. This has increased operational efficiency and ensures consistent communication with customers worldwide, strengthening Valx's position as a market leader in the transport industry. The collaboration with Webwonders has not only prepared Valx for future growth and expansion but also strengthened their ability to meet the demands of an increasingly mobile and digital customer base.
