Problem

Aulcorp Foods faced several challenges with their existing digital presence that impeded their market effectiveness and operational efficiency. The previous website was not optimized for the current digital landscape, resulting in poor user engagement, low SEO rankings, and insufficient lead generation. Additionally, the site lacked modern design aesthetics and functional responsiveness, which hindered user interaction and accessibility, especially on mobile devices. These issues not only affected customer perceptions but also limited Aulcorp’s ability to effectively showcase their full range of services and innovations in the private label food industry.

The approach to redesigning Aulcorp Foods' website focused on modernizing its digital presence. This included a comprehensive UX audit and user research to identify key areas for improvement.

A responsive, user-centric design system was then developed, featuring a restructured information architecture to optimize SEO and improve navigation. Interactive elements and motion designs were integrated to enhance engagement, followed by extensive usability testing.

Finally, the site was launched with ongoing analysis to ensure continuous optimization and performance improvements.

Firkant collaborated closely with its in-house development team to translate the finalized design into a functional digital platform. The design team worked hand-in-hand with the developers to ensure that the design vision was accurately implemented during the development phase
Firkant's front-end developers took charge of converting the UI designs into responsive web pages. They used programming languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the user interface and make it interactive for users. The focus was on creating a seamless user experience that aligned with the user-centric design principles established during the earlier design process.
The back-end development team was responsible for building the core functionalities of the Plots.finance platform. This involved setting up the necessary smart contracts and blockchain integration, managing user authentication and security, and enabling transaction processing and revenue-sharing mechanisms.
Firkant's blockchain developers created and deployed smart contracts on the appropriate blockchain network to facilitate virtual land ownership, token transactions, and revenue distribution. The smart contracts ensured transparency and security within the platform.
Throughout the development process, Firkant's quality assurance team rigorously tested the platform for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and overall functionality. They conducted both manual and automated testing to ensure that the product met the desired standards and provided a seamless user experience.
Once the development and testing phases were complete, Firkant integrated all components of the platform and prepared it for deployment. They ensured that the platform was compatible with different devices and browsers to guarantee accessibility for all users.
After the successful deployment of the Plots.finance platform, Firkant provided ongoing post-launch support. This included addressing any issues or feedback from users, making necessary updates, and continuously improving the product based on user needs and emerging trends.
