THE CHALLENGE

Econolite needed a fresh new look to streamline its product offerings across its multi-site, multilanguage presence. To streamline development, Econolite needed an easy way to create content once and publish it to any of the websites in their network.

 

THE SOLUTION

Using the WordPress MU multi-site platform, the Econolite team is able to ‘publish once’ and ‘broadcast’ posts and pages to other subsites with the click of a button.

A custom page-builder allows the administrators to add new pages that meet the specific needs while staying on brand.

An integrated knowledgebase allows Econolite to manage a high volume of supporting documents including manuals, whitepapers, and brochures for each product in a highly organized, and easy-to-use admin interface. On the front end – a hinted search feature allows users to quickly find the documents they are looking for. Product-specific documents are tagged to feed automatically into the appropriate product page on the site.

The Econolite Canada site supports Multi-language for English and French using the WPML extension. The translation tools on the back end allow Econolite to choose what pages to translate. The language switcher on the front-end allows users to easily toggle back and forth between the two languages.

Econolite’s Learn Center is integrated with an LMS for employee training and customer workshops.
