GXportal Success Case :: Forlac Store, Website developed by SSI – (“Soluciones Software Inteligente”)
The web portal of this Mexican store, which offers comprehensive corporate solutions in the field of computing, was fully designed in GXportal one year ago and has since been experiencing a substantial increase in traffic and enhanced approach to customers. This article informs the benefits of developing web portals with GXportal, based on the experience of SSI.
For two decades, Forlac Store has been leader in the provision of computer products and related services. It is partner and authorized distributor of Microsoft, HP, Apple, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, Adobe, and Cisco, among others.
Along with SSI, they decided to update their website with GXportal. In addition to considering the simplicity of GXportal for content update, the decision was also based on the advantages found in developing a customized site covering their business needs and objectives. As a result of this renewal, and after one year of operation, they have acknowledged a quick and substantial increase in traffic without the need for investments in “Pay per Click” campaigns. Another aspect to point out are the numerous customers with whom the company has regained contact thanks to their only positioning and the contact data, included throughout all pages in the site.
“We developed a project to fulfill each and every objective relative to cutting-edge technology (CMS platform and hosting), innovative high-impact design, easy management with no programming knowledge required, intuitive functions for an enhanced user-experience, and easy positioning in search engines”, were the expressions of SSI’s Creative Director Edgar Blancas.
