Case study: HOLD Fund Management Inc.

Category: Software development (web development)

Task completed: Website development based on customer-supplied design and migration of over 10,000 blog pages

Volume: over 10,000 pages

The Project

Our project for HOLD Fund Management showcased our expertise in website redevelopment, transitioning from a legacy Node.Js and MySQL architecture to a more robust and user-friendly WordPress platform. This transformation required meticulous planning to ensure top-notch security and technological standards were met.

The redevelopment journey began with a comprehensive analysis and development of technical, and design requirements. Our development team began with foundational tasks, establishing the necessary structure and design. We prepared the websites for further refinements, focusing on creating a responsive web design essential for optimizing conversions and search engine optimization (SEO).

A significant goal was to dynamically increase the website's traffic and conversion rates. This objective necessitated complex structural and technological changes. Key tasks included revamping the menu structure, creating product pages, enhancing the structural layout of additional pages, and optimizing the websites for search engines. These changes were critical in significantly enhancing the websites' performance and success.

 This project underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, responsive, and SEO-optimized websites. Through strategic planning, technical excellence, and a focus on user experience, we significantly contributed to the enhanced performance and success of HOLD Fund Management’s online presence.

Client: Raday Antiquarian Bookshop
Industry: Retail (Antiquarian Books)
Services Provided: E-commerce Development, IT Consultation, SEO Optimization
Timeline: July 2021 - Present

Background:
Before July 2021, Raday Antiquarian Bookshop, a well-respected Budapest-based antiquarian business, had no online presence. Despite a significant inventory of rare, valuable, and used books, sales were limited to manual uploads on online trading platforms. Past software development experiences had been unfavorable, leaving the company hesitant about venturing into e-commerce development.

Challenge:
Raday Antiquarian Bookshop faced several obstacles in establishing an online store. Initial software development costs were high, and subsequent modifications to make the software fully functional incurred additional, unexpectedly high expenses. Concerns over the total cost of development led to the abandonment of the project, leaving them without a viable online system.

Solution:
Bluebird provided an innovative approach to these challenges, understanding that the key to success was making Raday’s inventory visible and sellable online. We developed a comprehensive solution encompassing a back office system, an e-commerce website, and an interface for data synchronization, all at no upfront cost to Raday. Instead, a commission model from sales revenue was agreed upon, ensuring mutual benefits and long-term partnership.

Conclusion:
This project not only revitalized Raday’s business model but also set a precedent for successful digital transformation in traditional sectors. The collaboration between Raday Antiquarian Bookshop and Bluebird highlights the power of innovative solutions, strategic partnerships, and the potential for traditional businesses to thrive in the digital age. Our journey with Raday is ongoing, and we look forward to reaching new heights together.
