Segnation, LLC is the parent company for Segway of Annapolis and Annapolis Segway tours and handles the sales and service end for individuals, corporations and government agencies throughout the region. Segnation approached me to redesign their website as well as add a number of features they wanted to incorporate.
As a quickly growing small business, Segnation had outgrown their old site and needed something much more modern with which to communicate with their customers. The previous site was done in static HTML and updates to products and news were slow and required proficiency in HTML and CSS.
Segnation's goals were ambitious and they needed a site that could grow with the company. I reworked the information architecture so that the site layout would more accurately reflect the business' goals. Primary categories were broken down into Products, Services, Tours and Segmax, the used Segway and accessory business that Segnation was building.
A fresh new design makes the site more engaging, clean and easier to navigate for the user. Products are broken down into categories based upon the different consumer groups that might be viewing the page, making the task of determining which Segway is appropriate for the user very simple.
Behind the pretty exterior I built a Django content management system that handles the products, blog, Segmax and miscellaneous content pages for service descriptions and tour information. The entire site is managed by Segnation staff and requires nothing more than point-and-click and the ability to type in information.
