Project Overview


KVH approached Wakefly seeking a partner to perform a complete overhaul of their very outdated website using Sitecore as the content management platform. Not only was the website in need of a technical upgrade, but the visual representation of the brand also needed a refresh. Wakefly engaged in a multi-year project, beginning with persona development, corresponding wireframes and sitemap strategy, all the way through to design and development.

The goals of the project were to: educate the varying target audiences of KVH’s services offerings, improve content and organic rankings to drive increased conversions, improve the content management experience by integrating with KVH’s back-end platforms, and differentiate KVH from their key competitors.
