Challenge

The objective of the project was to relaunch leica-camera.com to be a state-of-the-art website for brand and product communication. The site needed to be fully migrated from a legacy CMS with deep integration of PIM, eCommerce and CRM solutions. 

Approach

There was a fixed budget for the MVP launch and lots of issues along the way. The interesting thing here is how we learned from our mistakes, improved and established a relationship based on trust, expertise and dedication.

Work Steps

  • Scoping of the MVP and backlog creation
  • UX & UI development
  • Drupal development

Results

FFW revamped Leica Camera AG’s web presence by creating a product and interface that is intuitive, simple and efficient. Now, Leica Camera AG has a stable, scalable and extendable application. Backend handling was significantly improved as well. A deeper layer of communicating was added by introducing an interactive scrollytelling page for immersive product presentation of Leica’s new flagship product M11.

FFW’s powerful architecture  met Leica Camera AG’s needs for scalability, flexibility, and adaptation to the company’s needs efficiently and quickly.
