Website development & online marketing for one of the largest German order databases

Qualitative information & numerous contracts- ibau has been the first commercial provider for public and private tenders in the construction sector since 1957 and makes it easier for its customers to acquire suitable contracts. The information service for tenders is now one of the leading providers in Germany and makes a significant contribution to increasing companies' sales.

In 2019, it was time to relaunch the website and redesign the online marketing. Thanks to clearly formulated goals on the part of the client and precise, intensive analysis by us, the more than successful relaunch of the website and online marketing was completed in just seven months.

From the very first contact with the client, this project was a beacon for us. It was not just a "simple" website relaunch, but rather the complete redesign and implementation of the content and technical aspects of a website format that had already been more than successful. The aim was to demonstrate care and foresight within a defined timeframe. The result is more than convincing.

Course of the project

The relaunch of the website, the connection to various internal services, the implementation of various marketing tools, the creation of multi-client capability and the planning and implementation of online marketing (primarily SEO and SEA) were realized in just over seven months.

In cooperation with DREIKON, we were able to successfully implement a more than complex project. The tricky relaunch was successful and the results achieved are more than satisfactory.

Simultaneous conversion of website and online marketing without problems

Based on the open source CMS "ProcessWire", we designed the relaunch of five separate domains with management of these from one system. Individual rights management for each website in ProcessWire was a mandatory customer requirement.

In addition to the content conception and integration of the customer's offer pages, a blog and a glossary were also created. With a formulated and implemented content strategy, these reach several hundred thousand users per month - within the customer's target group. Some of these users are made aware of the tender information service via remarketing or SEO/SEA and later convert to ibau's tender pages. This top-of-the-funnel strategy in the area of content enables ibau to position itself early on with potential customers as a brand that offers strong advice.

Integration of tracking and various marketing tools

We also actively supported our client with the integration of providers such as Hubspot and Sendinblue. We also integrated and configured the Google Tag Manager and numerous tracking codes from other providers in the area of website user analysis. Of course, we were again commissioned in 2020 with the data protection-compliant adaptation with regard to the amended legislation in this area.

Connection of the in-house product database

In particular, the connection of the in-house product database in cooperation with the customer's IT department turned out to be a "project within a project". This task was also routinely managed and successfully completed by us. Today, the system we created processes several hundred complex data records per day and prepares them for output.

Close cooperation for successful project implementation

The scope of the collaboration with ibau ranged from initial discussions and sketches of a feasible timeframe and technical project progression to full implementation in the areas of SEO, SEA, web design, CMS programming, API connection, web tracking integration, content creation and various interdisciplinary training courses at the customer's premises.

The constructive collaboration has resulted in a very close working relationship with the team at ibau that has now lasted several years. We are very proud of the project and the customer and are delighted with the ongoing and successful cooperation.
