The platform, built on Umbraco 7, was showing clear signs of ageing. Products did not always display correctly, minor bugs disrupted the user experience, and the lack of regular updates raised growing security concerns.
For a company with an established reputation, an unreliable website was not acceptable. Ferbar required more than issue resolution. A partner was needed to restore stability in the short term while defining a clear path for the future.
As accessibility standards and digital compliance requirements evolved, it also became important to improve the overall accessibility of the platform, ensuring a more inclusive and user-friendly experience for all users.
Today, Ferbar’s website is modern, secure, and prepared for future growth.
Migrated from Umbraco 7 to Umbraco 10, ensuring long-term stability and compliance.
Rebuilt using a headless architecture, combining a Next.js frontend with an Umbraco backend to improve performance and flexibility.
A custom API was developed to manage communication between frontend and backend, anticipating what would later become the official Umbraco Delivery API.
Accessibility improvements were implemented across the platform, including contrast optimisation, improved readability, clearer information hierarchy, image accessibility enhancements, and technical accessibility corrections aligned with WCAG best practices.
Ongoing updates and proactive maintenance ensure the platform remains secure and operates reliably.
The result is a digital platform that supports Ferbar’s business with consistency, allowing internal teams to focus on core operations with confidence.
