13 days from contract to live website

In September I replaced the website of GMN-Color, a digital print shop in Újpest, which dated from around 2013, with a modern, mobile-first one.

What went into it

Quote request form with file upload

Separate fields for each product: size, number of copies, paper, binding. The print-ready file can be several hundred megabytes. The old form had a name, an email and a text box.

The new quote request form on a phone: product, size, number of copies, deadline and the file upload field

Built for mobile

A proper menu instead of a dropdown list, and product pages that are comfortable to use on a phone.

Google addresses kept

All 14 product pages stay at the same address.

A fast, static site

There are no plugins to keep updating and no database, so it is fast and there is less that can go wrong.

Secure connection everywhere

The old http addresses also redirect automatically to the encrypted version.

Backup and the existing hosting

The new site runs on the company's existing hosting, and a full backup of the old site was made first.

Review

Perfect, professional approach, fast and beautiful work! Good value for money!
