As Marret Asset wanted to promote their business in a modern and accessible way, the firm believed that our team at Eggs Media could bring shine and professional appeal to their current website.

Problem

The old Marret Asset’s website was evidently outdated, non-responsive and definitely not in line with their business and brand. There was a lack of appropriate user experience and user interface, which was the primary challenge in regards to this project. Our team had to increase the website’s responsiveness as well as the website’s usability.

When it comes to secondary challenges, we must point out the rewriting of the markup in order to fit the AODA compliance level AA. The reason for this lies in the fact that the law will be active and required, starting in 2021. Moreover, the client requested prompt pop-up windows in order to display or hide the content based on the user’s response.
