Project Brief

Westernex Pty Ltd needed a secure, mining-industry-focused web portal that lets approved customers assemble a request-for-quote without ever exposing list prices online. Key aims were:

• Support only mining customers behind a gated login or IP whitelist
• Offer 1,600+ products (cutting consumables, welding rods, safety gear) with multiple variants
• Enable “quote cart” workflows—users pick items and quantities, review their basket, then submit a single RFQ to Westernex sales
• Keep all pricing offline so every quote is customised and manually reviewed

Key Features & Deliverables

• Product Catalogue & Variants
  • 1,600+ SKUs organised by category (e.g. Core Bits, Saw Blades, Guides)
  • Variant selectors for size, material grade and packaging options
  • Live availability flags (in stock / lead time) without showing any price fields
• Quote Cart
  • “Add to quote” buttons on each product page and in search results
  • Persistent cart sidebar summarising quantities and part numbers
• RFQ Submission & Notifications
  • One-click “Submit Quote Request” sends consolidated enquiry to Westernex’s sales team
  • Automated acknowledgement email with PDF summary of requested items (no prices)
  • Dashboard for users to track status: “Received,” “In Review,” “Quoted,” “Closed”
• Mobile-Responsive Design
  • Optimised for field use on tablets and phones, ensuring geologists and site engineers can build quotes on the go

Special Integrations

1. Custom CRM Connector
   • Every RFQ creates a lead in Westernex’s CRM with line-item details and customer metadata
2. Availability Sync
   • Background job imports current stock and lead-time data from Westernex’s warehouse system every hour
3. PDF Summary Generator
   • Lightweight template that renders the RFQ basket into a branded PDF (item codes, descriptions, quantities

Outcomes & Achievements

• Streamlined lead capture: RFQ submissions rose by 70% within two months of launch.
• Reduced manual errors: CSV import and variant pickers cut mis-orders by 40%.
• Improved field usability: Mobile-responsive quote cart meant site-based engineers could assemble RFQs without returning to office.
• Enhanced customer trust: Keeping prices offline reinforced Westernex’s consultative, service-first approach in the mining industry.

Project Brief

Almonte Diamond needed a modern, responsive site to showcase their Automatic Core Saws, Accessories and Safety documentation to global mining and exploration clients. With offices and agents across Australia, South Africa, Latin America and North America, the site had to:

• Present product specs and downloads in four languages
• Allow users to request quotes and brochures online
• Surface safety manuals and spare-parts guides
• Be easy for Almonte’s internal team to update

Key Features & Deliverables

• Fully multilingual build (English, German, French, Spanish) with neat top-bar language selector, auto‐redirect and SEO-friendly URL structure.
• Custom product catalog powered by the CMS’s native content component (option=com_content), organised into categories (Core Saws, Recycling Units, Blades, Guides).
• Dynamic enquiry form integrated with the client’s CRM: sends language-tagged emails to the correct regional sales rep, captures lead data and auto-attaches PDF brochures.
• Brochure & safety download manager: public “Downloads” area with version control, file expiry notices and download counters.
• Responsive, mobile-first template: CSS grid layouts, collapsible nav on small screens, fingerprint-fast loading (under 1.5 s on 3G).
• Embedded product video with on-page modal viewer, ensuring specs and demonstrations live side-by-side.

Special Setups & Integrations

1. Language-switching engine built on the CMS’s multilingual framework, with custom PHP logic to map /en/ ⇄ /de/ ⇄ /fr/ ⇄ /es/ and preserve query strings (e.g. inquiry forms, brochure downloads).
2. Automated PDF routing: when a user requests a brochure, the form dynamically pulls the correct language PDF from the server and emails it along with safety instructions.
3. Spare-parts stock alerts: a custom plugin monitors download counts on warranty & parts manuals; when thresholds are hit, it notifies Almonte’s service team to restock or update.
4. SEO localisation: tailored meta tags and Hreflang annotations on every page; integrated with Google Search Console so each language variant is indexed correctly.
5. Global contact matrix: based on the site’s dropdown selection (continent → region → country), enquiry emails route to the nearest distributor, ensuring leads never get “lost in translation.”

Outcomes & Achievements

• 50% jump in online enquiries within three months, driven by the streamlined, language-specific form flow.
• Reduced content update time by 60%: the client’s marketing team can now add a new blade or safety PDF without developer support.
• Zero duplicate‐content penalties in Google—each language version ranks independently, boosting organic traffic from key mining regions.
• Outstanding client feedback for the clean, intuitive interface and the reliability of the automated download system.

“World Wide Webstein delivered exactly what we needed: a rock-solid, global site that speaks our customers’ language — literally.”

Plastic Core Tray Australia is a trusted supplier of high-quality plastic core trays for the mining and exploration industry. The goal of this project was to create a clean, fast, and easy-to-navigate website that reflects the durability and reliability of their products — and makes it effortless for customers to get the information they need.

What I Delivered

🧱 Simple, Straightforward Design

The layout is deliberately minimal and user-focused. No distractions — just clear messaging, concise product information, and intuitive navigation. This supports the brand’s industrial feel and ensures instant clarity for buyers in technical industries.

📦 Product Catalogue (Without E-Commerce)

Instead of a full online store, this site acts as a product showcase. Each tray size is presented with key specs and optional PDF downloads — ideal for B2B clients who prefer direct contact and quoting over checkout-based transactions.

⚙️ Built for Speed & Function

• Optimised for fast loading and mobile use
• Clear CTAs to encourage direct enquiries
• Built on a lightweight WordPress structure with performance in mind
• SEO-optimised for niche industry terms

🌐 Scalable & Easy to Manage

The backend is streamlined so that adding new product variants or documents is easy — no unnecessary complexity, just efficient content management for the client.

Why This Project Stands Out

This site proves that even highly niche, technical businesses benefit from professional, well-organised web design. It shows that you can be straightforward without being plain, and industrial without sacrificing style or user experience.
