The Solution

Initial Development

In the initial phase, 99.co provided us with design files in Sketch, and we built the site using Genesis with a Bootstrap framework. The development included two designs for a Consumer blog and an Agent blog, each tailored to its respective audience.

Revamping for the New Solution

We embarked on a new solution for phase two, with designs provided by the 99.co team in Figma. This time, we built the website in Genesis with the Tailwind framework, ensuring:

  • SEO Optimisation: The site was built with a strong focus on SEO, ensuring it was fast and compliant with Core Web Vitals.
  • Seamless User Experience: We duplicated the 99.co menu and footer across the blog to ensure a seamless user experience when navigating between the main property site and the blog.
  • Dynamic Widget Integration: We integrated dynamic widgets, allowing 99.co editors to place various call-to-action or advertising widgets throughout the website articles as they see fit, such as the "find your home market price" generator.
  • Effective Content Organisation: Content was meticulously organised via categories, and common tags facilitated content linkage. Additionally, a custom message call to action was implemented at the bottom of most articles, allowing for tailored messages based on the content/category in the article.

Explore the digital frontier with Chillybin, where we transformed 99.co's vision into a dynamic, user-centric blog platform, enhancing user experience and SEO efficiency.

Ranking exceptionally well with organic traffic, the site is a foundation of the digital marketing platform implemented by 99.co and one that we are absolutely delighted with. The improvements to Core Web Vitals have further enhanced its performance, ensuring a seamless experience for our users.
