Explain a substantial equipment range and control how products appear within it.
What we brought
Catalogue copy and website development, including numerical ordering within individual product tabs.
What it is there to do
Customers can explore equipment details; the supplier has a way to set the display order and add supplied sale material.
The Rural Shop website. Existing client branding and supplied product imagery were used in the website work.
The context
The business.
The Rural Shop.com is an Australian livestock equipment supplier with important differences between products. A cattle crush, ramp or feeder needs enough explanation for someone to work out whether it suits the job, along with a useful way to ask a question.
The website needed to organise the range while making room for features, options and images. It also needed a workable way to present later product changes and supplied promotional material as the business's information changed.
What we needed to understand.
We needed to understand how the equipment was grouped, which product details helped someone compare options and how the business wanted that information displayed. Later requests reached the level of ordering products within individual tabs, where presentation affects how someone reads through the range.
How we approached it.
We developed the copy, content structure, design and WordPress build using the client's existing branding and supplied product material. Later work included cattle-handling content and imagery, the display order of products within individual tabs and updates using supplied sale brochures and promotional content.
What we put together.
Website discovery, structure, copywriting and design
Product-led WordPress development
Equipment categories and detailed product information
Product imagery updates and ordering controls within tabs
Ongoing brochure, promotional content and website updates
A closer look
The detail behind the work.
The detail is part of the product.
The content work organised equipment into understandable ranges, then made room for features, options and images. It gives a broad catalogue a consistent structure without treating every piece of equipment as interchangeable.
A site that can keep up with the range.
Later work included updates to cattle-handling content and images, along with a numerical ordering preference for individual product tabs. Supplied sale brochures and promotional material could be updated on the site as the business needed them.
More than a page
The foundations around the delivery.
01
Product content matrix
A working structure for categories, features and display decisions.
02
Catalogue presentation
Website copy and page layouts connected to the real equipment range.
03
Ongoing publishing
A practical home for new products, images and supplied promotional material.
The practical value.
The value is in an organised range that still carries the particular product's detail. Content patterns and display controls give updates a structure, while the website and supplied promotional material can present the information customers need at that point.
A connected product structure helps customers find their way through a broader rural range. The perspective explains our current approach to editable sites; it does not identify every plugin used on this earlier build.
