Introduction

City Wide Facility Solutions, a leader in the building maintenance industry, needed a major overhaul of their website CMS. Their website looked good, but had been built on a retrofitted WordPress template intended for a different industry, making it inflexible and ill-suited for their needs. To empower their nationwide franchisees and attract potential franchise owners, we partnered with City Wide to rebuild both their Corporate Website and Franchise Development Site from the ground up, the right way.

The Challenge Ahead

City Wide faced several challenges with their previous website:
  • The WordPress template was not designed for their industry, making updates and customizations cumbersome.
  • The platform lacked scalability to support their growing network of 100+ franchise microsites.
  • Some franchise locations had custom content that risked being lost during the transition.
  • Their office locator tool was not user-friendly.

  1. Corporate Website Rebuild

    • Created a robust hub for 100+ microsites, enabling franchisees to manage their online presence efficiently.

  2. Franchise Development Site Replatform

    • Retained the existing design while laying a foundation for future enhancements.
  3. Office Locator Upgrade
    • Implemented our award-winning office locator tool, offering users a seamless way to find City Wide locations.
