UTC approached us with the challenge of refreshing their brand and developing a new WordPress website that would capture their dynamic spirit. They wanted a modern design that enhances user experience, ensures ADA compliance, and provides a robust backend management system for their extensive range of stores, events, offers, and lead generation.

We created a custom website that reflects UTC’s vibrant identity with a bold color scheme and intuitive design. The new site features an easy-to-navigate layout, making it simple for visitors to find information about shopping, dining, events, and more. Ensuring ADA compliance was a priority, so we followed guidelines to make the site accessible to all users.

Our work included integrating a powerful backend management system through WordPress, allowing UTC to effortlessly update and manage content for their stores, events, and special offers. Additionally, we included tools for effective lead generation, helping UTC capture and manage leads smoothly.

The new website not only enhanced UTC’s online presence but also significantly improved user engagement and search engine visibility. By creating a seamless and engaging online experience, we helped UTC solidify their position as a central hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment in the Sarasota-Bradenton area.
