Understanding the Project Requirements
CH Electrical Wholesalers needed a website capable of presenting a large range of electrical products without turning the website into a complicated ecommerce system.

- Client content management and training
The project specification included 17 major electrical product categories, ranging from cable management and wiring accessories to distribution, switchgear, lighting, heating controls and testing equipment.
WordPress Website Design and Development
Our WordPress Web Design solution was selected as the content management system because CH Electrical Wholesalers needed control over a sizeable website with frequently changing product and promotional information.
Elementor Pro was used to create the page layouts and make routine content changes easier for the client.

Trade Account and Enquiry Development
The website includes separate enquiry routes for general customers and businesses interested in opening a trade account.

The original specification confirms separate contact and trade account data capture requirements.
