Latchways plc—world’s leading manufacturer of fall protection systems, providing safety whenever anyone is working at height.
As Latchways have grown they have moved into new territories and launched new products to work in different industries. Their website therefore needs to be multi-lingual and contain a huge amount of information for the different products sold around the world.
This was the fifth generation of Latchways website developed by cforce, the first being back in the early days of the internet in 1997. Built on the Drupal CMS platform, the site had over 1,200 pages of information across five languages. It had the capability to have different sitemaps and content between languages and all activity was fully tracked. It was highly search engine optimised (SEO), resulting in hundreds of top-three first-page Google rankings for key phrases. An online e-commerce store was added to the site to allow direct sales of their ‘Personal Rescue Device’ product.
When MSA Safety acquired Latchways, the separate latchways.com website was no longer required.
