Website Redesign: Tuckahoe Trading
A small business website with a BIG impact

Client: Tuckahoe Trading, an Eastern Pennsylvania distributor of apparel, metalworking and laser engraving machinery and services

Project Overview: Tuckahoe Trading was looking to build a new website that looks professional, is easy to use and clearly communicates its business to potential clients

Problem areas:
  • The website needed to create an identity and a purpose that was immediately apparent to visitors
  • The design work was aesthetically unappealing
  • Users were forced to "dig" by clicking deeper and deeper in order to reach relevant pages with no clear path back
  • There was no instructional copy
  • The website contained very limited, uninformative content which prevented the site from receiving much attention from search engines
  • Contact information was difficult to find
  • Multiple links to other websites were unpredictable, confusing, and distracting
  • It was difficult to identify that anything was for sale on the site
GSS solutions:
  • A home page with a concise message about Tuckahoe Trading
  • Design work made the site very attractive and professional
  • Full exposure of the site's categories, allowing frustration-free navigation
  • Helpful instructional copy where appropriate to help guide the user
  • Site content that uses key search terms and provides useful descriptions
  • Easy-to-find contact information
  • Links to other websites are identified
  • Products and machinery are displayed on easy-to-identify product pages where purchasing information is clearly stated
  • The great show-piece of this new website is the "Laser Engraving & Marking Services" page, where images are used to grab attention
