Covivio: Recast of the site factory with Gutenberg

Type of execution

Covivio, formerly known as Foncière des Régions, is a European real estate operator whose mission is to design and manage spaces to work, travel and live differently. For more than two decades, the group has redefined the face of European cities by offering innovative, sustainable and attractive office spaces, hotels and housing.

Issue

The collaboration started in 2019 with the resumption in maintenance of the site factory, originally built with the page Builder WPBakery. We have set up a support in RUN, punctuated by the implementation of several evolutions as well as the redesign of the Wellio site, one of the subsidiaries of the group.

We also made a host change, passing the Covivio sites to WordPress VIP, for more flexibility, and a quality of service and premium performance guaranteed by the VIP offer. As a result, the team worked on the recommendation of a redesign of the site factory with Gutenberg, in a logic of cost-optimization and management time.

Our objectives

Simplify the contribution experience

Building a robust and scalable platform

Evolving the graphic design of Covivio, Covivio Hotels and Covivio SGP sites

Collaboration

As part of this collaboration, we designed new templates to modernize the design of the site, while remaining true to the visual identity of the group. The process included a work of migration of WPbakery content to Gutenberg and the resumption of previous features.

We have adopted a strong "user" approach, with the establishment of SXO workshops and extensive data analysis work.

Results

This partnership, initiated by a resumption in maintenance, has been transformed into an ambitious project of redesign. We have combined our know-how, integrating both the maintenance and creation phases, for an actor in the real estate sector we know well. Our Gutenberg expertise was a major asset for the success of this project, reinforced by our project management methodology, structured and proven for long-term missions.

This recast symbolizes a fruitful collaboration that has lasted for more than 4 years and perfectly embodies our approach at Be API, where we focus on relationships based on sustainable engagement and in-depth needs analysis to provide fair answers.

The project is now being monitored in TMA at Be API.
