Bicycles are a means of transportation that have now become a hobby and a symbol of a healthy lifestyle. Many people use bicycles for recreation and commuting. As one of the premium bicycle manufacturers in Indonesia, Polygon needs a website that primarily functions as a catalog.
To reach and educate more bicycle users, Polygon offers its products online through its website. Recognizing the importance of a website as both a brand-supporting medium and a digital showcase, Polygon partnered with Tongkolspace to develop its website, which began in 2018.
In our collaboration with Polygon, we carried out several key tasks:
- Consultation Support
- Developing an auto-block scraper
- Catalog product migration
- Multi-language features
- SEO optimization
Polygon can be considered one of our most proactive clients in terms of consultation. To meet the client’s requests, we needed to research new technologies. It was not uncommon for the website to require support for urgent hotfixes or patches. As a result, the development of this website was classified as heavy development.
One of our innovations was in the server security sector, which was a top priority for Polygon. Due to the many scrapers targeting this website, we developed an auto-block scraper on Polygon’s server. As a result, Polygon’s website now has more robust server security.
The next challenge we faced was creating a multilingual shop. Since Polygon also markets its bicycles overseas, multilingual capability is a must-have feature on the website. What makes it unique is the dynamic content, which includes different products for each language.
Our work also included migrating the product catalog from the old website to the new one. While this may sound straightforward, it posed its own challenges due to the numerous product details, including specifications, models, colors, and sizes.
Search engine ranking positions were also a focus, especially since the official Polygon website was ranked below non-official Polygon websites. We conducted SEO optimization to enhance the website’s visibility on search engines. As a result, the official Polygon website now outperforms the unofficial Polygon website in search engine rankings.
Another achievement of this website is the dealer locator feature. Visitors can easily find the nearest dealer from their location, making it easier to obtain products from official Polygon dealers.
Various website developments for Polygon were built using scalable code, ensuring the website loads quickly. If future developments are needed, tools or features can be easily added.
The collaboration between Polygon and us demonstrates our ability to develop websites for multinational brands. We are ready to deliver websites for companies, from attractive catalogs to servers with enhanced security.
