2 Months
Problems
Okelta technologies faced significant challenges due to following reasons.
- Current website was using a very old technology which was built in early 2000
- Responsiveness and Accessibility issues: The website lacked accessibility for certain devices because it was not built using responsiveness. Other accessibility concerns were not focused in this legacy website
- Outdated information. The website had outdated information.
- No options for content management: The legacy website didn’t have convenient options for content management
- Unattractive design: The legacy website didn’t focus on UX/UI best practices

- CMS System: A CMS system was implemented on the backend to enable a convenient option for content management
