Arvesta, a key partner for Belgian farmers, needed a unified digital platform to manage over 40 websites efficiently, ensuring security, maintainability, user-friendliness, and rapid go-to-market capability for multiple brands.
We audited Arvesta’s sites to identify shared patterns, gathered requirements in a UX lab session, then used Sketch and React to create a reusable component-based system, replatforming to Contentful for improved content management and security.
The component library streamlined Arvesta’s website management, enabling 21 new product sites, ensuring consistent branding, and accelerating their digital presence.
Arvesta, a key partner for Belgian farmers and market gardeners, struggled to manage over 40 websites on different platforms, leading to outdated content, security vulnerabilities, and inconsistent user experiences. They needed a unified digital platform to ensure secure, maintainable, and user-friendly websites, alongside a rapid go-to-market capability for multiple brands.
Our team began with a UX audit to identify shared content and navigation patterns across Arvesta’s diverse sites. Despite different appearances and behaviors, all sites aimed to educate users on products, farming practices, and events. Through a UX lab session, we presented our findings to Arvesta, gathered detailed requirements, and aligned on project outcomes. To address their needs, we developed a component-based system using Sketch for design and React with Storybook for component implementation. This system ensured reusability and visual consistency across all brands. Additionally, we replatformed all sites to Contentful, enhancing content management and security.
The component library has revolutionized Arvesta’s website management, enabling a streamlined process for creating new sites. We have successfully rolled out 21 product sites to date. The flexible UI toolkit allows for rapid restyling of buttons, colors, typography, and logos, ensuring a consistent and optimal user experience across all brands. This approach has significantly accelerated Arvesta’s speed to market and improved overall digital presence.
