Gather the group's websites without blurring the brands

When several companies and brands coexist in the same group, the digital environment often grows with them. Different CMS, technologies, and working methods make the web harder to manage and develop. We help groups create a common digital structure where companies can share technology and functionality, while each brand retains its own identity.

Does this seem familiar?

When a corporate group grows through new companies, brands, and acquisitions, the number of websites, systems, and working methods often increases as well. Each solution may work well on its own, but together they become harder to overview, manage, and develop. Here are some challenges we often encounter in groups.

Maintenance

Several different CMS and technologies

Every company acquisition or renovation has added yet another system. No individual solution needs to be wrong, but together they become difficult to both maintain and oversee.

UX:UI

No red thread between the brands

Visitors moving between the companies in the group encounter different structures and digital experiences. The brands should of course retain their own identity, but without a unified foundation, the group risks being perceived as more fragmented than it needs to be.

Lucide User Cog

Time-consuming work for the editors

The same news, price changes, or legal text may need to be updated in several places and in various systems. This creates unnecessary duplication of work and makes it harder to ensure that the information is updated everywhere.

Scalability

Difficult to scale when the corporate group grows

When a new company is acquired or a new brand is to be launched, the work often starts over from scratch. Without a common technical foundation, each new website risks becoming yet another system to manage.

Industrireklam and Weland

The companies within the Weland Group worked in different CMS, which led to fragmented structures and inefficient workflows. At the same time, the companies had different needs and graphic profiles that needed to be accommodated even in a common solution.

The solution landed in two tracks. The first is Weland Light, a common Umbraco template for companies with similar needs. Changes in the template are rolled out to all websites, and new sites can be built faster as more companies join the platform. The other track is custom sites for companies with their own brands or more specific requirements. The collaboration has also grown into an ongoing partnership around the digital development of the Weland Group.

Four people are sitting in an office space.

Atle

Atle had four separate websites on different platforms for its independent fund managers, which made the digital environment harder to maintain and develop. We consolidated the websites into a unified Umbraco solution where the managers can share structure and unified information, while each brand retains its own identity and content.

The solution is also built to grow as new fund managers join Atle.

Wismo Automotive

Wismo Automotive needed to manage over 90 dealer websites while the existing solution in Umbraco 7 had reached the end of its lifespan.

We built a new solution in Umbraco Cloud where central information can be managed collectively and updated across all sites, while each dealer has the opportunity to customize their own content.

A unified foundation without everything needing to look the same

Collecting the group's websites is not about all companies having the same site. It's about avoiding the need to build and maintain the same functionality multiple times. With a common technical foundation, companies can share things like structure, components, integrations, and functionality, while each brand retains its own graphic profile and content. Common updates can be made centrally, and new companies can be connected without each website needing to be built from scratch.

We see examples of this at both Atle and Weland, where several brands are gathered in the same technical structure but still get to be different brands. For the group, this means better control, more efficient management, and a digital structure that is easier to scale as the business grows.

Mattias Lyck

We have helped several corporations consolidate websites and brands into a common structure. The important thing is not that everything looks the same, but to find the right areas to share. When technology, functionality, and management can be combined in a smart way, it becomes easier to both develop existing websites and add new companies as the corporation grows.

Therefore, you should stop stressing about your AI ranking.

The question arises everywhere: “How do we rank in ChatGPT?” It's a good question because AI search is starting to become an important channel for digital marketing and no one wants to risk falling behind. But before you hire someone who promises to “optimize your AI ranking,” you need to know something. There is no real ranking.

When do organizations need to rebuild or redesign their website?

Many organizations use their website for many years without major changes. This is rarely a problem in itself – a website does not need to be rebuilt just because it is old. The problem arises when the technology, content, or visitors' needs have changed more than the website has managed to keep up. It is not always easy to see where the line is between "this we can fix" and "this requires us to rebuild from scratch." Here are four signs worth taking seriously.

Where the ridge meets the sea – the story of Norrvikens trädgårdar

There are places that do something to you even before you understand why. Norrvikens trädgårdar on the Bjäre Peninsula is one such place. Here, where Hallandsåsen meets the sea and a favorable microclimate allows the impossible to bloom, a man's vision has lived on for over a hundred years; through storms, crop failures, changes of ownership, and a period of decline that almost became the end – but it did not.

Common problems on large websites and how they can be solved

The larger a website grows, the harder it becomes to manage – both for those who visit it and those who work on it every day. What was once a clear structure with a few sections becomes, over time, hundreds of pages, countless subcategories, and content that has been added in batches over several years without a common plan. The result is rarely noticeable all at once; instead, it sneaks in until one day the visitor can no longer find what they are looking for, while the editor no longer knows where something should be. Now we will go through some of the most common problems on large websites and what usually tends to solve them.

That is why many organizations choose to switch CMS

A CMS, a content management system, is the tool an organization uses to publish and update content on its website. Most organizations chose their CMS a long time ago (often five, ten, or fifteen years ago) and have since built upon it year after year. Over time, it becomes harder to live with the choice one once made. Licenses become more expensive, editors find it increasingly difficult to work in the system, and what once felt flexible starts to feel like a hindrance. Let’s go through some of the most common reasons organizations choose to switch CMS and what they often want to achieve with the change.

What is required of a good IR website?

Trust is what determines how a publicly traded company is perceived by investors, analysts, and shareholders. Much of that trust is built or lost on the web. An IR website (Investor Relations) is the place where investors, analysts, and shareholders turn when they want to understand how the company is doing and where it is headed. For a publicly traded company, the website is not just a communication channel; it is part of how the company fulfills its information obligation to the market. If an IR website is difficult to navigate or lacks the right information, it costs more trust than one might think. In this blog post, we will therefore go through what an IR website actually needs to contain and what distinguishes a good IR website from one that is just there out of obligation.

Ad copy that converts: what actually makes a difference

Most people who want to improve their ads start off wrong. They rewrite headlines, change images, test new CTAs. And sure, that can have an effect, but that's rarely where the big difference lies. When an ad doesn't convert, it's often because something in the chain after the click isn't working. The ad is just the beginning. This is what actually determines whether an ad converts.

    Frequently asked questions about corporate websites

    It doesn't have to happen all at once. A unified structure can be built to allow companies to join gradually. How the transition is best made depends on what the group's existing websites and systems look like, which we will map out together before we set the plan.

    On the contrary, the ability to maintain each brand's identity is an important part of the solution. A unified technical foundation does not mean that all websites need to look the same. Structure and functionality can be shared while the companies retain their own graphic profile and their own content.

    The starting point is what creates the most value to gather. We therefore begin by mapping the existing environment and identifying what should be unified, what needs to be unique, and how any potential consolidation can be best implemented.

    It depends on what your current structure looks like. The benefit lies primarily in the fact that unified elements do not need to be handled separately on each website. For example, at Weland, changes in the unified template can be rolled out to multiple websites, which reduces the need to do the same work multiple times.

    Absolutely! One of the major advantages of a unified and scalable structure is that it can be built to grow together with the corporation. When a new company or brand is added, there is already a technical foundation to build from, instead of each new website needing to start from scratch.

    Not at all. We can create a common foundation for example components, functionality, and technology, while each brand has space for its own visual identity. Exactly what should be common and what should be unique is determined based on the group's needs.
