Solution
KT&G USA engaged Web Loft Designs to improve their tobacco website by enhancing the user experience and creating a better lead generation for their specific target audiences of individuals and trade partners. Web Loft Designs developed the website to highlight the three brands of cigarettes offered in the US market and make CTAs for finding a store location, contacting KT&G for information about general inquiries or becoming a trade partner, and to review open employment opportunities and apply for a position. Web Loft Designs created a custom design and developed website using the WordPress platform and focused on a mobile-first audience as users are inclined to use their phone or tablet devices more often than a computer. Web Loft Designs also focused on creating a website that was ADA compliant by utilizing the Userway Accessibility Plugin that integrates directly with WordPress. KT&G USA also had a requirement that users must identify their age before accessing the content on their website. This was accomplished by using the custom version of the AgeVerify plugin for WordPress.
