Gensler had recently completed a challenging redesign and restructuring of their website when they engaged with SolutionSet. To further communicate the Gensler brand, SolutionSet was named agency of record, and asked to sustain and extend this beautiful and highly-interactive site.
The Solution
Among the many enhancements to gensler.com: elements within Gensler's existing Flex-based website were not loading quickly, and the text styles and positioning of page elements were inconsistent, both of which were immediately addressed. SolutionSet collaborated with Gensler to refine and extend the Flex-based front end and strengthen the CMS built on the Symfony PHP framework. We also performed an audit of the existing code, discovering the causes of the slow speeds and design inconsistencies. Memcache was selected to speed the performance of the site throughout.
