/ by Narayan N

As a Senior Project Manager I oversee many web development and projetc and their ongoing management of a WooCommerce website using the Divi theme, with a goal to optimize performance, maximize conversions, and ensure alignment with business goals for a supplier in the commercial and public building industry.

✅ PROJECT INITIATION & PLANNING

  1. Requirement Gathering
    • Conduct discovery sessions with stakeholders to understand their target audience (contractors, facility managers, designers, procurement leads).
    • Identify essential WooCommerce features: product categories (by building type/use), RFQ forms, spec sheet downloads, etc.
  2. Scope Definition
    • Define MVP: home page, product catalog, category filters, blog, contact page, company profile, compliance certifications, etc.
    • Create project timeline using Monday or Asana with clear milestones.
  3. Resource Allocation
    • Assign tasks to frontend developers, content writers, SEO specialists, QA testers.
    • Coordinate with external vendors for plugin development or hosting.

🌐 WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT USING DIVI & WOOCOMMERCE

  1. Theme Customization
    • Use Divi for modular design with pre-set layouts optimized for B2B navigation.
    • Ensure branding consistency (colors, typography, icons for construction/architectural visuals).
  2. WooCommerce Configuration
    • Product types: Standard + Request for Quote (RFQ) instead of direct checkout.
    • Organize products by industry verticals (e.g., “Solutions for Hospitals,” “For Restaurants”).
  3. Custom Plugin & Theme Compatibility
    • Test all custom functionalities (quotation forms, login for repeat buyers, downloadable specs).
    • Ensure updates don’t break compatibility; use a staging environment for testing.

🚀 PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION & SEO

  1. Technical Optimization
    • Compress images, lazy-load media, and use caching (WP Rocket or similar).
    • Monitor site speed (GTmetrix, Google PageSpeed Insights).
  2. SEO Implementation
    • Use Yoast SEO for schema, meta optimization.
    • Create siloed content strategy around keywords like “commercial flooring solutions,” “healthcare interior products,” etc.
  3. Analytics & Tracking
    • Install Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and conversion tracking (e.g., quote form submissions, product views).

📈 DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGY

  1. Content & Blog Strategy
    • Focus on long-tail content like “Choosing fire-rated wall panels for hospitals” or “Top lobby design trends for shopping malls.”
    • Add visual storytelling with case studies, installation images, downloadable guides.
  2. Google & Microsoft Ads
    • Campaigns focused on industries with urgent procurement needs (e.g., seasonal upgrades in schools, safety retrofits in transit hubs).
    • Retargeting ads for site visitors and abandoned RFQs.
  3. Email & Marketing Automation
    • Set up workflows for lead nurturing using Mailchimp or another email platform.
    • Segment by industry, job title, or past RFQ activity.

🔧 OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE

  1. Daily/Weekly Tasks
    • Check site performance, plugin updates, inventory sync.
    • Review Google Search Console for crawl errors or index issues.

    • Maintain documentation in Confluence for all third-party tools and configurations.

👥 COLLABORATION & STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT
