Company overview
A professional wrestling company wanted to revamp its web presence, social media presence and drive more user engagements. The client wanted a new look and feel for the website along with enhancing abilities to engage more users and expand its reach.
Objective
The goal was to have an integrated omnichannel experience across the web, mobile apps, and TV apps, creating an intuitive user experience and enhancing fans’ engagement in the process. Additionally, they wanted to increase the number of paid user subscriptions and wanted to bring in live feeds from social media.

Building the Foundation to Deliver Omnichannel Experience
Ameex’s Digital Strategists, Drupal Consultants and Senior Architects built a solid digital architecture keeping three main factors in mind.
- Technical Feasibility
- Extendibility
- Ease of content management
Ameex also needed to consider third-party video streaming and social media live feeds—both of these were going to be critical to the site’s continued success, but both needed to be as light as possible, minimizing any load on the server without compromising features or content.
- Modules were reduced by careful optimization. Significant reduction in the website load resulting in page loading in less than 3 seconds
- Keeping the complex ecommerce needs of the client in mind, Drupal Commerce was suggested for its robust custom framework- with extensive Community Support
- Three different layouts were built to improve workflows and deliver better user experience
- Identified and removed all vulnerable modules
- PCI Compliant Architecture - PCI audit - Zero vulnerability
- Ameex has custom built Ooyala integration into Drupal which supports new V4 Ooyala version across all browsers
