Controlling the Water

The Water Control Corporation of Minnesota has been a trusted partner for commercial, institutional, and industrial water solutions since 1971.

When it comes to water, they engineer solutions to solve complicated problems.

Beyond a new website design, they called upon us to solve some complicated problems too.

Not only did it need to look modern and fresh, but it needed to deliver calculators and advanced algorithms to make selections from their catalogue of 12,000 model variables.

A Questionnaire to Right-size Your Equipment

The site centers around a questionnaire.

The conditional logic leads you through a set of data points.

Instant online tool for customized system designs and budget estimates for commercial water softeners.

Calculators to Get You Answers

Within the form flow are various calculators.

They help you get the answers you need for your next project.

Beyond that, they’re exceedingly easy for the WCC team to manage on the backend to enter the proper formulas.

Delivering Results with Auto Generation

Based on your answers, we use a set of calculations to query WCC’s master spreadsheet.

From it, it generates the right models, emails it to the customer and WCC’s engineers, and allows a perfect PDF generation.

Informing & Educating Users at Every Step with Solid Marketing Pages

Beyond the technological backbone of the site, the project also challenged us with taking a complex legacy site and making it feel intuitive and easy to navigate.

We leveraged a series of cornerstone content pages to route each major buyer persona.

The pages also feature quick navigation points to sift through the depth of content quickly.
