The challenge

One of the primary challenges that Tugboat Group faced in building the Rx Networks website was developing use cases that catered to both the highly technical software engineers and GNSS scientists, as well as middle managers who were responsible for managing these complex projects. The technical nature of the company's products and services required the Tugboat team to develop a deep understanding of GNSS technology, software engineering, and related technical jargon. This posed a significant challenge in communicating the company's value proposition and offerings in a way that would be easily understandable by both engineers and middle managers.

The Tugboat Group team had to engage in extensive research and collaboration with Rx Networks' team to develop a clear understanding of their products, services, and the complex technology behind them. This required a significant amount of effort, including several meetings and workshops, as well as thorough documentation and communication to ensure that the website accurately represented Rx Networks' technical expertise and offerings. Overall, the challenge of balancing technical accuracy with clear and concise communication was a critical aspect of building the Rx Networks website.

Content management background
Content Management

The decision to build the Rx Networks website on the Drupal framework was a strategic one that offered several benefits in terms of content management. Drupal is a powerful content management system (CMS) that enables website owners to manage and update their website's content easily. The platform offers a wide range of features and functionality that enable the creation of dynamic and engaging web pages that are optimized for search engines and mobile devices.

One of the main benefits of Drupal content management is its scalability. Drupal can handle large volumes of content and traffic, making it a suitable platform for companies that anticipate growth and expansion in the future. Additionally, Drupal offers robust security features that protect against hacking and data breaches, ensuring the safety and privacy of user data. Drupal's modular architecture enables the Tugboat team to add custom functionality and features to the website quickly and easily as required.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
