Overview
Organization
DEG Engineering
A Calgary-based engineering firm specializing in instrumentation, controls, and electrical engineering.
Industry
Oil and Gas Engineering Services
Delivering technical expertise to clients across a growing North American market.
Challenge
An Outdated Digital Presence
The existing website no longer reflected the firm’s expertise, professional identity, or growth objectives.
Solution
WordPress Website Modernization
Combining responsive design, clearer navigation, branding alignment, and simpler content management.
Challenge
Keeping Facility Bookings Reliable Without Developer Support
The association’s recurring booking platform was experiencing double bookings, incorrect time calculations, booking creation issues, and unwanted notifications. These problems affected a system that played an important role in everyday facility operations.
The original plugin developer had also ended support for the product, raising concerns about future maintenance. The association needed a way to address the technical issues while preserving the booking workflows its operations depended on.
Solution
Connecting Brand, Content, and User Experience
One Piece IT began with discovery and close collaboration with DEG’s leadership. The team reviewed content, branding assets, imagery, and site structure before rebuilding the website in WordPress. Ongoing reviews helped align the design and functionality with the company’s business goals and operational needs.
Modernize Design and Navigation
Created a full-width, responsive design with clearer visual hierarchy and sticky navigation. Reorganized content gave visitors more direct pathways to explore DEG’s services and capabilities across desktop and mobile devices.
Expand Useful Website Content
Added a News section with reusable article templates, employee access through SharePoint, and a Health and Safety page. Privacy, terms, accessibility, and cookie information rounded out the website’s supporting content.
Simplify Ongoing Management
Rebuilt the website in WordPress with reusable layouts and templates to support routine updates. Branding reviews and consolidated website resources helped create a consistent presentation and a more organized approach to administration.
Outcome
A Stronger Platform for Growth and Recruitment
The completed website gave DEG Engineering a modern digital presence that better reflected its expertise and professionalism. Clearer navigation and stronger content organization made services and company information easier to explore, while the transition to a .com presence supported its growing U.S. customer base.
The refreshed site also strengthened the company’s employer presentation, giving prospective employees easier access to workplace and health and safety information. Behind the scenes, WordPress and reusable templates simplified content updates and reduced the effort required to maintain a consistent website.
