The need for website renewal arose from a brand overhaul
We are Ropo’s long-term partner in various digital solutions. The need for the latest customized website renewal emerged from Ropo’s rebranding, which also led to the site being updated to align with their growth strategy, service offerings, and new visual identity.
The revamped brand emphasizes a modern and unique look as well as Ropo’s goal of simplifying financial management for businesses. The new website was designed to meet the expectations of modern users and to offer a seamless user experience that aligns with Ropo’s brand and business objectives. The website had to be not only visually appealing but also technically advanced and easily updatable to effectively serve a growing customer base.
High-quality implementation is the result of collaboration
In the website renewal project, Ropo’s partner for visual design was the branding agency Bellbird. Hurja was responsible for the technical implementation. The collaboration resulted in a site that not only looks good but also functions flawlessly and supports Ropo’s long-term growth and development goals.
Technical features and improvements of the site
The website renewal was implemented using the latest version of Sage, providing a modern and modular development environment. The site is compatible with PHP 8+, ensuring its performance and future compatibility.
The website consists of four different sites, all sharing the same theme. The color schemes and settings are site-specific, allowing for the management of a unified overall appearance while making individual customizations possible. This structure enables the client to modify almost all content independently, with the exception of the theme translation phrases which are hardcoded.
The content management system was updated from the Classic Editor to the Gutenberg editor, allowing for more flexible content management and customization. The Gutenberg editor includes all of the default blocks of WordPress, and additionally, we created 16 custom blocks. The custom blocks have dynamic features, such as a progress bar that progresses from zero to a specified percentage as the user scrolls over it.
The number of plugins was reduced by half compared to the previous version, improving the site’s performance and manageability. Powerful caching techniques such as WP Rocket and Redis cache, along with optimized webp images, ensure a fast and smooth user experience. The use of caches reduces server load and improves page load speeds.
Hurja took care of installing Cookiebot for cookie management. Cookiebot helps manage site cookies and tracking tools, and provides users with a banner for cookie consent. This solution helps ensure compliance with data protection regulations and offers users a safe and reliable experience.
Hurja was also responsible for installing Tag Manager for analytics.
Technical solutions support Ropo’s long-term growth goals and ensure that the new website is both visually appealing and technically advanced, standing the test of time.

The clear and logical structure of the sites we have implemented makes it easier for users to navigate and quickly find essential information, and integrations with knowledge bases speed up maintenance and automate site management, enhancing Ropo’s overall processes.
