Connecting The Dots (CTD): Full Website Revamp with WordPress, GSAP Animations, Calendly Integration & Strategic Brand Positioning for a Digital Growth Consultancy
AddWeb Solution delivered a complete website revamp for Connecting The Dots, a strategic e-commerce and digital growth consultancy serving manufacturing brands expanding into D2C, repositioning the brand from a service provider to a high-value strategic and operational partner. Built on WordPress with Bricks Builder and ACSS, enhanced with the GSAP animation library including a signature Vision Mission animation, and integrated with Calendly for seamless consultation booking, the new CTD website is designed to generate qualified leads across consulting, outsourced e-commerce management, marketing execution, training, and digital business transformation services.
The Business Needs
Understanding the Challenge of Repositioning a Consultancy from Service Provider to Strategic Growth Partner
Many people are familiar with the concept of a service provider. We all know what a service provider is. The Dots is where e-commerce strategy, marketing execution, operational coordination, and digital business transformation converge for manufacturing brands that are grappling with the complexity of moving into direct-to-consumer waters.
The website is the most important tool for generating leads and building a brand image of CTD as a commodity service provider or a strategic partner for a prospective client to consider engagement at a senior level for a consultancy of this caliber.
The current online presence wasn’t adequately conveying what CTD has to offer. It did not adequately reflect the breadth of its expertise or its planning and execution capacity using a multi-team approach, nor did it demonstrate its ability to bring about sustained business improvement for its clients.
There was an added complexity of the platform being bilingual. Each page, product listing, and content had to be correctly translated and correctly presented in both languages, and without causing a “disjointed or inconsistent experience” for visitors switching between the two languages.
The positioning was weak, the messaging was generic, and the overall experience was not indicative of the quality of work that CTD delivers—there was just no clear and compelling reason for manufacturing brands to choose CTD over any other digital agency/consultancy.
The business required a website that would achieve many things at once, build CTD’s reputation and credibility as a strategic partner, articulate its service offering in the areas of consulting, e-commerce management, marketing execution, training, and transformation, and proactively create qualified leads from manufacturing brands actively looking for a partner to coordinate their D2C growth.
The website also had to be designed with the ability to translate into Spanish, as CTD’s staff and clients are primarily Spanish-speaking.
Design and experience-wise, the new site had to stand out from all other agency websites and had to be both visually sophisticated, animated, and content-meaningful in order to create a sense of premium consultancy positioning to a senior business target audience.
About Our Client: JC Exposito, Owner of Connecting The Dots, Spain, engaged AddWeb Solution for a full website revamp that would transform CTD’s digital presence into a strategic lead generation and brand positioning asset, repositioning the consultancy as a high-value digital growth partner for manufacturing brands entering the D2C space.
Our Approach
Designing a Premium, Animated, and Lead-Generating Consultancy Site That Transforms Strategy into Quality Leads.
Once the Figma design system was given to AddWeb Solution, they went through a comprehensive review process to gain a solid understanding of the visual language, component structure, and animation needs before the development process started..
The entire design was created in Figma, which then needed to be implemented as a high-fidelity mockup in WordPress, based on Bricks Builder and ACSS, as they offer flexibility, performance, and control over the design.
The three primary development goals included brand position clarity, visual impact, and lead generation effectiveness.
Each page was designed with careful attention to the progression of content and a smart flow that took senior-level decision makers (manufacturing brand owners, ops directors, and marketing leaders) through CTD’s value proposition, its service, and its proof of experience and expertise in a logical, compelling sequence that developed their trust and sparked inquiry.
The website was developed using a mix of custom CSS and custom PHP code, with the addition of the GSAP animation library to add the sophistication the brand was looking for—the signature Vision Mission animation was developed and added to the site as the main part of the storytelling experience.
This animation aimed to clearly communicate CTD’s strategic philosophy and brand positioning in an entertaining, memorable manner that would have been missed by text and static imagery—and in a meaningful way to the users’ journey that would strengthen CTD’s high-end positioning.
Social sharing previews — important for a platform whose audience actively shares and discusses firearms catalog content across specialist communities.
We integrated Calendly straight to the site so that potential clients can book discovery calls with CTD without leaving the site or having to complete a complicated inquiry process.
This integration was rolled in as a fundamental conversion mechanism that minimizes the conflicts of interest and engagement for time-challenged senior decision-makers.
Cloudflare was set up for performance and security, and PHP and MySQL powered WordPress’s backend.
The website was designed to be WPML multilingual-ready, and as the client planned on implementing full multilingual functionality using the WPML plugin, the codebase and content structure would allow for easy expansion to other languages without having to rebuild the site.
The Solution
What Was Delivered
A Website That Finally Looks Like the Strategic Partner CTD Actually Is
The full ground-up revamp repositions CTD from “just another service provider” to a credible, high-value strategic and operational growth partner, the perception shift the brand needed to attract senior manufacturing decision-makers.
Design Fidelity That Doesn’t Cut Corners
Built on Bricks Builder and ACSS, the site translates the Figma design system pixel-for-pixel into a fast, maintainable WordPress build, so the premium vision never gets watered down in development.
A Brand Moment That Sticks in Memory
The signature Vision Mission animation gives CTD something most consultancy websites don’t have: a distinctive, memorable moment that communicates strategic philosophy in a way words alone can’t, making the brand instantly more memorable to prospects.
A Site That Feels as Premium as the Consultancy It Represents
GSAP animations woven throughout key sections give the website a level of polish and interactivity that immediately signals “this is not a generic agency” to a senior business audience evaluating credibility at a glance.
From Interest to Booked Call, Without Friction
Calendly integration means a prospect who’s convinced doesn’t have to fill out a form and wait; they can book a discovery call instantly, turning interest into pipeline before it cools off.
A Site Built to Convert, Not Just Inform

Every Service Speaking to the Right Buyer
Dedicated, strategically crafted pages for each service area, from consulting to ecommerce management to transformation, mean CTD can attract and convert the specific audience each offering is designed for, instead of one generic pitch for everyone.
Fast, Secure, and Built for a Senior Audience
Cloudflare configuration ensures the site loads quickly and stays protected, meeting the expectations of business decision-makers who won’t tolerate a slow or unreliable consultancy website.
Ready to Go Global Without a Rebuild
WPML multilingual readiness means CTD can expand into new language markets the moment it’s ready, without needing to rearchitect the site from scratch.
