Looking for a Digital Agency with a proven record of Industrial and B2B website design?
You’ve found it!
The Internet on mobile is the fastest growing engagement channel for brands, companies and industry across Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong & Australia. The recent pandemic has transformed organizations’ websites into a primary lead source for most B2B and many B2C companies.
Your website, on mobile, is the all-important 1st touch-point for your stakeholders. As a manufacturing company, or indeed as an organization of any kind, a poorly designed website directly reduces the scope of your inbound inquiries, and causes long-term damage to your credibility. Failing to invest in an effective website is one of the worst mistakes organizations make, and yet it’s so easily avoidable!
Whether you’re aiming to redesign your organization’s website, or looking to launch an entirely new one, we’re here to help you with:
- Planning your website development strategy
- Designing your website for engagement
- Providing content for credibility
- Web development for security, scale and success
Our team has successfully designed and developed websites for regionally and globally recognized companies such as Dunlop, Heinz-Kraft, True, Sumitomo Heavy Industry, and others,
We look forward to working with you to support the successful launch of your next website.
Dunlop is the global leader in tires. We hired Vimi to help us with our Thai website. They delivered the project within the agreed budget & schedule. We’re very happy with the quality of support & service the Vimi team provides us

Building a successful website is the process of orchestrating four primary efforts that together deliver a single comprehensive solution:
- Strategy
- Design
- Content
- Technology
We have a proven track record of working with corporations, manufacturers and NGOs to deliver best-in-class websites and applications, and we’ll support you every step of the way towards the successful launch of yours!
Planning Your Website Development Strategy
Identifying how your website best supports your organization’s marketing and operational needs, while delivering optimal customer experiences to all your stakeholders, is the crucial first step in guaranteeing it is ultimately successful. We’ll help you review your organization’s needs and advise how your site can best address concerns from all relevant parties.
Goal sets you can define for your website typically fall under these broad categories:
- Providing information, building awareness, and establishing brand credibility.
- Collecting sales leads and other forms of stakeholder inquiries.
- Providing operational and customer support in a self-serve, or semi self-serve model.
- Generating online sales.
Designing Your Website for Engagement
In a post-pandemic world the design of your website is most likely to define the first impression people will have of your organization. This is more than just common wisdom – Psychologists have proven that 80-85% of our perception, learning and cognition are mediated through vision.
Design paradigms are typically considered across these two dimensions:
- User Experience – How well your data is presented and how easy it is to interact with.
- User Interface – The visual appeal of your website’s pages and how well they embody your corporate identity.
We’ll ensure your website design establishes your organization’s credibility from the very first second your audience sees it and provides an optimal customer experience throughout the time they spend on your site.
Providing Content for Credibility
Providing your audience with timely, relevant, and well produced content is the most important element in building your online success over the long term, because it is the content you publish that serves as the basis for the communications you hope to establish with your audience. The text, images, and videos you share on your site go towards establishing your expertise in your field, and it serves you well to invest whatever effort is necessary to ensure the information you’re providing is credible, useful and up-to-date.
We have decades of experience in supporting organizations in identifying, mapping, and creating content that attracts desirable visitors and generates leads and revenue. Whether you’re looking for copywriting, translation, imagery or video, we’ve got you covered.
Web Development for Security, Scale and Success
Selecting a technological framework to support your organization’s current and future needs is an important concern for your new website, and can mean the difference between success and failure.
While content and design can easily be updated, swapping technologies is much harder to do – Whatever tech you choose, you’re likely to be using it for at least a couple of years, so it’s important to get it right.
We’ll help you identify the solutions best suited to your requirements, while advocating wherever possible for the use of free and open-source resources, in order to keep budgets in-check. Our goal is to provide you with access to solutions that balance security, scalability, and commercial competitiveness, in the best way possible.

How does it work?
Our process follows these principles:
Behavioral design
People love platforms that account for how they feel & think. These are the insights behavioral design provides.
User testing
The compass ensuring a platform’s utility
& appeal is the study of the people using it. The sooner this study is launched, the higher the returns it delivers.
Return on investment
A platform’s success is measured in relation to quantifiable goals. Failure can be useful, when we learn from it.
A project is only ever as good as the brief
One of the most important steps on your path to a new website is your project brief.
A good brief will help you avoid miscommunications, wasted $$$, and missed deadlines.
We know sometimes getting your thoughts in order is hard, so we’re happy to share with you the brief template our team uses, to help you get started. Remember – The more detailed your answers on the brief questions, the easier things will be for you later on…
Project Milestones
With a brief firmly in place, the next most determinant factor in your project’s success is the delivery process. Over the years we’ve been in operation we’ve developed a successful website delivery workflow, which we will follow for your project – These are the major milestones you can expect along the way, from start to finish:
1
Discovery and estimation
2
Website design
3
Website content
4
Website Development and Quality Assurance
5
Website Deployment and Delivery
6
Website warranty and maintenance
1
Discovery and estimation
Your website design and development project starts with 1-2 introductory consultations, during which we’ll receive your briefing. We want to understand your goals, scope, timeline and budget. Often at this step we’ll already try to offer some insights you may wish to consider for the benefit of your project. The purpose of this step is to provide you with a plan and proposal that allows you to evaluate working with us.
2
Website design
Once we have your requirements clarified we will prepare a detailed website brief that includes wireframes outlining the content and functionality for each of your pages. The design of your website will be derived from this written brief, which also facilitates smoother communications throughout the project.
3
Website content
In order to ensure your website addresses all your goals, we’ll help you prepare all your content well in advance. We’ll help you make sure you have the texts, visuals, and videos you need to effectively get your messaging across to your target audiences. This is one of the most important efforts in ensuring the successful launch of your website.
4
Website Development and Quality Assurance
Once you’re satisfied with your website’s proposed design, and have clarity about which content you’ll have on your site on the launch date, we will start coding up your website. As this process reaches its conclusion our quality assurance team will start testing the site for compliance with the project brief and approved content and design. When our internal team is satisfied, we will invite your team to review our work as well.
5
Website Deployment and Delivery
Once you confirm you are happy with your website, and that it matches the agreed design and scope-of-work, we’ll go ahead and push it live, either to your existing hosting provider, or to hosting we provide for you. We’ll also train your team on the use of your website’s systems. Congratulations!!! You now have a new website… : )
6
Website warranty and maintenance
We offer a 6-month bug fix warranty for the work we invested in building your website. Any bugs resulting from our work reported within 6 months of launching your website will be fixed at no cost.
Beyond your warranty you can also inquire about our support and maintenance packages which help guarantee your website and hosting receive the necessary updates and patches to keep your data safe and your website secure. You can also request that we manage your regular updates, provide content for your site, and build new features for you.

Who will you be working with?
Your Website Delivery Team
Your project team will be directed by one of our managing partners, who will remain cc’ed on your project’s communications. This helps us keep working teams accountable and ensures you’re treated according to our standards for quality and customer service.
Your website delivery team includes:
Project manager
Your Project Manager is the key person responsible for driving your project forward. They will have at least one weekly meeting with you, to share updates and receive feedback and guidance.
Information architects
Good information architecture makes it easier for your audience to find the information they need when browsing your site. Our managing partners, or a senior project manager, will help you arrange your website’s content so that it matches best practice conventions and is easy for your audience to navigate.
UX / UI Designers
Up to 85% of our experience is mediated by vision. The look and feel of your website is largely responsible for the impression your audience will have of your brands and company. Our design team will work with you to ensure your website establishes your company’s reputation as a credible and professional leader in your industry, while remaining faithful to your corporate image guidelines.
Copywriter
When you hire us to provide the content for your corporate website, our copywriting team will take responsibility for preparing all the text for your website. Should your site also require video and other forms of media, your project manager will facilitate the delivery of those materials as well.
If you’d like to hasten the delivery of your project, and don’t have a full-time copywriter as part of your organization, you can expect to get a much faster delivery when you leave content creation up to us.
Developers
Our development team has delivered hundreds of brand and corporate website projects in the 10+ years we’ve been in business. This working experience, coupled with our strict quality assurance processes, help to ensure your website is delivered on time, on budget, and according to plan.
The Vimi team gave us some great ideas & helped us present ourselves effectively to our audience. They’re detail oriented & easy to work with. We will work with them again & have recommended them to our contacts
