New Functionality Added

Visually appealing and fast-loading CMS website.

In response to the needs of Lending Gurus, we delivered a comprehensive and tailored solution designed to enhance their online presence and streamline user engagement. Our WordPress development team created a series of essential CMS pages, including Home, Our Products and Services Listing, Our Products and Services Detail, Contact Us, About Us, FAQs, Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Help & Support, a Search Page, and a 404 Page. This structure ensured users could easily navigate the site and access vital information about Lending Gurus’ offerings.

To ensure a cohesive and appealing design, we established an environment setup and style guide that maintained consistency throughout the website. Key features included an engaging Header Banner that captures user attention, a Unique Selling Propositions (USP) section highlighting what sets Lending Gurus apart, and visually appealing card components for effectively presenting services. The FAQ section was crafted to address common client inquiries, while a dedicated logo section built credibility by showcasing partnerships.

We also designed versatile image and description sections to highlight products, strategically placed Call to Action (CTA) sections to encourage user interaction, and a Testimonials section to showcase positive client feedback. The footer was thoughtfully created to provide essential company information, including the Company Name & Description, Our Journey, Our Planning and Targets, Our Team & Experience, and Our Clients & Partners.

We integrated several third-party APIs, plugins, and modules to enhance the website’s functionality further. These included Yoast SEO for optimizing search engine visibility, Responsive Block Control to manage visibility based on screen width, and Contact Form 7 for facilitating user inquiries. Additionally, we utilized the Advanced Tabs Gutenberg Block for organized content presentation and the Addweb Slider Block for dynamic visual displays.

The entire website was hosted on WordPress.com, ensuring a reliable and scalable platform for Lending Gurus. This comprehensive solution improved user experience and positioned Lending Gurus as a leading resource for businesses seeking financing options, empowering them to serve their clients better.

In Phase 2 of the project, our Salesforce developers implemented a custom and seamless integration between WordPress and Salesforce to address our client’s need for real-time data synchronization. The solution focused on automating lead management and conversion workflows by synchronizing customer data from WordPress into Salesforce. This integration streamlined the process and enhanced the client’s CRM capabilities, ensuring a more efficient and error-free operation.

Robust features of our Salesforce integration.

Salesforce REST API Integration

This API allowed us to handle authentication securely, transfer data, and ensure that updates in one platform were reflected immediately in the other.

Custom Lead Flow for Conversion

We created a custom flow in Salesforce using Flow Builder, which automates converting a lead into an account, contact, and opportunity.

Custom Objects and Fields

Custom objects and fields were set up in Salesforce to manage lead data, application details, and user engagement from WordPress, ensuring proper categorization and easy access for the sales team.

Advanced Apex Logic

For complex data transformations and advanced logic during the integration process, We used Salesforce’s Apex to automate complex tasks and apply business rules, ensuring data integrity and efficient workflow management.

OAuth 2.0 Authentication

We implemented OAuth 2.0 for authentication. This industry-standard security protocol safeguarded data exchanges and handled sensitive customer information securely.

Integration Tools and Monitoring

Middleware tools like Postman and Salesforce’s debugging features were used to test API calls and monitor the integration, ensuring smooth data flow.

Dashboard Integration

A custom Salesforce Lightning dashboard was created to display incoming lead data from WordPress in real time, ensuring the sales team could quickly assess new leads and take immediate action.

Custom Object and List Views

To ensure that all synced data was easily accessible, we customized list views and page layouts within Salesforce, intuitively displaying the relevant information.

Data Validation Alerts

Validation messages were integrated into the Salesforce Lightning interface to notify users of any data mismatches or missing fields, ensuring no lead data was overlooked or misinterpreted.
