Corporate website for a 150+ employee beauty cosmetics conglomerate, designed to unify multiple sub-brands under one digital presence and drive B2B growth, resulting in a 24% increase in sales.
Role
Care Group is a beauty cosmetics conglomerate with over 150 employees and multiple sub-companies operating under a single parent brand. They had an association meeting on the horizon and needed a website that could credibly represent the full scale of their organization: not just one brand, but the entire group, its leadership, and its capabilities.
The existing online presence did not reflect the company they had built. A conglomerate of this size needed a website that could generate B2B interest, showcase sub-brand depth, and handle job applications at volume, all within a design that communicated authority and scale.
Cenciss handled UI/UX design, full-stack development, and deployment with a hard deadline tied to the association meeting.
Information architecture was the first challenge. Care Group operated multiple distinct sub-companies, each with its own identity and service offering. The website had to present the group as a coherent whole while still giving each sub-company meaningful visibility. A flat structure would lose the depth; an overly complex one would confuse visitors trying to understand what Care Group actually did.
Navigation for a multi-brand group required more than a standard menu. Visitors needed to find specific sub-company information quickly without wading through top-level pages. A mega menu was the right pattern but had to be designed carefully to feel organized rather than overwhelming.
Highlighting the management team was a strategic requirement, not a standard about page. For B2B buyers in the cosmetics sector, leadership credibility matters. The profiles had to be substantive enough to build confidence without reading like a corporate brochure.
Job applications at the scale Care Group operated meant high submission volume. The system had to route applications appropriately across the group, notify the right HR personnel, and store submissions securely without relying on a third-party ATS.
The architecture was designed around the group-plus-sub-company model. The top-level site communicated the Care Group brand, scale, and capabilities. An interactive company directory used sub-company logos as entry points to dedicated brand pages, giving each subsidiary a proper presence without fragmenting the site structure.
The mega menu was built to give visitors immediate access to the full sub-company landscape, organized by category so users could navigate directly to what was relevant to them without scrolling through the homepage.
Management profiles were built with structured content sections covering background, expertise, and role within the group. The scripting and custom component work here required deliberate attention to layout to make profiles feel authoritative rather than templated.
The job application system was built with a custom form connected to a secure MongoDB database, with email notifications routed to the relevant HR contact based on the position and sub-company selected. The full application intake required no third-party tools and was manageable by the client team post-launch.
The entire platform was built on the MERN stack and deployed on a cloud environment ahead of the association meeting deadline.
Care Group launched with a website that matched the scale and ambition of the business. The interactive sub-company directory and mega menu made the group's breadth navigable and comprehensible for B2B visitors for the first time.
The B2B-focused content strategy and management team showcase drove direct commercial impact: a 24% increase in sales attributed to the improved digital presence and the impression it made at and following the association meeting.
The job application system handled submissions efficiently, routing them to the correct HR contacts without manual intervention. The platform was delivered on time, giving the client the asset they needed for their most important near-term business development opportunity.
