Case Study:

Seagate Design Refresh and

Template Development

Seagate is the worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of hard disc drives and storage solutions, providing products for a wide-range of applications, including Enterprise, Desktop, Mobile Computing, Consumer Electronics and Branded Solutions. With the continual introduction of new products and solutions, and expansion into new industries and applications, Seagate has a critical need for far-reaching web strategies and a robust, scalable platform for growth.

When Seagate wanted to optimize their web site to achieve more efficient maintenance, greater scalability and improved user experience, they turned to AtreNet.

AtreNet engineers developed new HTML/CSS for all pages of Seagate.com in order to provide consistency and standards compliance. AtreNet creative teams developed new designs and navigation strategies for all top level pages of Seagate.com, as well as application UI and Portal framework pages. All design strategies and implementation best practices were carefully documented in order to maintain brand consistency and provide clear standards for development moving forward. AtreNet kept an eye to future-proofing and globalization in all phases of development, ensuring a scalable and extensible infrastructure.

The Challenge

  • Seagate.com was burdened by non standards-compliant code, hindering effective maintenance and development
  • Top level pages within Seagate.com were not optimally presenting Seagate’s offerings
  • Online application interfaces did not reflect design standards
  • Designs and implementation did not support Seagate’s localization requirements

The Solution


  • Once all templates and supporting components at work on Seagate.com were identified, AtreNet developed entirely new HTML, CSS and JavaScript to replicate and refine existing design standards, while bringing consistency to code, optimizing the template strategy, and elevating the code to current best practices and XHTML1.0 Strict compliance
  • AtreNet developed innovative new designs and navigational strategies for the home page and all top level pages of Seagate.com
  • AtreNet developed designs and standards for Seagate’s Partner Portal and online Special Pricing Application, extensible to Seagate’s larger family of extranets, hosted applications and campaigns
  • All design strategies were documented in detailed standards guides to ensure consistency for development moving forward, as well as providing guidelines for Seagate vendors
  • All designs accommodated the needs for localization in multiple languages, including western, double-byte and right-to-left languages
