A Site Structure That Serves Executives and Technical Buyers at Once

Two very different people have to agree before a deal like this closes. The executive wants to know what it costs, what it fixes and how much of their team's time it gives back. The IT director wants API documentation, integration detail and compliance answers. Put both on the same page and one of them is always in the other's way. We restructured the site so each gets the depth they need on their own path, and both paths end in the same conversation.

The Problem

Every visitor was being handed the same page. An executive scanning for the business case had to wade through technical specification before reaching anything they could act on, and a technical evaluator doing due diligence found marketing language where they needed detail.

Neither audience can be dropped. The executive signs the contract, but the IT director can quietly veto the whole thing by saying it will not integrate. If the site cannot answer both, the answering falls to the sales team on a call — which slows every deal down and means the depth only reaches people who ask for it.

The instinct is usually to compromise: add a bit of technical detail to the main page, keep it vague enough not to scare the executive. That version satisfies nobody.

What We Built

Service pages written for the person approving the spend.
Separate technical detail pages for the people evaluating it.
A quiet link on each service page for technical readers.
One consistent destination for both paths: a conversation.
A dedicated page for the Connect™ platform and its integrations.
Written documentation of the structure and the reasoning behind it.

What Changed

  • An executive can read a service page start to finish and know whether to take the next step, without reading an API specification first.
  • A technical evaluator can get to integration, architecture and compliance detail on their own, without booking a call to ask for it.
  • Neither audience blocks the other, because they are no longer competing for the same paragraph.
  • Visitors sort themselves. The site does the qualifying that sales used to do on the first call.
  • Sales knows exactly which page to send which person to, which makes follow-up shorter.

What This Could Do in Your Business

Designing for a decision with more than one decision-maker — the normal situation in any considered B2B purchase.
Giving technical evaluators enough depth to self-serve, so your team stops being the bottleneck for basic questions.
Adding depth for specialists without cluttering the path everyone else is on.
A structure that can absorb new services and new technical detail later without the navigation falling apart.

The Two People You Have to Convince

Same deal, completely different questions

Once you accept that these are two different readers with two different jobs, the design problem stops being “what tone should the site have?” and becomes “which reader is this page for, and where does the other one go?”

The executive

Reading to decide whether this is worth a meeting. Wants the outcome first: what it costs, what it saves, how much of their team's time it hands back.

  • Plain language, no acronyms
  • The problem named before the solution
  • A next step that costs them nothing to take
The technical evaluator

Reading to find the reason this will not work. Wants specifics, and treats a page with no specifics as a page with something to hide.

  • Integration and API detail
  • Architecture and compliance answers
  • Confirmation it works with what they already run
The decision that made it work

Both readers start in the same place — the service page — but the technical reader gets a quiet, clearly-labeled link out to the detail they came for. Nobody is asked to choose an audience at the front door, and nobody has to scroll past two thousand words written for somebody else.

The Capability Behind This Project

If any of that sounded like your business, this is the service it falls under.

Do two different people have to say yes before you win a deal?

How We Ran It

The delivery detail: the three-tier funnel, the four phases, the route structure and what was handed over.

The Three-Tier Funnel

Top, middle and bottom, each with a defined reader
1
Top of funnel — executives, CFOs, business owners
Benefit-led headlines, plain language, the buyer's own pain named first. Outcomes rather than mechanisms: save money, save time, it gets done right. Covers the 9 service pages plus the home and about pages.
2
Middle of funnel — IT directors and technical evaluators
6 technical pages carrying specifications, API documentation, integration detail and compliance information. Discoverable from every service page, but never in the way of the sales message.
3
Bottom of funnel — everyone
Consultation forms, phone numbers and clear calls to action placed so that whichever path a visitor took, the next step is the same one.

The Four Phases

How the structure was designed and built

Phase 1 — map the buyer journey

Mapped the route from first visit to conversion, identifying where each stakeholder enters and where each one drops out. That produced the three-tier structure: an executive entry point at the top, a technical entry point in the middle, one shared destination at the bottom.

Phase 2 — build the executive entry point

Service pages designed as the primary entry point, focused on outcomes, with navigation that lets visitors self-select rather than being routed. Subtle “For IT Teams” links create the second path without disturbing the first.

Key design decision

Both buyer types start at the same place. The split happens by choice, not by a landing-page fork that forces someone to categorize themselves before they know what you sell.

Phase 3 — build the technical path

Dedicated technical specification pages reachable from the “For IT Teams” links, carrying API documentation, integration detail, architecture specification and compliance information.

Route structure

Nested routes: /services/{service}/technical. A clear URL hierarchy that reads correctly to both search engines and humans.

Navigation flow

Links placed in hero sections where a technical reader looks first, understated enough that other readers pass over them.

Phase 4 — converge the paths

Conversion points designed to work for both readers, placed throughout the structure so that whichever route a visitor took, they arrive somewhere they can act.

The underlying point

Different stakeholders evaluate differently, but they all have to end up in the same place: a sales conversation. Splitting the paths only helps if they converge again.

Implementation Detail

Routes, components and search
Route structure

Nested routes for the technical pages: /services/{service}/technical. Each service page links to its own deep-dive, so the URL itself communicates the relationship.

Component architecture

Reusable Blade components for specification cards, integration tables and API documentation sections, so every technical page is consistent by default.

Search visibility

Sitemap generator updated to include every technical page with weighted priorities — 0.7 for technical pages, 0.8 for the main service pages.

Design consistency

Shared styling across the technical pages, with sticky navigation for long documents, table-based specifications and breadcrumbs.
