Modular AEM Components Upgrade for B2B Platforms | Flexible CMS Experience
Project Background
To enhance the digital experience for global buyers, a leading B2B trading platform initiated a modular upgrade of its homepage AEM components. This optimization focuses on improving information hierarchy and interaction flow, ensuring a clearer structure while achieving more precise digital marketing conversions alongside stronger brand positioning.
With the professional support of Leads Technologies, the platform not only redesigned its visual interface but also expanded the component framework of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). The project introduced an advanced modular architecture, adding and optimizing a total of 14 core components, providing the marketing team with exceptional flexibility in content management while simultaneously improving the overall user experience.

Subtle hover effects and visual cues increased user engagement and exploration.
2. Upgraded search experience
