About Dandapani

Dandapani is a Hindu priest, entrepreneur and a former monk of 10 years. He works with entrepreneurs and top athletes helping them understand and leverage their mind with tools and teachings that have been used by Hindu monks of his tradition for thousands of years. Among his clients are companies such as Fortress Investment Group, ICONIQ, McKinsey, Red Ventures, Nike, AMEX, Bloomberg LP, and more.

We were approached by Dandapani to completely redevelop his website from a predesigned set of Adobe XD designs. Dandapani wanted an easy to use, responsive and flexible WordPress theme that would be easy to manage and allow his team to deploy pages easily without the need of contacting a developer. The website should showcase his products and allow an easy way to subscribe to his updates.

What We Did

Due to the amount of reusable design elements that were apparent in the XD design, we started off this project by creating a number of global components with the Bootstrap framework that could be used in a variety of pages throughout the Dandapani website. We developed a user friendly backend and page builder so Dandapani and his team could easily edit and add new pages whenever they wanted without the need for extra development work.

Since this website was a re-design, and complete re-structure, we had to be extremely careful that Dandapani’s rankings were not affected once the redevelopment was complete. We built on top of the pre-existing database to avoid any SEO issues and integrated his old pages and blog posts into the new design. We also implemented a cookie based subscription modal and built a custom product block that could be deployed on any page of the website to easily promote the website’s products.
