WR Nash Portal

Freshy partnered with WR Nash, a division of HB Global, to redesign and modernize their company intranet. What began as a complete rebuild of WR Nash’s internal portal evolved into a large-scale initiative to unite all HB Global divisions under a single, secure, and efficient digital hub—designed to improve collaboration, streamline administration, and scale across multiple operating companies.

What we delivered

Rebuilt the WR Nash intranet from the ground up using Freshy’s Beaver Builder stencil and custom child theme for a flexible, future-proof foundation. We upgraded the platform to PHP 8+, optimized code, and refined backend processes to ensure faster load times and long-term maintainability.

Introduced a new landing page and modular interface for intuitive navigation and better accessibility across devices. We optimized complex Gravity Forms and GravityFlow configurations to improve reliability and internal efficiency.

Performed a full infrastructure and codebase audit, eliminating redundancies and strengthening site performance.

Through Freshy+, the HB Global sites benefit from continuous optimization, uptime monitoring, and secure plugin and theme updates.
