Delivery
We used WordPress as the CMS and built a bespoke portal and dashboard. Separating content types and creating custom fields throughout, we were able to provide the team with a system that could be easily managed, updated and maintained. Our mobile-first approach ensured the website worked perfectly across devices and we ensured accessibility guidelines were implemented throughout.
As well as building the website, we helped the team choose and utilise a new CRM. Created automations for a variety of marketing tasks and set up memberships and payment systems to provide a revenue stream for the organisation.
