Project Requirements
We were tasked with redesigning and developing their previous site (built in Drupal) in a more modern, efficient, and easy to use system that is easy to update and maintain. Due to Drupal being an outdated content management system, it has many limitations and concerns that are fixed by newer CMS. One of the most significant concerns for using Drupal CMS, or content management system, is the lack of developers who specialize in the system, which leads to costly updates and outdated/vulnerabilities. Another large limitation is the difficulty of making custom page templates on this CMS, as well as updating existing pages.
We were honored to work with Wound Care Learning Network on their website redesign and development, and help them achieve their vision and goals shine with a new and modern CMS, or content management system.
Before / After
New Content Management System
We build all of our websites on the same content management system (WordPress) that was implemented for Wound Care Learning Network. WordPress CMS allows for Wound Care Learning Network to create new custom templates for their website without going through the design, development, and quality control process. This was a substantial improvement for Wound Care Learning Network’s marketing team as they needed the ability to develop and modify their page templates quickly and effectively (which was not possible through their old Drupal system).
Our WordPress websites all include an agile page builder, and intuitive interfaces that allows for quick and efficient updates without needing an entire design and development team. We also imported a massive template library, that helped Maillie seamlessly create, add, and alter pages to meet their wishes. Syndicate Marketing also implemented analytics that provide instant feedback to the company. These analytics can be used to make data driven decisions to help redevelop their pages to better match SEO trends and the current markets for the certified public accountant business.
