Chosen Solution
Our Tailored Web design package in order to implement a fully Content Managed site. It was decided to use WordPress to build the site, since this established and highly rated blogging application gave the level of functionality the client required and the means to organically grow the site in the future.
Brief
To produce a bespoke Web site to replace the client's current site which was dated and only had limited content management, with a totally new site with full content management and a blogging facility so that The Garden House staff could create posts and visitors could leave comments about those posts.
This creates more of a community feel to the site and encourages visitors to keep returning to read the latest news and to gain useful advice from fellow gardeners.
To this end we recommended using WordPress as the basis for the new site. As well as full content management it also gave the client the added functionality they required (calendar of events, dynamic language translations, displaying sponsors logos) via the many WordPress plug-ins that are available.
Since WordPress is Open Source Software it also means that development costs were kept to a minimum, an important consideration to a charity such as The Garden House.
