Project details
Sites: https://bbdc.org and https://diabetesquest.ca
Audience: researchers, health professionals, government, general public, with a mission of advancing diabetes research, education, and patient care.
Objective: To make the websites more user-friendly, relevant, up-to-date and integrate membership and members listing into a unified WordPress platform by redeveloping 3 separate membership administration panels.
Work: The website was revamped to make content easier to manipulate in the backend and to make the front end and interface design more user-friendly. Wow migrated the backend from another CMS and custom registration systems into WordPress, redesigned both websites so that they were more consistent with the global UofT Faculty of Medicine brand.
Content was also migrated over, and new content commissioned. The backend system was made more functionally integrated for members, consolidating three platforms into one. Mailchimp email templates were also set up, along with website hosting, backup strategy, and caching. Web hosting on our Canadian server as well as support is included in this project, as additional fees.
Team: These projects were completed with a team comprised of a project manager, web designer, web developers, graphic designers, and content editors/writers.
Timeline: 4 months
Results: BBDC staff are very pleased with the single login to manage their website and both membership lists. Year-over-year growth for the website has increased user access by 36.57% (21,572 vs 15,795) and the number of page views by 30.82% (48,930 vs 37,402). As well, the SEO benefits of our implemented WordPress solution has yielded an increase of 25.75% (13,679 vs 10,878) from organic search.
