ARC Scotland Websites

Summary

Mission

WheelHouse Software partnered with ARC Scotland to help them manage and improve their WordPress websites. ARC Scotland needed a solution that would enable them to make changes to their websites themselves, as the way the WordPress theme had been developed meant many elements were hard coded, which made it difficult for them to use the CMS functionality of WordPress.

Outcome

After working with WheelHouse Software, ARC Scotland now has a fully functional WordPress website that they can easily manage and update. This has resulted in significant cost savings for ARC Scotland as they no longer need to hire a developer for every small change they want to make to their website.

Result

The new WordPress website has allowed ARC Scotland to better connect with their community, providing them with up-to-date information on their services and events. ARC Scotland can now easily add new pages and update existing ones without the need for developer intervention. The website is now easier to navigate and provides a better user experience for visitors.

Services

WheelHouse Software provided ARC Scotland with ongoing website maintenance and support; this also involved the bespoke development of ARC's custom WordPress theme. The maintenance included updating WordPress plugins and addressing technical debt that prevented ARC Scotland from using the CMS functionality of WordPress. WheelHouse Software also provided training to ARC Scotland staff, enabling them to make changes to the website themselves.

Full Story

ARC Scotland, an organisation dedicated to helping people who need additional support and their families, had struggled to maintain and update their poorly maintained WordPress websites. The websites had hardcoded elements that made it difficult for ARC Scotland to make changes, resulting in costly developer fees for simple updates.

WheelHouse Software stepped in and provided ongoing website maintenance and support. They addressed the technical debt that prevented ARC Scotland from using the CMS functionality of WordPress and provided training to their staff, empowering them to make changes to the website themselves. The end result was a fully functional WordPress website that is now easier to navigate and provides a better user experience for visitors. ARC Scotland can now easily update and manage their website, saving significant costs and enabling them to better connect with their community. WheelHouse Software continues to provide ongoing maintenance and support, ensuring that the website remains up-to-date and fully functional.

WheelHouse continues to work with ARC Scotland to restore CMS functionality and make further improvements to more complex sections of the site. We are also working together to improve the flow of the training sections of their website and boost conversion rates with a small digital transformation project.
