Client Overview
Mikhulu, a Non-Profit organization dedicated to making a positive impact in the community, faced a challenge with their outdated WIX website. To enhance their online presence and improve user experience, they decided to revamp their website. Opting for WordPress as their Content Management System (CMS) of choice, they sought the expertise of NSDigital Consulting and Surefire Communications.
Project Scope and Approach
Mikhulu approached NSDigital Consulting and Surefire Communications to redesign their website while retaining most of the existing design elements. NSDigital Consulting was tasked with building the new WordPress-based website, ensuring it was modern, user-friendly, and mobile-responsive. Simultaneously, Surefire Communications took charge of updating the website’s branding and content, aligning them with Mikhulu’s mission and vision.
Timeline
The project commenced before October 2021, with a clear vision of the website’s objectives and improvements. The teams collaborated efficiently to meet milestones, and after months of hard work and dedication, the project was finalized in April 2022.
Outcomes and Achievements
The successful collaboration between NSDigital Consulting and Surefire Communications resulted in an impressive transformation for Mikhulu. The new WordPress website proved to be a significant improvement over the outdated WIX site, offering a seamless browsing experience to visitors. The revamped design was fresh, modern, and aesthetically pleasing, complementing Mikhulu’s brand identity.
The user-friendly interface made it easier for Mikhulu’s audience to navigate through the site, access information, and engage with the organization’s initiatives. The improved content, overseen by Surefire Communications, effectively conveyed Mikhulu’s message, attracting more attention to their cause and inspiring potential donors and volunteers to get involved.
Ongoing Progress
As of the writing of this case study, Mikhulu continues to update and expand its website with more valuable content. The new website serves as a robust platform for the organization to share updates, success stories, and upcoming events, fostering a stronger bond with their audience and community.
Conclusion
