Wordpress Case Study

WordPress hosting solution for Cheshire West & Chester Council Adult & Community Learning

Transforming Digital Experiences for Cheshire West Council
A comprehensive WordPress redevelopment that improved accessibility, usability, and citizen engagement through inclusive design principles.
Flexible And Accessible Learning Resources

Cheshire West & Chester Council required a central, publicly accessible platform to store and distribute adult learning services information and resources.

Operating within a provider-based system, their adult learning provision is outsourced to multiple smaller providers, each needing seamless access to essential resources, policies, and procedures. At the same time, learners require up-to-date information about local providers.

With resources frequently updated, the solution needed to offer rapid access and easy in-house content management.
