Project Overview
Complete Website Migration, Ongoing Technical Management and Support for a Leading Women’s Support Charity
Accessible Digital Platform for a Community Womens Centre
This project focused on delivering a stable, secure and easy to manage WordPress environment for Shama Womens Centre, supporting their work with women in the local community. Our role included a full website migration, improving the technical structure, optimising performance, and implementing a reliable hosting and server setup. We prioritised clear navigation, simple content management for the team, and a fast, dependable experience that allows staff to focus on service delivery rather than technical challenges. Ongoing support ensures the platform remains updated, safe, and ready for future growth.
