The ADL project began in November 2012 and went live on April 1, 2013.

The main objectives of the site were:

• Joomla 1.5 was at end of life, so decision was made to migrate to WordPress for easier site administration by librarians, rather than migrate to Joomla 2.5
• Design a UX (user experience) that simplifies access to key content
• Fresh, contemporary look with rotating header graphics to advertise important events
• Review and refresh content

Solution

Library staff selected a commercial WordPress template that represented the features they desired. In consultation with library staff, Pro WWW Design installed a development instance of WordPress and a content strategy was developed.

While staff worked on content migration from the existing Joomla 1.5 site, Pro WWW Design

• Installed, configured and customized the template
• Provided WordPress site administrator training
• Installed Google Analytics
• Configured additional permissions solution
• Migrated and deployed the library’s 38,000 record online obituary database, to include visitor search functionality and administrator management console

United Methodist Church, North Central Jursidiction

When the North Central Jurisdiction was ready to refresh their site for the upcoming 2012 conference. we were ready to help. Working with the site administrator we developed a content strategy and deployed a WordPress installation and template on a development server.

When is  was time to go live, it was Pro WWW Design to the rescue! En route to the conference, the administrator didn’t have the means to copy the site to their server, so we stepped in and took care of it for him. By the time his plane had landed, his new site was ready to go!

In 2010 we partnered with Nicole Rhoads, lead developer on the project, to move the Albion District Library website from a years old FrontPage HTML site into a Joomla 1.5 content managed site. For this installation we migrated existing content, including their 30,000+ record obitiuary database that had exisited in a Microsoft Access database and custom PHP site into Joomla, as well as giving them a fresh new look, and incorporating their social media networks.
