Design & bespoke WordPress theme
CO2balance needed a website refresh to help showcase the Corporate Social Responsibility projects they run in Africa. Their existing website was difficult to update and they had a separate WordPress blog which made administration very disjointed.
The solution was to create a bespoke WordPress theme bringing the main site and blog under one roof. I began by modernising the logo, laying out wireframes of the main pages, expanding their brand colours and producing some design layouts so that they could see the essential elements before we went into the build phase.
Advanced Custom Fields were used to set up the projects content type. They can now enter the data they need to easily set up new projects in the future. Blog posts are written under the same administration area, streamlining processes.
The main challenge of the project was overcoming hosting issues. Their existing host was using an outdated version of PHP and was unable to bring it up to date. I advised on alternative hosting and helped to migrate the site. It now runs on the latest version and is optimised for security and speed.
