The Challenge

The primary goal was to overhaul the society's existing website to incorporate WooCommerce, WooCommerce Subscriptions, and WooCommerce Memberships. This enhancement aimed to streamline membership registration and renewal processes, allowing users to manage their memberships and payments online. Additionally, the site needed to be user-friendly and easily editable by the client, with a focus on speed and efficiency.

/ What We Did

The Strategy

The development strategy was multi-layered:

eCommerce and Membership Integration: Utilising WooCommerce and its extensions, the team built a comprehensive system for membership management. This system allowed users to register for memberships, process payments, and set up annual recurring billing, simplifying the administrative process for both users and the society.
Exclusive Member Access: An active membership granted access to a private group on the website, creating an exclusive space for members to interact and share their passion for Nishikigoi. This feature was designed to add value to the membership and foster a sense of community among the hobbyists.
Client-Friendly Website Management: Ensuring that the entire website was easily editable by the client was a vital aspect of the project. The team focused on creating a user-friendly backend, allowing the society to update content and manage the site independently.
Performance Optimiaation: The entire website was built with speed in mind, recognising that a fast-loading site enhances user experience and engagement.
