Helping teams manage their content easily

Partnership with DrawHistory

We were fortunate to work with the talented team at DrawHistory, who curated and crafted this wonderful website design. The brief outlined the critical need to create a WordPress website that could empower the Centre for Social Impact team for years to come. Each year, the SIF team has seen an increasing growth in attendees and engagement at their yearly conference. With over 6,500 people attending in 2018, an intuitive digital platform became a necessity.

Leveraging WordPress

The Hatchet team are experienced in leveraging the WordPress core when it comes to developing custom web solutions. Moving away from the traditional way WordPress developers pull in third-party plugins and tear them apart, our preference is to take a fresh approach to WordPress development. With some contributors speaking at multiple events, a flexible database containing configurable pricing/location/date-times/categories and some clever thinking was needed. The SIF project flexed our abilities to leverage custom post types and define attributes distinct from contributors and events.

The Outcome

The website has been a huge success; it has operated through 3 festivals to date. Through a powerful modular web design approach by DrawHistory. SIF are empowered to manage pages and content throughout the website; each year, small adjustments are made to give the website a fresh look and feel.
