YMCA Norfolk
This huge website redesign project was a collaboration between Pathlight Design and Bourne Creative.
For client content management the website uses the WordPress ‘block editor’ that was introduced with Gutenberg (WordPress version 5). Being a native feature of WordPress, it will be supported and developed long-term. With 3rd party plugin page builders there is the risk of them abandoned by developers resulting in broken content. In this instance, ror a site of this size it would be mammoth task recreating all the content.
Behind the scenes the website also utilises WooCommerce for a sophisticated booking system for a fundraising soft play which is part of the charity’s community hub and William’s Kitchen (also developed by Pathlight Design and Bourne Creative) This includes management of resources for multiple types of booking including parties. This is constantly being developed with custom coding to meet exact requirements.
