Introduction
NJAPPA has worked with OGO Sense since 2010 to complete their website redesign project and maintain technical aspects of its website.Problems
NJAPPA faced several issues:- The old and static website design was becoming outdated and did not represent NJAPPA in the best possible light.
- Many website visitors used their phone or tablet to access the website which was not optimized for mobile devices.
- The website continuity, security, and technical compatibility was at risk because the website used an older version of Joomla CMS.
Solution
OGO Sense helped NJAPPA make some of the following improvements:- Strategize, envision, and design the new website to better meet needs of its existing members.
- Implement a clean, modern, responsive, and custom template that corresponds to NJAPPA’s branding.
- Integrate new or streamline existing functionalities such as online event registration and automated feeds displaying job posts.
Results
As a results of the redesign and technical migration, NJAPPA can:- Better meet needs of your target audience which is increasingly using mobile devices.
- Avoid and minimize website issues by improving security and software compatibility with a technical migration to Joomla 3.
- Have a more appealing Joomla website that is well designed, customized, and more user friendly to its members.
- Reuse former website content in an archive on the new website.
