Project Overview
Miclub offered a couple of pre-made Wordpress themes for clients with basic needs, but needed something with more scalability. This theme is fully responsive, built for SEO, and easy to navigate.
Requirements
- Options for different content which is on most golf websites, including:
- Standard and custom page templates
- Course tour layouts
- Gallery pages
- Members area (news, weather, notifications etc.)
- Lots of opportunity for imagery.
- Design to be considered relevant and trendy for at least the next three years.
- Only use plugins which have been tested and approved.
- Integrate with a java back-end system – meaning the members area had to be 100% XHTML compliant.
Solution
- Options to highlight branding, text, images or video
- Four different Home page layouts
- Widgets for testimonials, sponsors, news and more
- Fully Responsive. Including WYSIWYG content
- Custom admin area to account for less technical content managers.
