Byfleet, West Byfleet & Pyrford Residents’ Association is as it says, a three village residents association.
Their old site was in desperate need of updating, as there wa sno easy way to change content, and the design was from the very early internet era.
Moving to a WordPress CMS has enabled several of the volunteers to become content editors.
Being a community project the budget was low. The website was built on Genesis framework using a standard Studio Press theme, and the colours were modified to match those used on the printed residents magazine.
A couple of neat features were incorporated, such as integration to a Google calendar to show up coming events https://the-residents.org/diary/ and also a directory of local businesses using free WordPress plugins.
The budget was low and as a community project we contributed some of our time as a donation.
As the association also needed a system to record memberships, we implemented a not-for-profits CRM at the same time.
