Project Summary

GMI Group developed a customizable CMS-based website for a technical training school that allowed customers to view course information and sign up for training. The CMS enabled non-technical staff to update content, included lead-generation forms and pop-ups, and incorporated SEO improvements that increased organic traffic. The team used Scrum with two-week sprints and completed the project on time.
