Project Summary

TechAhead redesigned and rebuilt the Water, Air, Food Awards' website, creating a WordPress-based site with custom PHP applications to support online applications and a secure public voting gateway. The launch (May 2018) increased traffic and successfully supported the first vote-gathering processes, and the team supported fundraising and sponsor-promotion features for the nonprofit.

Key Challenges

Outdated, ineffective website that was difficult to maintain
Need for a complete rebranding of the online presence

Project Deliverables

Wireframes
WordPress website
PHP custom applications
Online application system
Public voting gateway
Fundraising and sponsor promotion features

Project Solution

TechAhead prepared wireframes and iterated on designs, then built a WordPress-based website with custom PHP applications. They implemented an online application system and a public voting gateway (designed to be more secure and simpler), and added features to promote fundraising, sponsors, and contributors. Project coordination used Basecamp and Google tools.

Project Outcome

Increased website traffic compared to its predecessor
Performed well during initial public voting (voting began in June)
