The inspiration behind the project

Being a popular web designing and development agency, Redcitrus deals with various clients with various requirements on a daily basis. One of such clients was Manchester Independents which conducts events with independent Greater Manchester artists every year. It came to Redcitrus Design to revamp their website and improve its performance.

The challenges they faced

While analyzing the website of Manchester Independents, here are the problems they faced:

The website was very basic and no automatic update was possible.
They added their events to a third-party site.
There was a need of a completely new website where they could manage the events with their small team easily.
They also needed the facility to allow performers to add their own events, create recurring events, display an event calendar and more.

In the words of the founder “The existing website of Manchester Independents was very basic as they lacked the ability to update it themselves, and the events were added to a third-party site. They were seeking a new website that they could manage with ease with a small team, allowing performers to add their own events while being easily moderated by the MI team.”

Connecting with WP Event Manager

To fulfill the above-mentioned requirements of Manchester Independents along with a fresh new WordPress site, Redcitrus needed WordPress plugins.

After initiating a lot of research on the available plugins and building a test website, they discovered that WP Event Manager was the most suitable option for them to deliver the project successfully.

“Redcitrus Design were tasked with building a new WordPress website and therefore wanted to find a new plug-in that would not only fit their specific requirements but also allow us to easily match their new branding. They needed to be able to add new events fields, add recurring events and display events using a calendar. After searching through the available plug-ins and creating a test website, it became clear that WP Event Manager had everything we needed to achieve this.”
