Tresillian
Tresillian is a Not For Profit that assists new parents. Their motto is "It's in our nature to nurture"
It begins with support
Prior to the launch of a new website, Webcoda stepped in to provide technical support for the outdated Tresillian site, originally built on Umbraco CMS. The previous agency had reached its limits in supporting Tresillian and graciously referred us. The identity of our mysterious benefactor remains unknown, but we extend our heartfelt gratitude for uniting us in this journey.
A new website is born
Navigating the world of parenthood can be overwhelming, so we aimed to provide a welcoming and easy-to-use website for those seeking guidance and support.
It certainly didn't hurt that we had such cute subject matter to work with!
Why Umbraco CMS again?
Initially, Tresillian had reservations about using Umbraco again due to their past experience with the old version's usability. However, we were confident in the latest versions of Umbraco, knowing it was user-friendly, incredibly flexible and powerful when properly configured.
The resulting website stands as a testament to Umbraco's flexibility. With a plethora of features ranging from events to E-commerce and beyond, it's astonishing to think that Umbraco itself is both free and open source.
Mapping
With centres scattered throughout Australia, utilising a map is the most effective way to assist users. The Tresillian site is now seamlessly integrated with Google Maps, even enabling us to pinpoint the user's location and display the nearest centre for their convenience.
Advice and tips
During our discovery and UX workshops, we crafted screens that catered to users who may be feeling a bit groggy, grumpy, or easily distracted. We toyed with the idea of having our testers pull an all-nighter and endure some ear-piercing screams during testing, but decided that might be a tad too extreme.
The outcome was a website so user-friendly that even a toddler could navigate it effortlessly.
Our baby is all grown up
Just like watching our child grow, we couldn't be prouder of our latest creation. The new Tresillian website has been showered with compliments from its users. The dedicated staff at Tresillian are thrilled with the new platform, and even media outlets are reaching out for more information following the successful launch.
