The Hill Snowdon Foundation came to Clikzy needing to redesign their outdated website. The previous site was built on a proprietary CMS that the Foundation could not easily update themselves. The new site was built on Wordpress to allow the Foundation to manage updates independently. It includes separate login areas for board members and partners, and nests the grant application behind the partner login for privacy. Downloadable publications were also added to the site to serve as a resource for users. The redesigned site aims to better facilitate board coordination and streamline the grants application process.
