Initial situation
Anyone who works in the Bernese Alps, as we do, sees paragliders flying around from the mountain peaks and high meadows every day. The paragliding school in Spiez – a.k.a. Flugbasis – supports pilots and guests from all over the world. With an increasing number of enquiries, a lot of time was being lost to administrative processes that could be automated. The previous content management system TYPO3 was too bulky for the customer, which is why a more flexible open source solution was sought.
Goals and vision
Every team can benefit from efficient administration tools, for example by simplifying interaction with customers and club members. In addition to general information about the school and the club, the website should be made more attractive with a members’ area and registration forms so that visitors can manage their interest and needs directly.
The project
In addition to comprehensive design work and the development of a customised WordPress Theme and several side-along plugins, we developed a member area with various functions. This part of the project includes several processes: from an automated registration process when reserving a course place and a one-click registration tool for members to a synchronisation tool for connection to an external CRM.
