What they do:
Maple Leaf Designs have been designing, manufacturing and installing school playground equipment nationwide from their Cheshire-based workshops since 1990. They provide playground equipment for schools, nurseries, children’s centres, pre-schools, councils and private individuals, as well as catering for children with special needs with their inclusive playground equipment.
How we helped:
Maple Leaf Designs’ existing website was struggling with outdated addons & modifications making it difficult to manage and almost impossible to keep the various elements up to date.
Their big problems began when their host upgraded their PHP version past a point their theme was designed to work with . I was called in to ‘rescue’ their site in the short term and then to future proof the site with a rebuild.
The new website marries many of the features their client base found useful from their original site along with many new features and design aspects provided by a bespoke written theme.
I’ve optimised the site using the latest versions of mySql & PHP, populated the site with SEO (Search Engine Optimised) content and added all our usual security & backup features.
The next phase is to activate eCommerce functionality on a limited range of products which suit online sale & home/diy installation.
