Women’s Agenda is an influential Australian news publishing platform focused on politics, business, leadership, tech and life from the perspective of professional women and female entrepreneurs.
Women’s Agenda came to us late 2016 looking for help to upgrade their existing site from a clunky and outdated Joomla site to a new design on WordPress. The project involved migrating over 7000 articles across between the platforms, as well as designing a new look and feel for the site.
4 years later, Editor Angela Priestley wanted to refresh the site. They needed a fast-loading content platform with a modern editorial look so that’s what we delivered – along with new functionality like video galleries, infinite scrolling on blog posts and different layout options for different news article categories.
Women’s Agenda wanted to build membership platform for readers who wanted to support female-led journalism. We build a paid membership platform that enables subscribers to pay an annual subscription and then access content like videos, webinars and ebooks as well as news features that put women at the heart of the story.
Working with Pixel Palace was an absolute pleasure and very, very easy to do. We got in touch with Jen with a complex project on a limited budget: migrating our existing news site from Joomla to Wordpress, along with more than 7000 posts in the process. We also needed to do this while maintaining our daily news schedule, and on a tight deadline. The team kept us informed the whole way through the project, sharing designs, communicating updates and answering our (oftentimes silly) questions – mostly over the phone as we’re based in Sydney. The finished project has transformed our business, and with Jen and the team on board was headache-free! Would highly recommend!
