The Challenge:

MCIT needed a new website to solve some big challenges with its old one. Their previous site suffered from an outdated design, poor navigation, and a lack of accessibility features. The MCIT team found the content management process inefficient, and the site lacked essential user-friendly functionalities such as integrated event registration. Given MCIT’s extensive collection of resources and significant training program, the organization needed a modern, accessible, and service-focused website. This updated platform would better serve the needs of its diverse membership by providing a streamlined and user-friendly experience.

Our Approach

ArcStone partnered with MCIT using our Blueprinting process to clarify goals, align stakeholders, and define the ideal site structure. The redesign prioritized simplified navigation, an improved resource library with search and filtering, and full accessibility compliance. We built the new site in WordPress with mobile optimization and integrated an event registration system using Stripe for streamlined payments. Content migration was a collaborative effort, with ArcStone guiding the process and providing training to ensure the MCIT team could confidently manage the site moving forward.
