As part of the work, we implemented a custom post type for caravans/lodges for sale, each of which has pre-defined fields that the staff member fills in. These posts then populate a dynamic grid on the for sale page, arranged in a neat, mobile-responsive grid, with the newest arrivals first. This solution makes it much easier for staff to keep the site updated. We also fixed a critical issue with the enquiry form.
“Thank you for the work on the website it looks great. We just wanted one that worked and we can edit ourselves easily. Today we got our first web enquiry which was very exciting, I dread to think how many enquiries we lost over the years not being able to access them.”
The main focus of this project was to simplify the management of the website for internal staff, allowing them to keep on top of it more efficiently. Each post has a custom field assigned, which gives the option of being marked as available, reserved, or sold, so staff can manage the status of each caravan/lodge in one click.
Custom post types can be used to manage any kind of grouped content in WordPress, and when combined with advanced custom fields (ACF), give a great deal of flexibility to design the best solution for both customers and back-end users.
In addition to the above work, we also embedded their Google Reviews in a carousel, completed a full security and plugin audit, along with some WordPress ‘good housekeeping’ tasks to speed up the website and removed some outdated content.
