Taking Digital Moments PHP site to Webflow

Overview

Digital Moment, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering young minds with digital skills, faced challenges with their custom PHP-based website, requiring developer intervention for updates, which caused delays. To address this, our RedBit development team transitioned their website to Webflow, allowing the Digital Moment team to manage their digital presence without needing extensive technical skills. Key features included Webflow CMS for easy content updates, bilingual site creation using Webflow's localization feature, and integration of Google Analytics and SEO optimization for better visibility and engagement tracking. This migration resulted in increased speed and autonomy in updates, significant cost savings by reducing reliance on external developers, and improved capabilities to serve a diverse, bilingual community, enabling Digital Moment to focus more on their mission of educating young minds.
