BMC Centre

The brief

BMC Centre runs settlement, employment and youth programs for newcomers in the Peel and Halton region. Their old website was hard to read, mixed content, and didn’t show new programs clearly. They asked for a redesign that kept the existing branding but gave visitors a clean path to the information they need.

What I did

I started by mapping the information architecture, then rebuilt the site on WordPress using the tools the client already preferred. I added new landing pages for each program and created a few custom widgets to pull in upcoming events and testimonials.

• Re‑structured navigation to surface core services first
• Built program‑specific landing pages with Elementor and Gutenberg blocks
• Integrated WooCommerce to handle online donations securely
• Added custom shortcodes for event calendars and volunteer sign‑ups
• Optimized headings and meta tags with Yoast SEO for better search visibility

The result

Visitors now land on a clear homepage that announces the main programs and directs them to detailed pages in just two clicks. The donation form works without a hitch, and the event calendar updates automatically from the backend. Feedback from staff shows the new layout reduces the time it takes a newcomer to find the right service. The site loads faster and passes basic accessibility checks, making it easier for a diverse audience to use.
