Custom WordPress Plugin Case Studies
Transforming Donor Recognition for Reach Child Development School
Reach Child Development School approached us with a unique challenge: they wanted a better way to recognize and honor their donors. Their current method involved publishing short blog posts about each donation.

To solve this, we developed a custom WordPress plugin tailored to their needs. The plugin introduced a new custom post type specifically for donor recognition. This system allowed the school to showcase donations in an organized and visually appealing timeline format. Each entry could include detailed information, creating a richer and more engaging experience for visitors.
