Challenge
The project had 2 components:
- Migrate the existing Webflow site to WordPress and re-vamp it
- Create a Data Portal that will display the results of the survey in a way that is easy to understand
The data portal needs to be password protected, access is requested via a form and admins will decide who is approved.
The data portal will help visualize data collected from 1000+ participants on a survey that had 100+ questions.
While the data interpretation was provided by the organization, the data needed to be stored in a database and fed into different libraries that will help visualize it in the best way possible.
Solution
The first part of the project was finalized by using WordPress with a custom theme developed from Bootstrap and that incorporated the use of visual builders for easy management moving on.
Migration was completed with content transfer and a complete redesign as well. The redesign and branding were handled by Pixel Positive, the agency that we partnered with on this project.
The second part of the project was achieved with a custom WordPress plugin developed using VueJS framework that allows dynamic data to be loaded on the page. We paired that with the Chart.js library in order to generate the charts, while the interpretation of the charts was generated by a set of rules we created together with the organization, to provide a more contextual meaning.
