The folks at Brainzest had a problem - their website needed some major changes, but it was developed in a CMS they had no experience with (Joomla). To make matters worse, the original designer wasn't around to help anymore!
They had already decided they wanted to migrate to WordPress, but were unsure how to accomplish it. It seemed to make sense to make the changes they wanted at the same time as any other work or migration, so that was a consideration when hiring a developer too. The project was under some time constraints also, as several events were being advertised and web traffic was sure to rise as they came near.
43Folders not only had the appropriate range of skills, but a ton of experience migrating existing code and content from various CMS platforms to WordPress. Ultimately, we selected a Genesis base theme, and then customized around the original look and feel so there was consistency - but applying modern design sensibilities and web best practices. No more than a few weeks after our discovery phase, the "new" Brainzest was live and better than ever!
