Business Challenges

SMISS had an extremely outdated website with little or no integration with the Memberclicks portal that is used to manage their members. Plego had to redesign the website from the ground up and then enable membership management functionality in order to allow SMISS to let their users seamlessly join SMISS, manage their member status, update their payment methods and update their profile . The site needed to have a fresh new look that set itself above similar websites.

Solution

Plego designed and developed a brand new website via WordPress. We separated the site into functional sections that allowed users to browse the site according to their specific purpose. The main sections of interest within the site included:

Home

The home page primary purpose was to promote three activities for users. Find a Surgeon, Get info about Annual Forum, and Join Now. Below that it featured access to the case library, gave information about it’s board and some other information about why to join the membership.

The homepage was designed to be an introduction to the SMISS brand. It has a fullscreen layout and responsive design format.
