Case Study: Neighbourhood Small Grants boosts community engagement with Forge and Smith's custom WordPress redesign

Neighbourhood Small Grants boosts organic search traffic 30% with Forge and Smith

Neighbourhood Small Grants, a non-profit organization supporting community projects across British Columbia, faced the challenge of aligning its website with a new rebrand and improving its digital accessibility and user experience. They partnered with the vendor Forge and Smith, who employed services including Custom WordPress development and User Experience Design to address these objectives, which included integrating a Communities Finder with Google Maps API and improving content strategy.

Forge and Smith implemented a fully responsive, mobile-first website on WordPress, featuring a new visual design, improved navigation, and location-based filtering for local content. The solution made the grant application process easier to find and significantly improved audience engagement. The results included a 30% increase in organic search traffic and improved engagement on both desktop and mobile devices compared to the previous year.
