Concordia Seminary

The Concordia Seminary project was a large, content-heavy website that needed to provide administrators with the ability to build out custom pages in the future. We considered the many page builder options available and settled on a combination of Advanced Custom Fields and SiteOrigin widgets. This project also included several custom plugins and integration with Concordia’s 3rd party systems. Additionally, an e-commerce store was built using WooCommerce.
