Web Design

A custom WordPress website designed to support live broadcasting, archived content, and community engagement.

WCAT needed a modern platform that could serve multiple audiences, including residents, producers, and local officials, while making local content easy to access.

Challenge

The organization required a website that could:

  • Stream public and government channels live
  • Provide organized, on-demand access to past programs and meetings
  • Encourage community involvement in content creation
  • Keep residents informed with schedules, news, and events

Solution

We partnered with WCAT to design and build a site that balances technical media needs with clear navigation.

Work included:

  • Live Streaming Integration: Real-time streaming for both public and government channels
  • Program Archives: An organized system for on-demand viewing of recorded shows, meetings, and events
  • Community Resources: Clear information on memberships, internships, equipment access, and how to produce content
  • Responsive Design: A fully responsive layout that works across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices

Results

The new website strengthens WCATโ€™s role in the community:

  • Increased Accessibility: Residents can easily watch live and archived programming
  • Stronger Engagement: Clear pathways for community participation in media production
  • Improved Communication: Up-to-date schedules, news, and events keep Wakefield informed
