GRO is a community art organization with three active galleries, local artists, and youth / outreach programs.
Beyond simply a way to show galleries, diverse categorization of art based on these groups was required using a simple CMS to be managed on a daily basis by people with little time or interest in technical systems.
WordPress was utilized for its ease of input and wide plugin ecosystem of deeply customizable solutions to the client's specific needs.
Ongoing maintenance, security monitoring and client follow up help to keep a smooth system running with the least friction for a busy client.
