Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie, a reputable healthcare provider in Thornlie, WA, recognized the need to revamp its outdated website to better serve its patients and align with modern web standards. The existing platform was not mobile-friendly, lacked a user-friendly interface, and was difficult to update with new content. The goal was to transition to a new website built on WordPress—known for its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use—while enhancing user experience, accessibility, and digital presence.

Process: The design phase involved a comprehensive review of the existing website, identifying key areas for improvement. The old site was not optimised for user experience, featuring a cluttered layout and outdated design elements. Our design team developed new wireframes and mockups that focused on a clean, professional, and easy-to-navigate layout. The new design aimed to reflect the high standard of care provided by Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie while making it easy for users to find information, explore services, and book appointments.

• User-Friendly Interface: Makes it simple for the Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie team to update content and manage the site without requiring technical expertise.

Process: During the development phase, we migrated all content from the old platform to WordPress, ensuring no data was lost in the transition. The site was optimised for performance, delivering fast load times and a smooth user experience. We also integrated essential plugins for search engine optimisation (SEO), security, and analytics to enhance site functionality and effectively track user interactions.

Benefits of WordPress in Development:

• SEO-Friendly: WordPress’s built-in SEO capabilities and plugins help improve the site’s visibility on search engines, attracting more organic traffic to Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie.

Process: Before launching the new site, we carried out comprehensive testing to ensure full compatibility across all browsers and devices. We also provided the Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie team with training and detailed documentation, enabling them to manage their new WordPress site with confidence. The launch was executed seamlessly, with minimal downtime, ensuring that patients experienced a smooth and uninterrupted transition to the upgraded platform.
