Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP), committed to providing carbon-free electricity, sought a technology partner to modernize its online presence. In February 2017, MBCP embarked on a mission to offer locally-controlled, sustainable energy to residents and businesses in Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz Counties through California’s Community Choice Energy (CCE) model. Their vision demanded a revamped website, and VND was ready to step in as the ideal collaborator.
Our collaboration with MBCP began with a clear goal in mind: to craft a digital platform that would align with their mission and elevate their online presence. VND embarked on this journey by reimagining their website from the ground up, ensuring a seamless user experience while adhering to the highest accessibility standards. This project was a testament to our commitment to technology-driven sustainability.
VND seamlessly integrated MBCP’s website into a WordPress Content Management System (CMS), providing a robust and user-friendly framework for managing content and updates. This integration not only enhanced the website’s flexibility but also empowered MBCP’s team to efficiently maintain and update their online presence. By harnessing the power of WordPress, we ensured that MBCP had a dynamic platform to engage with its audience and convey its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
We made the website accessible to all by implementing WCAG 2.0 standards, ensuring that people with impairments could navigate and engage with the site effortlessly. Our dedication to inclusivity drove us to meticulously review and optimize every aspect of the website’s design, content, and functionality. By adhering to these accessibility guidelines, we transformed MBCP’s website into an inclusive platform, where everyone, regardless of their abilities, could access vital information about clean energy options.
Our mobile-first responsive design guarantees that the website adapts flawlessly to screens of all sizes, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable user experience. Recognizing the diverse ways in which users access information, we prioritized a responsive design approach. Whether visitors access the site from a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone, they can expect a seamless and visually appealing experience. This commitment to responsiveness reflects our dedication to meeting the evolving needs of modern online audiences.
We introduced new plugins and optimized the user interface, making the website more intuitive and visually appealing. Our team leveraged cutting-edge plugins and design principles to enhance the user experience. We focused on creating an interface that not only looked stunning but also facilitated easy navigation and interaction. By striking a balance between aesthetics and functionality, we ensured that visitors to MBCP’s website would find it engaging, informative, and user-friendly.
Our team provided a full migration to a private cloud hosted at the VND data center in San Antonio, Texas. The website was meticulously designed to thrive in a clustered hosting environment, capable of effortlessly handling high traffic demands.
