Helensvale Rugby Union Club required a redesign of their old website. Their goals were to reinvigorate their online presence as well as create a media hub for their various social media platforms.
By allowing Facebook updates and instagram images to feed into the site automatically, it saves the committee members time by not having to update their social media accounts and then update the website.
