The Problem

AusPayNet (previously nown as Australian Payments Clearing Association) had a website built using a different CMS, which had become unstable after a version upgrade
The website was also in need of a redesign to create a more modern look and feel
AusPayNet needed a new website that could be content managed easily
The backend needed to be flexible to adapt to the type of content required to be delivered to a diverse range of Participant Members that participate on a day-to-day operational basis

Solution

Working closely with the marketing team and with careful planning brand new website was built using the Drupal CMS
The solution was to adapt the Drupal backend to create reusable blocks & templated fields that could be embedded into a wide range of templates
The new website included a bespoke module to automatically deliver news feeds to the website’s subscribers
The site has been hosted with a stable local hosting provider, as per AusPayNet’s requirements
Over time version-by-version upgrades have been applied, AusPayNet’s website has been continualy modified and upgraded without disruption to the business

Outcome

A modern, highly stable and secure site
A flexible platform for the AusPayNet marketing department to manage content themselves whenever needed
Ongoing CMS maintenance and management
Development of new bespoke features when needed
The Bridge manages the hosting service as well as the website itself, meaning AusPayNet can focus fully on its business
Importantly, we have a forged a strong relationship with AusPayNet over the past 5 years

Technology

The Drupal CMS was used together with modules developed to provide advanced, bespoke functionality
Drupal is popular with governement and regulatory organisations due to its robustness, stability and scalability, togehter with powerful content management features for dealing with complex and large-scale websites
