WordPress Redesign, Deployment & Email Integration

Project Owner: Loyola Centre for Media and Communications (LCMC)

Project Overview

This project is a WordPress-based institutional website developed for LCMC, a Jesuit apostolate in Eastern Africa focused on the holistic formation of children and youth through media, leadership development, and value-based education. The platform communicates LCMC’s mission, programs, and outreach activities while providing a modern digital presence for an organization working directly with young people and indirectly with parents, teachers, animators, and caregivers.

I led the complete redesign and redevelopment of the website, replacing the previous version with a more modern, structured, and mission-aligned platform. My work covered the full project lifecycle, including UI/UX redesign, WordPress development, deployment, email-marketing integration, and Microsoft 365 email system implementation to strengthen both public communication and organizational operations.

Key achievements

• Redesigned the entire website and replaced the older version with a more contemporary and professional WordPress platform aligned with LCMC’s apostolic identity and program visibility.

• Developed and deployed the site to provide a stronger digital presence for a Jesuit media and youth-formation organization serving Eastern Africa.

• Structured the website to clearly present LCMC’s mission, team, contact information, and program areas such as Angaza Dialogue Platform, Digital Culture, Value-Based Education, Youth Apostolate, and Management Communication.

• Integrated email-marketing tools, including HubSpot, to improve lead capture, audience engagement, and communication workflows.

• Implemented a Microsoft 365 email system to support professional organizational communication and domain-based email operations.
