Challenge
These nonprofit organizations needed scalable WordPress solutions that could handle high traffic, support multiple sub-sites, integrate with existing legacy systems, and provide custom e-commerce and user registration functionality. OasisNet.org specifically required migration from .NET to WordPress while maintaining connection to a remote legacy Microsoft SQL user database.
Solution
Implemented WordPress Multisite installations allowing centralized management of multiple related sites. Customized WooCommerce for specialized registration and donation workflows. For OasisNet.org, migrated the site from .NET to WordPress and built custom integration connecting WordPress authentication to the legacy Microsoft SQL users database.
