Project story

A long story of the successful partnership began in 2011 with updates and adding features to Joomla. In 2017, Hypertension.ca decided to make the migration from Joomla to WordPress. Although another company build the new WordPress site, IDL Web was tasked to continue with providing support and maintenance on the new WordPress version.

Over the years, we have been working closely with the Hypertension Canada team to provide regular site updates. The annual Congress requires multiple timely site updates which our staff are all involved with. IDL Web also assisted in implementing a new website design based on provided design files. There has been various requests where we were tasked with API development to interface and communicate with a 3rd party system.

On the hosting front, we regularly update WordPress and all related plugins. We ensure PHP and MySQL are both up to date. As part of our Plus hosting packages, we actively monitor the site for an uptime issue as well as have scanners checking the site daily for any possible security issues. As a Plus hosting customer, we are proactive in resolving any detected issues, often times without our client even realizing an issue exists. That is the IDL Web’s proactive approach to our customer’s success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Healthcare Website Development

Yes, WordPress is a suitable CMS for healthcare websites. Its flexibility, user-friendliness, and extensive plugin ecosystem allow improving website features and building professional online platforms. However, specific healthcare industry requirements & regulations need additional customization or plugins. For a multifunctional website for different customer segments we recommend considering custom development from the very beginning, it can be Joomla, customized WordPress, or pure PHP website.

Migrating from Joomla to WordPress can be complex, time-consuming, and challenging depending on website size, CMSs versions, and features’ complexity. Automated tools can assist with database migration, but migrating the website functionality required to build the entire website architecture using the new CMS, set up all plugins and customizing any feature that plugins can’t cover. In order to save time and costs, we recommend hiring a web development agency, with deep expertise in both CMS, Joomla ,and WordPress.

The easiest way to accept donations on the WP website in to install a plugin. Top plugins for now in North America are: DonorBox, Give WP, Seamless Donation, WP Simple Pay. From the other hand, you can integrate payment gateaways via APIs.

Connect a learning management system (LMS) to your WordPress with appropriate plugin or manually with a custom build LMS component. If you have an access to 3d party LMS, you can also integrate it with API connection.
