THE CHALLENGE
Already trusted for two previous websites, MATCPD came back to us with a bold new venture: A platform to market, sell, and deliver professional development for school and trust leaders.
The brief was ambitious:
- A unique, sector‑specific design
- Fully integrated with Zoom, Stripe, Microsoft 365 SSO, and MailChimp
- One central hub for customers - from booking to joining an event
They needed a site that didn’t just look the part, but worked flawlessly under the hood.
OUR APPROACH
We hit the ground running, designing and building in parallel to fast‑track delivery.
- Brand‑aligned visuals: Built from client‑supplied branding and content.
- Feature‑first development: Event booking system, payment gateway, and integrations tested early to avoid bottlenecks.
- Smart integrations:
> Zoom for live delivery
> Stripe for secure payments
> Microsoft 365 SSO for friction‑free logins
> MailChimp for automated communications
By overlapping design and development, we delivered ahead of schedule - without compromising quality.
THE RESULTS
The finished site is more than a brochure - it’s a fully‑automated event sales engine:
- Friction‑free booking: Attendees can sign in with Microsoft 365 or create an account in seconds.
- Instant confirmation: Automated emails with Zoom links and event details sent on booking.
- Trainer tools: Event hosts can log in, view, and download attendee lists instantly.
- Automated reminders: Configurable email sequences keep attendance rates high.
- Secure payments: Stripe handles all transactions, protecting card data at every step.
- Confidence from day one: Client training throughout the build meant they were ready to manage events before launch.
Impact: MATCPD now has a single, centralised platform that saves admin time, delivers a smooth user experience, and scales effortlessly as their audience grows.
