SMART Recovery Ireland
Rebuilding the systems behind a busy organisation.
We worked with SMART Recovery Ireland to rebuild the systems behind the site, making it easier for people to find meetings and giving the team better tools to manage day-to-day work.
A better starting point.
SMART Recovery Ireland came to us with a website that had become difficult to maintain, and some important functionality wasn't working as it should.
We worked with the team to rebuild the systems behind the site, making it easier for people to find meetings and giving the team better tools to manage the organisation day to day.
Meetings that work for real life.
Meetings don't always follow a perfect schedule. A recurring meeting might be cancelled for one week, a facilitator might change, or an online session might need different arrangements.
We rebuilt the meeting system so the team can manage those changes without working around the limits of the old site. Behind that, people looking for support get a much clearer way to find available meetings.
And for the people looking for a meeting...
All of that work behind the scenes needed to make things easier for the people using the site too. The new meeting finder gives people a clearer way to search for meetings, with map and list views making it easier to find the right option.
The right tools for the people running it.
The people running SMART Recovery Ireland don't all have the same responsibilities, so they don't all need the same access.
We built staff accounts and permissions around the way the team works, giving administrators, facilitators and content editors the access they need.
Giving the team more control.
The SMART Recovery team shouldn't need a developer every time they want to change something. We built structured content management into the platform so the team can update key areas of the website themselves.
Built with Django and Wagtail.
Supporting the organisation.
We built a dedicated donations system supporting one-off and recurring contributions through Stripe, PayPal and Revolut.
Built to be looked after.
Behind the scenes, we also put proper processes around deployment, backups, security and recovery. The aim was to give the team a platform they could rely on, not just a new set of pages.
A platform the team can trust.
The result is a platform that works harder behind the scenes, while giving the people using and managing the site a much better experience.
