Umbraco CMS Website for Riverside Training


PSP Transforms Riverside Training’s Digital Presence with a New Umbraco Website

Client Overview


Riverside Training is a specialist provider of workplace qualifications, offering training for childcare workers, teaching assistants, administration staff and managers. As an accredited sub-contractor for the Skills Funding Agency and awarding bodies such as Cache and Futurequals, Riverside Training needed a modern, user-friendly website to showcase their range of services effectively. They partnered with PSP to develop a new website using the Umbraco CMS, aiming to improve their digital presence and streamline course applications. 

Challenge


Riverside Training’s previous website was outdated and did not provide the functionality needed to support their growing business. They required a platform that would be visually appealing, easy to navigate and optimised for search engines to increase online visibility. Additionally, the new site needed to support course applications directly from individual course pages and offer a content management system (CMS) that would allow Riverside staff to manage updates independently. Ensuring the site was responsive across all devices and included features for tracking sales enquiries and showcasing job vacancies was also crucial to their requirements. 

Solution


PSP leveraged its 16 years of Umbraco expertise to build a dynamic, user-friendly website tailored to Riverside Training’s needs. The project began with a detailed functional specification outlining technical and design requirements, ensuring a clear roadmap for development. Using Umbraco CMS, PSP developed a website that enabled Riverside Training to have full control over their content, making it easy for staff to update pages, add new course listings and manage enquiries. 

The new site was designed with a focus on responsiveness and SEO optimisation, ensuring it performed well across smartphones, tablets and desktop devices while achieving higher rankings on search engines. The intuitive design allowed users to find information quickly and a dedicated sales funnel feature was incorporated to streamline course applications and track leads effectively. PSP also implemented a job vacancy page to enable Riverside to post local employment opportunities, providing additional value to site visitors. 

Results


The launch of the new Umbraco-based website transformed Riverside Training’s digital presence. The refreshed design and modern structure significantly enhanced their online brand image, making the site more inviting and accessible for potential students. With the Umbraco CMS, Riverside Training now has the flexibility to manage and update their content in-house, reducing their dependency on external developers and enabling quicker content updates. 

The site’s responsive design ensures a seamless browsing experience across all devices and the SEO enhancements have resulted in improved search engine rankings, driving more traffic to the site. The integrated sales funnel has streamlined the course application process, allowing Riverside to capture and respond to leads more effectively. The addition of the job vacancy page has expanded the site’s functionality, providing a platform for Riverside to connect with job seekers in the community. 

Conclusion


PSP’s implementation of a modern Umbraco CMS website provided Riverside Training with a flexible, scalable platform that enhances their digital presence and operational efficiency. The new site supports Riverside’s business goals by increasing user engagement, streamlining course applications and offering an easy-to-use content management system that empowers staff to make updates independently. PSP’s expertise in Umbraco ensured a high-quality solution that meets Riverside’s needs, positioning them for continued growth and success in the competitive training sector.
