# Powercomm Group case study: High voltage, tight budget

Powercomm's WordPress site was slow and hard to manage, and a full custom build was beyond their budget. DayOne Digital™ gave it a mobile-first Drupal website on a fast turnaround, with zero compromise on quality.

The problem: A slow WordPress site that was hard to update, and no budget for a full custom build. The solution: A mobile-first Drupal site built from DayOne Digital™'s modular components, with a careers section. The outcome: A new site on a fast turnaround, and a marketing team that posts jobs and news with ease.

## The challenge: More than a refresh.

Powercomm's team found their WordPress site slow, outdated and frustrating to manage. It needed fast, simple content updates and job posts, on a budget that ruled out a full custom build.

Powercomm Group provides electrical services to the renewables and utilities sector in Ireland. Their marketing team needed a quick way to post news and job vacancies, and a site visitors could find their way around.

Powercomm didn't have the budget for a full custom build. It needed flexibility and quality at a cost it could afford, and a new site in the market quickly, built from proven parts rather than from scratch.

## What we built: A Drupal site built with DayOne Digital™.

### Modular components

DayOne Digital™ uses a curated set of modular components, so Powercomm got a refreshed design and clear page layouts without a custom build.

### Careers and vacancies

Powercomm's team publishes job vacancies in a dedicated careers section built for easy publishing.

### A CMS the team can run

### Mobile-first and fast
