Case study: RenewablesHigh 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.
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Powercomm's team found their WordPress site slow, outdated and frustrating to manage.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.

- The outcome
- Staff publish once and the site shows it in the right places, with less admin for each post.
