Main Goal
CHIMA selected Fennel Street to build a new digital solution for their staff and member community from the ground up using WordPress as the backbone. This was one of our more complex projects to date.
Deliverables
The client was in a legacy membership system called MPower and we had to migrate all 10,000 of their members from MPower into WordPress.
Outcome
Using WordPress as the platform, Fennel Street scoped and built a solution that incorporated 6 functions.

What we did

Functionality
MPower provided the following functionality that needed to be considered and where data needed to be mapped.
• CHIMA member data (about 10,000 members) including memberships, subscriptions and designations (used for their accreditation)
• LMS data (including courses, credits, exam results and applications)
• Transactions (membership renewals, courses, events)
• Events
• Provincial chapters (each CHIMA chapter was a sub domain)
• Public and Member only pages/content
Inner pages

Solution
Using WordPress as the platform, Fennel Street worked with CHIMA to scope and build a solution that incorporated the following:
• Memberships and subscriptions for individuals and teams using WooCommerce Memberships, Subscriptions and Teams
• E-Commerce capabilities facilitating online purchases and renewals for members using Stripe as the payment gateway
• Access by role, membership and active subscription to gated content, forums (bbPress) and job board (WP Job Manager)
• Learning Management System (LearnDash) and custom built exam functionality using Gravity Forms
• Event subscriptions and attendance tracking (The Event Calendar Pro)
• Email Marketing (Mailchimp) integration with WooCommerce

Wrap it up
CHIMA now has a website they have full ownership over and can continue to develop new features and functionality without having to rely on a vendor.
