Before We Started

The previous CMS provided inadequate admin tools and functionality rendered a modern, content-focused, KPI-driven website impossible to achieve.

The Problem

The tourism industry’s leading website and CRM provider’s solution limited capabilities and customizability. The technological feature set was years behind the rest of the web industry’s tools and feature set, and there was limited interest and support from this solution provider in building the future of tourism.

The best part of working with Plan Left is being treated like a member of the team. I’m always trying to push the boundary of what we’re doing and where we should be going and there’s never a time when I’ve been told it’s not possible.

The Plan

Plan Left provided a CMS system that offers robust SEO tools and opportunities. The platform was flexible and easy to use, with the features Visit Franklin needed while giving them the ability to customize. This made scalability and integration easier than they hoped, which then gave them the time and resources needed to engage in community development. The hosting solution Plan Left offered also provided more security and the ability to scale.
