centrum-csr.com – Your Centre of Knowledge on Corporate Social Responsibility
centrum-csr.com is a modern online platform dedicated to promoting the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development. The website was designed with companies, non-governmental organisations, and anyone interested in implementing best CSR practices in mind, offering a rich resource of articles, reports, case studies, and interactive tools for launching social initiatives.
My task was to design and implement a responsive site based on WordPress, optimised for performance, usability, and search engine visibility using the technologies available at that time. This project allowed me to combine my technical skills with the mission of supporting responsible business practices.
The Purpose of the Site and Its Audience
The aim of centrum-csr.com was to create a comprehensive source of CSR information for entrepreneurs, managers, and sustainability specialists in Poland. The site offered educational articles, guides, and news related to corporate social responsibility. Its target audience included business owners, HR and marketing professionals, as well as individuals interested in implementing CSR principles within their organisations.
Site Functionalities
- Knowledge Base: A system for publishing articles and guides about CSR, built on native WordPress functions with categories (e.g. ecology, business ethics) and tags.
- Contact Form: A facility for submitting enquiries and consultations using the Contact Form 7 plugin, which integrates with the administrator’s email.
- News Section: A blog featuring the latest CSR news, optimised for frequent updates and readability.
- Responsiveness: Full compatibility with mobile devices thanks to a theme based on Bootstrap 3.
- Thematic SEO: Optimisation for key phrases such as “CSR in Poland” and “corporate social responsibility”, using All in One SEO Pack and an XML sitemap.
- Project Gallery: A section showcasing examples of CSR implementations in a gallery format, managed by the NextGEN Gallery plugin.
Challenges and Implemented Programming Solutions
- Integration of Dynamic Content: To enable quick access to an extensive database of articles and reports, we implemented asynchronous content loading mechanisms, which significantly improved the site’s fluidity.
- Scalability and Performance: The use of caching systems (Redis, Memcached) and integration with a Content Delivery Network (CDN) ensured high performance even under heavy traffic.
- Content Editing Flexibility: Thanks to custom WordPress plugins and templates dedicated to CSR articles, administrators can easily manage the site’s content and quickly react to evolving trends in social responsibility.
