Asylet Kafe
We integrated Asylet's website to WordPress CMS giving them the possibility to edit text and use an image library.
About the client
Asylet is located in Grønland – one of the most exciting and lively districts in Oslo. Our house was built as a merchant’s house in about 1730, and has a rich history. At different times, the building also functioned as a court and a bank. Since 1967 it’s been under protection of city’s authorities, and to this day – the tourist attraction of Oslo.
They offer authentic Norwegian cuisine, with a focus on meat, fish, and homemade desserts. Their cooks use locally sourced ingredients from the finest producers of Norway.
The challenge
Asylet already had their website but it was developed in html code by a previous provider so it wasn’t possible for them to:
- change text and images
- access an image library with upload, automatic resizing and preview for images
- hide and add pages.
Our proposal was to use WordPress to handle the back-end and give them the possibility to do everything they wanted.
The solution
Asylet was happy with the original design so it wasn’t very difficult to plan next steps at the beginning of the project. We agreed on some small changes with the client and as we already had the design and the content in place, we just had to organize intern in IQPLUS how to best implement WordPress in this project.
We decided to go for a quick sprint and the project was delivered in two time!
In terms of administration, WordPress is significantly easier to use than any of its competitors. The administrative interface is much more intuitive, adding content is quick and simple, and installing plugins takes very little effort.
The result
