Our Approach
Molokini delivered bespoke designs and build, using the WordPress platform, balancing speed and quality:
- Worthing Heat Network: Designed, built, and launched in just 4 days to meet urgent demand ahead of public meetings.
- OPEN Heat Network: Developed over 4 weeks, including new logo design, stakeholder interviews, and copywriting for six key pages.
