The Problem
Guernsey Water was trapped on an legacy platform that:
-
Hindered content teams with clunky, non-intuitive workflows

Constrained their brand development with limited CMS functionality

Modern Umbraco platform with enterprise security
Our website is the ‘shop window’ into the world of Guernsey Water. Technology has moved on so much since our previous website was introduced that we were increasingly hamstrung with how we presented our information and interacted with the public. We needed a slick, easy to use, constantly updateable interface which would allow us to truly enhance our digital presence. Submarine and Umbraco have delivered that. Umbraco is incredibly intuitive and will allow us to curate our content in a far more modern way and ensure it doesn’t become stale as time goes on. Submarine have been a dream to deal with and we’re excited for the next digital chapter of Guernsey Water.
