A Partnership That Grows: Redesigning and Supporting Michigan Works! Region 7B's Website
Client: Michigan Works! Region 7B
Project Scope: Website redesign, content restructuring, WordPress development, form integration, and ongoing maintenance
Website: https://michworks4u.org
When Michigan Works! Region 7B decided it was time to modernize their website, they didn’t just want a new look. They wanted a partner, someone who could handle the redesign, build it on a platform they trusted, and stay with them as an extension of their team.
Upgrading the Look and Feel
For more than 45 years, Michigan Works! has been helping job seekers and employers across six counties connect with opportunities. They came to us ready to upgrade to modern design patterns, with a simple interface that would make it easy for job seekers to find services and employers to post and partner with new opportunities.
Region 7B chose WordPress because it’s familiar and gives their team the option to manage content independently. We redesigned the site from the ground up with a fresh visual direction, focusing on clarity and ease of use. Job seekers now have a clear path to training resources, and employers can easily find their information. The updated content and refreshed design made the site more modern and usable.
A Trusted Web Team
Our relationship didn’t end at launch. Recognizing that website maintenance and support would be a great value add, Region 7B asked us to stay on as their exclusive web services partner. Today, we handle all WordPress maintenance and updates, from plugin upgrades to adding new pages or forms. This partnership means they never have to worry about technical details; they can focus on what they do best, connecting people to meaningful work.
Results That Matter
The modernized MichiganWorks4u.org welcomes visitors with an accessible, mobile‑friendly design. Job seekers and employers can find the right information quickly, and the site stays up‑to‑date without pulling staff away from critical programs. Because it’s built on WordPress, Region 7B still retains the option to make edits themselves if needed—something they valued from the start.
