What We Built
We built the full website with a six-section structure, policies stored as structured records behind a paginated archive, and a state framework ready for national expansion. Alongside it we built a custom WordPress plugin with four database tables, two shortcode forms, a review workflow, seven client-editable email templates, group sending and an automatic newsletter. Both share the same navy and gold identity.
classicliberals.org.auKey Features
The parts of the build that keep content growing and routine work simple.
Forty-plus policies as structured records, each with its own page in a paginated archive.
Applications move from pending to active or rejected, with the right branded email each time.
Seven templates stored in the database with merge tags, so the client can change the wording.
Publishing a post emails the whole list once, with four guards so it never sends twice.
A fresh security token at submit time, plus honeypot, timing check and per-IP throttle.
Email members, subscribers or both, filtered by state, deduplicated and fully logged.
How It Works
How a visitor moves from the policy library to an approved membership.
