GreyCupFestival.ca

In 2014, the Canadian Football League head office was handed over the WordPress website assets for the 104th Grey Cup Festival hosted in Winnipeg. From 2015 through 2017, we continued to flip over the website, now with a permanent URL location of https://www.greycupfestival.ca/ on behalf of each hosting team and made modest improvements each time.

By the offseason between 2017 and 2018, we’d had enough experience with operating the site and undertook a full rebuild, with the main goal of making the site easy to turn over each year by simply making use of the WordPress Customizer interface, the Events Calendar plug-in and page templates for early in the year, mid-year and the time period in which the event calendar for the festival is partially or fully known. Finally, a standard website operating manual was creating and was provided each year to the new host team along with a screenshare tutorial on major site features.
