Enhanced WordPress Functionality and User Experience for CapX News Publication
Client: CapX
CapX is a fast-growing news publication and aggregator that curates articles on politics, economics, technology, and big ideas from thousands of sources worldwide. While their readership and reputation expanded rapidly, the existing website struggled to keep pace. The platform had several technical limitations, impacting both functionality and user experience.
When Make Do was brought on board, CapX already had a strong visual identity and an established site design. Rather than redesigning from scratch, our role as a WordPress support agency was to enhance the functionality, improve performance, and ensure the site could continue to support their growth without losing its distinctive look and feel.
The challenge was multifaceted. We had to implement broad technical improvements while maintaining the integrity of the original site design. This required innovative development solutions to extend and improve the codebase without disrupting the live experience for users.
Performance was a key priority, as was ensuring that the interface remained intuitive and fully responsive across mobile and tablet devices.
Over several weeks, our team worked closely with CapX founders to deliver custom WordPress development and we added new features to increase editorial flexibility, optimised site performance to handle higher traffic volumes, and improved the user journey to make the platform more engaging and accessible. By focusing on both front-end usability and back-end stability, we created a more reliable and scalable solution for CapX.
A smoother, more engaging experience
Make Do did an excellent job of getting to grips with our existing platform, and delivering the improvements we needed on time and on
budget. The support and aftercare were first-class throughout.

The results speak for themselves. The updated platform now offers a smoother, more engaging experience for readers while retaining the familiar CapX branding and design.
By enhancing the site without reinventing it, we gave CapX a future-proof platform ready to support their continued growth in the competitive world of digital publishing.
