Photobox UK is one of the most recognisable names in online photo printing, offering everything from personalised gifts to premium photo products. As the brand behind Moonpig, their reputation for creativity and scale is well established. When they approached Make Do, they needed specialist WordPress support for two key challenges:
- Setting up a new WordPress blog
- Hosting and configuring a reverse proxy location
The blog was to be hosted within their main site structure at photobox.co.uk/blog, but the primary Photobox platform was not built on WordPress.
This created a complex technical challenge, requiring us to set up a reverse proxy to seamlessly point the blog to a WordPress install while keeping it fully integrated within the existing website domain.
Working closely with Photobox’s internal team, we successfully delivered the reverse proxy solution and configured the blog for long-term stability. Once in place, we moved quickly to help the client’s marketing team rebuild their WordPress blog in preparation for the critical Christmas sales period.
The new blog was designed to be clean, accessible, and highly adaptable making it much easier for Photobox to publish promotions, seasonal campaigns, and product highlights.
Beyond the technical delivery, Photobox also required hands-on consultancy and training. Their internal teams had limited WordPress experience, so we provided direct support and guidance to ensure they could manage, edit, and publish content with confidence.
This included setting up processes, advising on best practices, and providing ongoing support via a service contract.
The entire project was completed in just 3–4 weeks, demonstrating Make Do’s ability to deliver rapid, enterprise-level WordPress solutions under time-sensitive conditions.
The end result gave Photobox a modern, flexible marketing platform that could scale with their campaigns while remaining seamlessly connected to their core website.
