National Organic Training Skillnet
A stable, easy-to-run website for Ireland's organic training network, bringing course bookings and an online book store together in one place, and kept running smoothly year after year.
Training for Ireland's organic sector
National Organic Training Skillnet (NOTS) is a not-for-profit network offering high-quality, low-cost, part-funded training for the organic and agri-food sectors across the Republic of Ireland. Its courses serve farmers, growers, processors, food businesses, agricultural professionals and consultants.
Alongside a busy programme of courses, farm walks and nationwide events, NOTS runs a book store and library of specialist titles on soil, growing, livestock and regenerative farming.
One website, three jobs
NOTS needed a site that could showcase a large and varied course programme, take bookings, and sell books, while staying simple for a small team to manage and dependable for the people relying on it.
A big course programme
Courses across eleven categories, from horticulture and apiculture to organic farming and homesteading, all needed to be easy to browse.
Bookings that just work
Learners needed a clear path from finding a course to securing a place, without friction or confusion.
Selling specialist books
The book store needed proper online ordering, so titles could be bought as easily as courses could be booked.
A stable platform for learning and selling
Clear, content-managed website
A clean WordPress site the NOTS team can update themselves, with courses organised into clear categories and simple navigation.
Integrated booking environment
Course listings link straight through to a dedicated booking platform, giving learners a smooth route from browsing to booking and giving NOTS one place to manage places.
Online book store
A WooCommerce shop for the NOTS book collection, with product pages, pricing, a cart and secure checkout.
Accessible and fast
An accessibility toolbar lets visitors adjust the site to their needs, and page caching keeps it quick to load.
Specialist titles, a click away
From soil health to market gardening, the NOTS library is now available to buy online, alongside the courses it supports.
