The Heart of Riverdale Community Centre

A Digital Stage for a Creative Community

When The Heart of Riverdale — a vibrant youth and arts centre in Whitehorse, Yukon — was ready to refresh its online presence, we were brought on board to bring the design to life through a clean, custom web build.

Their goal? A lively, easy-to-manage site that reflects the energy of the centre and keeps the community connected to programs, performances, and opportunities.

Working from design files provided by the client, we developed a WordPress site focused on clarity, performance, and long-term usability. As with all our builds, we separated layout from content to give staff maximum flexibility without ever needing to wrestle with design tools. Streamlined content management reduces the learning curve and enhances efficiency, empowering internal teams to focus on delivering impactful content without technical distractions.

By aligning the site’s structure with the client’s real-world workflows, we created a backend experience that’s intuitive and efficient. Update a content element in one spot, and it syncs everywhere — saving time, avoiding duplication, and keeping the site consistent and cohesive.

Now, The Heart of Riverdale has a digital home that reflects its creative heartbeat — and supports the team behind the scenes just as much as the community it serves.
