Powered by it, our new website now reveals in a clear and vibrant way what we do and the impact we have on our community. We’ve received extremely positive feedback from our users.”

• Build and convey its unique story through video, imagery and infographics
• Create distinctive charity campaigns that have resulted in increased engagement
• Conduct A/B testing of campaigns to improve performance and make adjustments on the go, based on data

Finally, using Progress Sitefinity has helped The Royal British Legion boost its productivity. Because Progress Sitefinity is so easy to use, The Royal British Legion can quickly train new users and better manage the content creation process.
