We Launched SFIMA’s New WordPress Website – Here’s How We Did It
Zulu Shack Creative is excited to announce the launch of the new SFIMA website, a bold step forward for one of South Florida’s most respected marketing associations. We built a modern, high-performance platform designed to engage members, highlight events, and position SFIMA as a leader in South Florida’s digital marketing community.
The Challenge Before the Redesign
SFIMA’s old website had served its purpose—but like any digital platform, time caught up. The design felt dated, content updates were clunky, and the mobile experience wasn’t where it needed to be. For an association leading conversations in digital marketing and innovation, the site needed to reflect that same forward-thinking energy.
Our Approach & Why We Chose Elementor
We chose Elementor as the foundation because it gives SFIMA speed, flexibility, and visual control. Zulu Shack Creative created a future-proof platform that SFIMA can update easily without waiting on developers. Built on Elementor for flexibility and backed by Zulu Shack’s custom development expertise, the site is modern, fresh, and ready for growth.
Key Features of the New SFIMA (South Florida Interactive Marketing Association) WordPress Website
Zulu Shack Creative focused on user experience and performance at every step:
- Event Management Made Simple – Members can easily browse, register, and stay up to date on SFIMA events.
- Mobile-First Design – Optimized for any device, because the modern web lives everywhere.
- Lightning-Fast Performance – Pages load quickly, improving SEO and user engagement.
- Visual Impact – A clean, vibrant design that feels current and forward-thinking.
The result is a site that drives engagement and reinforces SFIMA’s position as a leader in the South Florida digital marketing community.
A Partnership Built on Trust
This project wouldn’t have been possible without our collaboration with Tandem Interactive, a powerhouse in the digital marketing world. We’re honored to be trusted by Joe Laratro, Tandem’s CEO and SFIMA’s board leader. When industry leaders like Joe and Tandem put their confidence in Zulu Shack Creative, it speaks volumes about the quality and reliability of our work.
The Feedback
The SFIMA team is so happy with the results. They love the speed, clean design, and user-friendly experience—and so do their members. For us, that’s the ultimate digital marketing win.
