Share Project Cardiff
An online sharing hub for social good
Share Cardiff needed a simple web platform to be an online searchable directory for community-led sharing projects in the city. There are lots of amazing people and projects all over Cardiff but no single place to easily find out what’s going on. The Share Cardiff Project aims to collect, map and share all of these things, from Repair Cafès to litter picking groups to community gardens.
Initially the idea was to create an online map, however, due to the fact that we are not just listing events, but project and places all over Cardiff it was decided that a directory would be a better way of presenting the information (for the time being) and a better use of the budget.
We built the platform using the open-source CMS WordPress. WordPress is the most commonly used CMS on the web and it’s easy to find developers who support it.
