The new custom page builder gives AMCP staff the ability to create beautiful, dynamic pages with automated content validation – all without developer intervention.
User experience improvements

We streamlined navigation and improved site structure, enhanced search functionality, and refreshed the visual design to create a more consistent and accessible experience.
Phased implementation

We deployed changes in stages to minimize disruption, allowing for continuous feedback, thorough testing, and a smooth transition to the new platform.
