Project Overview

The Myasthenia Gravis Association of Queensland (MGAQ) is a community organisation supporting people living with Myasthenia Gravis and their families across Queensland.

Its website acts as an important digital resource for the community, providing access to information, resources, news and events, newsletters, membership services, research updates and online payment facilities. The organisation’s monthly newsletter is a major communication channel, covering events, research, conferences, community updates and support information.

Myriad Solutionz supported MGAQ through Drupal website management and the implementation of digital communication and payment functionality, including newsletter subscriptions, RSS-based email distribution and PayPal payment integration.

Project Overview

The Challenge

For a community organisation such as MGAQ, the website needs to do more than simply present information. It needs to provide an accessible way for members, families, supporters and the broader community to engage.

MGAQ’s website includes resources, a newsletter archive, membership information, news and events, research updates and online payment facilities. The project therefore required ongoing Drupal management alongside the configuration of communication and payment functionality.

Our Approach

Myriad Solutionz focused on strengthening the website’s content management, communication and online transaction capabilities..

01

Drupal Site Management

The Drupal website was managed and maintained to support MGAQ’s ongoing content and community requirements. The platform provides access to a wide range of information, including resources, news, events, newsletters and membership-related content.

02

RSS Feed & Emailer Integration

RSS feeds were configured as part of the site’s email workflow, allowing relevant website updates to be incorporated into subscriber communications. This provided a more structured way of distributing new content while reducing the need to manage every communication as a separate process.

03

Newsletter Subscription & Configuration

A newsletter subscription system was configured so visitors can register for MGAQ communications. The dedicated MessaGes Mailing List lets visitors enter their details to receive the monthly newsletter and upcoming news and events directly by email — supporting MGAQ’s primary form of communication with members and the community.

04

PayPal Payment Integration

PayPal payment functionality was integrated to support online transactions such as membership, while also supporting other payment methods where applicable. Members can make annual membership payments through the website, extending it beyond an information-only platform.

Myriad Solutionz helped develop and maintain a Drupal-based digital platform that brings together information, communication and online payments.
