The Fédération Française de Golf (the French Golfing Federation) migrated its website to Ibexa DXP to modernize the customer experience. Its content-first approach and committed engagement with social media has boosted advertising revenues and led to an increase in business partners eager to affiliate themselves with the brand. Membership is up, and when a further move to v2.5 of Ibexa DXP is complete, personalization will amplify these excellent results.

The site generates a significant audience – we’re talking tens of millions page views throughout the year – and we had to present a quality user experience.
