Relaunched STQI Toronto Website!

After many months we have finally relaunched our STQI Toronto website which includes the Downtown Toronto School, Mississauga East, and Toronto East schools.

What Did We Do and Why?

We've unified our school websites and the store for student registrations, in-person classes, and online classes.

We've also gotten rid of the old WordPress Content Management System. We felt it was too slow and not well designed for our purposes.

The new site allows for greater integration of our backend system and we're able to provide more student features and support.
